Chevrolet 1983 Z28 Camaro
Added on Nov. 17 by ClemSparks
5 speed car, updated to hydraulic clutch. It’s got a used (presumably stock) 350 in it now. I’m working on buttoning up the drivetrain, exhaust and such after the engine swap. It’s the car I drove in college. It’s been sitting for almost 10 years, and now I’m playing with it again!
I’m on the lookout for some cheap, used tires for the 16x8 IROC wheels that I have for it (not pictured). Same goes with a cheap, used catback exhaust system and any other go-fast, handle-good goodies that you might have laying around for a 3rd gen Fbody.
This thing is ratty, but I’m hoping to trim it down and make something fun out of it. Ultimate aspirations are for some track duty in the distant future.
