what car to buy?

[spdtrip]

I've mentioned im looking for a late 2nd gen z28. Well I found 2 that im
interested in here is a brief rundown on the cars.

1979 z28, auto, white with blue decals, non t-top car,newer paint, 1971 454, 350 trans,needs interior (looks just like my high school car) 7,500.00

1981 z28, auto, silver with blue decals, is a t-top car, paint looks good, 383 stroker,350 trans,interior looks good but I would change alot of it, car over all looks nice (saw in person) 8,500.00

I believe both have some newer suspension parts nothing fancy though.

what ya think?

you have to reeeaally love this body style to justify throwing money at it. They produced such large numbers of these cars, their collectible value is minimal, and are not the most popular.

Hot Rod magazine just did teh pro-touring treatment on a 79 z28, with the 6.2liter 425hp e-tec motor that will supposedly meet california emissions. Hot Rod easily spent 30k on that build, to which I would ask, why not just buy a new one????

I'd stick with the non-t car. As a bonus, it's the cheaper of the two.

Non T-Top car for sure!

Just buy the car in the best physical shape you can afford. A rust free whatever you want is your cheapest investment. None of these cars are a great investment, buy and build what you want.

Is there any car that is worth the money and time thrown at, Very few......Buy the one you like and build it because you want to and enjoy it the way you want to ( no T-tops )
