Hi there everyone. I live on Vancouver Island and due to a wreck I found myself in the middle of a few weeks ago, I have no car. Due to financial oddities, I also find myself unable to secure financing for a new car, so I have to find something with the money I have. I am hoping to find a early 70's or late 70's/early 80's Z28 with a 350 and a 4 or 5 speed manual to keep the dream alive. Anyone have access to a Van Sun or something that might have a few moments of time to feed me info on classifieds or know of someone with a car that falls into this category? I have about $3-4k to spend.... any help or pointers appreciated. The available Z28's over here on the island are very weak, so I am now hoping to expand my search across the water to your area.... thank you in advance.

 

Classifieds can be viewed online for almost any major Canadian newspaper: www.canada.com

Also, go to canadatrader.com, buysell.com, autotrader.com, and ebay.com if you need some referencing data upon which to base your decision.

Good luck .

i think there was a couple of guys on here that were selling their 2nd gens, talos was one of them, cant remember the other, search the boards its out there

 

 

Watch for rust in the quarters, sagging springs, splitting gas tank, sagging doors... Just a few of the things I've had to repair.

 

search for Richy rich's post, he has an 81 4 speed for sale right now.

 

Sorry to hear about your car....but who has it now...is it being parted out? I need a few things ...sorry I know this is a hard time for ya.

Regards;

Mike

 

ya richyrich is sellin one for cheap but mines pretty, and we can talk about that price i know its high, i would rather see it go to an fbody guy

 

Thank you for your post... I will certainly keep an eye out for these things. Sure is handy having experts here to help point things out for me!! Thank you kindly...

 

Found it... perfect! Cool, thanks for the tip!!!

 

Mike, yeh this has been a totally brutal time for me. Been screwed by the system and now find myself heartbroken and without a beloved FBody. Not to mention my favorite aunt passed away last week too... a lot of crap in a very short time this month. At any rate, the car was written off and is now in the hands of Canadian Northern Shield insurance company. I do not know what they do with these things under the circumstances. The front end of the car was totally and completely mashed due to some idiot in a 1/2 ton pickup truck pulling out in front of me magically without checking to see if the road was clear.... Sorry I can't help you more than that...

 

Sold that 81 Z yesterday-it was a deal at that price & sold thru word of mouth-thanks guys

 

nice good job.
