if you look up "yact" you'll see a few other threads by me. well i finally bit the bullet, and on impulse at that. kind of a stupid thing to do generally speaking but it suits my needs/wants at the moment and i did pretty well. It's a third gen (85) iroc. 5-spd 305 highoutput, red ext/red int, t-top, mint condition body. a few little dinky things to fix.
He was asking $4420. I made the deal at $3495. 🙂 Apparently it was evaluated well over $4500. He was just having a hard time selling it (not many calls). So, since there were one or two other people wanting to check it out soon and being interested.. I offered him $200 more than my original counter-offer for him to just let it go at that price right now. so we wrote up a contract. 🙂
got the vin # etc, and gonna get her inspected before I buy.
He was really attached to his car. 😛 he really didn't want to let it go at that price. thankfully we had others coaxing him.. mwahaha. the car has four wheel disc brakes compared to the 2disc/2drum that the other z28 had. this one has power seats, too. and the clutch felt right. the car ran amazingly considering it had a lot of mileage, although the engine was completely rebuilt apparently. i was expecting it to be a POS.
Future plans for the car:
paintjob - the paint already looks amazing but i might want to paint it black, but I'll see. i'll have all the little things fixed while this is done
engine/tranny - it's a 305 carb w/5-speed. it's ok, great for starters.. but furhter down the road I want to invest in an LT1/6spd swap. gonna be pricey and time consuming. 🙂
