Well everyone should know by now that I've said good by to the "Tomato" project and moved on.......

I’ve always had a thing for early second gens, back in the day (1980 - before many of you were either born or out of diapers) my brother bought a 73 Z/28 and he used to take me for beat runs. Nothing like being 11 and seeing the tach @ 5500 and the speedo at 120 barking down the highway. Man that was fun….. anyway back in 1998 when I got back into cars and drag racing I had wanted to get a 70-73 Z/28 but found the “Tomato” and was impatient so I got it and have dumped many a hard working dollar into it, well after finally getting tired of it and not having the time to work on it or go racing as often as I’d like I decided to get more of an all around car that I always wanted, something that I can still drag race but also hit the auto X and more importantly drive on the street ……So I picked up a 1973 Z/28

I got it about a week ago and have been removing the redneck stuff ever since (I still have to remove the homemade window tint).

Currently it has an old school sbc 350 w/ dart heads, weiand intake, holly carb, TH350 and yes a distributor!!

I’m going to be putting my 4L60E into it from the “Tomato” and hooking up with Vinny and Dean (www.860performance.com and www.dynotunenitrous.com ) to get an NX kit and accessories to ram a 150 shot down its throat.

This should cure what ails it until I can get some time to find either an LS-1 or LS-2 that I can put into it. Other future mods are full suspension upgrades (currently sits way too high for me) and a bear brake package. New rims / tires are a must also.

Hey, what can I say, I got tired of waiting for GM to build me a new Camaro so I’ll do it myself!!

Things to be ordered immediately are a front air dam and a Z/28 emblem for the rear spoiler.

This car is a true Z/28.

Thanks to Andrew for hosting some pics for me.

P.S. It sounds rather horny

 

Marc,

Your car is frickin' SWEET. I really like the paint scheme too. A friend of mine has a 70 1/2 with a 396.

 

Bob,
Thanks, now let's talk about that 32 valve sitting between the fenders

TTYL,
Marc

 

You must have a thing for red cars. Sweet car

 

Not sure why the planets always allign when it comes to me and red camaro's

My first car was a Maroon 70 Camaro SS350.

Thanks,
Looking forward to getting it to the track to see what its made of.

Marc

 

whaaaaaaat? marc you are driving a car that has a carb?

that thing looks really nice man, great find. Don't go w/ an ls1 or 2, i think that hood would look nice with a big 8-71 sticking out of it don't you think

 

Jayman,
Good to hear from ya.

Yup a carb and hell even a distributor !!

Hey, a couple of us are going to look at some ******* on Tuesday at 7 if you (or Ted) are interested.

First time at Tens with the remodel job, three floors of *******

Uncle Marc
P.S. Thanks but I'll stick with my LS1 plan, it will look like a sled but will lay the smackdown when needed

 

Did I hear someone say *******?

 

12/27 7 pm - Tens.

Uncle Marc
P.S. Deb, don't tell Sue

 

Nice Car

 

Thanks

Marc

Thanks, I was wondering what happened to you and your project.

How is that coming along? Got a few things left if you need anything.

Never forget my first night at basic when after 24 hours some dude said "you're too hard on me" to the TI, guess who was latrine queen?
