As some of you may have heard me talk in the past, my uncle bought an 1981 Camaro Z28, brand new, and had intended to give it to me when I was looking for my first car - an intention my mom may have failed to relay to me - probably wanted me to get something other than a Camaro for my first car. Well, we all know that didn't work. 
Anyway - fast forward nine years - my uncle and I finally got around to making good on readying the car for shipment after having discussed for the past few years. The car was picked up on May 30th.
Four nights later (6-3-16), it was dropped off in front of my house (ironically the night before the Meet & Greet).
The car has the LG4 305, with a whole 165HP and 245 lb-ft of torque - but it does have the 4-speed. My uncle did not buy the 350 simply because it could not be had with a manual. It's got nearly every option other than the 350. AC, power windows, t-tops, etc.
Mileage isn't really known - my uncle guesses around 120k miles. At some point, he disconnected the speedometer cable (for some reason or another), so the mileage isn't accurate.
The car has a bunch of solid '80s or '90s sound equipment - Pyle 8" woofers and 4" midranges (can't determine the brand yet - but they're made in Norway) in the rear deck, with a Zapco class AB amplifier mounted to the deck as well. The center console bin also houses a Zapco Pre-amp/equalizer. There are JVC ribbon tweeters in the door, and a Kenwood tape deck that hides behind a fake AM/FM radio cover.
Other than that, it's definitely stock. The paint is pretty rough - my uncle went a bit too far with an buffer and burned through all the layers of (more than likely thin) paint, years and years ago. Can't say I don't dig the look, though. It has some minor damage on the right side, on the door and the quarter panel, and a little bit of rust on the bottom of the passenger door and under the trunk lip - and rust holes right at the front of the hood. The rest is just surface rust - from what I can tell, the car is pretty solid.
