OhioFisherman Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Apparently no one would bid enough to get to the reserve, story does sound fishy. Give me a 70 1/2 z-28 over it any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeXXington Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yeap, broke down at 4 miles on the way home took it back too the dealer and it was out of warranty cause he drove it off the lot. Cost 25,000 to fix the engine, breaks everything else that broke from the factory. Guy figures he might get some money for the rims and trashed the car. Good old Mid 80's north american made car. How a lot has changed since the mid 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoty Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I had an 84 Z28 H.O, and loved it. Wiped any mustang that was around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I had an 84 Z28 H.O, and loved it.Wiped any mustang that was around In 84 all they had was a 305 HO 4 barrel carb. No 350. And they were notoriously gutless wonders. A paltry 190 hp@4800 rpm with somewhat respectable torque 240lb/ft@3200. Somebody put a 350 in yours by mistake -right?

huey graphite Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Not much of a car enthusiast, but bought myself a '86 RS Camaro in 1990 as a gift to myself for graduating college. I put 300,000kms on it and had few mechanical problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bow slayer Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I use to regularly embarress the owners of the Irocs with 350 TPI and all the 5.0 mustangs back in the late 80's with my Buick Grand National. I still own it today with only 90 ks on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hop in a Subaru WRX and push the throttle down. 4 wheel peel is an apt description. Love the car! There are others out there too but I really would like one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 can you compare mid 80's power levels to what we have today? You can't EC. You are right. Had a couple late 70's Z's too. A set of cylinder heads, an intake, camshaft plus a few other fun items....Wahoo we have a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
