dads old 79

[MunsterZ28]

i cannot remember the username, but he did register here AFTER the dyno day so he is a relatively new member. Brian should know his name because he was enthusiastically passing out mifbody propaganda at the dream cruise

edit: I think it had the 75ish style tail lights so im guessing its not the car, but i could be wrong. in any case its very very similar.

ill try to dig it up, thanks for the lead joel

oo ok thank you for letting me know

my luck the car has rotted away in a junk yard. ive checked a few around here to no avail that might be a good sign

That's a nice car.

My uncle has an '81 Z28 that he bought new, I believe it's the same color scheme. He's the original owner.

That was a nice car. Seems that for some reason brown cars survive longer than any other color.

Nice looking car.............I'd start with his insurance co., if he's had the same agent thru the years there's a slight chance they may have a vin # around still.......it's a slight chance, but what do you have to lose??

That's a good idea, especially if he's been there since he was 16...

How long ago did he sell it? Does he even have a name?

You really need a VIN...with a VIN you can go through the Secretary of State and see if it's been sold in the last 10 years...if it has they'll be able to give you a complete owner trail for that time period.

Without a VIN, or if it hasn't sold in the last 10 years, you can run down their name through People Finder or something similar, but that will be just a bit more time consuming.

When I was looking for a car, I test drove one exactly like that one except for a 4-speed...

Good luck on your search and if I see it I'll let you know.

The one Joel is thinking of is Will's and don't think it's the same one:

nope completely different year... full front bumper and different tailights, plus a different graphic scheme. That one is a four speed too if i remember right, its a nice car.

I have GOT to get mine going next season. All these pics of '79s are killing me (well, that, the bills, truck, "bird, etc [you get the idea]). Good luck on the search, but don't let them bring your buying price up to $250k.
