I guess you could say this one kinda just fell in my lap. After selling my '87 5.0 T/A back in '91, I'd always promised myself I'd get another F-Body. About 3 months ago, the '93 Dodge Daytona I was driving threw a rod while on the way home from work. It still puzzles me because I kept that engine in mint condition. ANYWAY.. The next day, after getting a ride home from a co-worker, I stopped by one of my neighbors to see if he wanted to goto happy hour.. him driving of course. He then asked me..."What are you going to do about a car?" I said I had no clue but that I needed something fast. He said, "I'll sell you mine for $500" I thought he had completely lost his mind at first. Then he explained to me that the chick he was shacking up with and moving to Dallas, TX with, would be buying him a new Jeep once they arrived. I said.."SOLD"
I gave him the $500 the very next day. Took the car to emissions and passed with flying colors..titled it in my name..etc. The next day I went to Discount Tire to have them look at one of the Yokohama YK420's ($140 each) that seemed to go flat every few days..(he told me). After looking at the rubber, they told me they were going to get on the phone with Yoko because the tires were PEELING at the tread surface. Yoko told them to REPLACE all 4 with a brand new set at no charge!!!
SO that's about it. I'm now the proud owner of a '91 Z28 5.7 TPI. It's in beautiful shape all around. There's not one single dent or smidgeon of rust. I'm the 3rd owner and have been babying it every day. I'm probably going to drive it for the next year and then stick it under a cover in my garage. Then it will be my toy. Got it for $500 bones!!! Thanks Dave!!!!!
