Ok just pretend the jap car in the middle isnt there ...
'71 (shipped over from So Cal), '78RS (cuz I have to be different, everyone keeps the Z's -- and yes it has the original 14" rims, ouch), '74 Z28 Circle Track.

I'll look around - i dont have many picts of these (like usually just in a line-up at a show, not exciting) - but I have many of cars I've sold (go figure). Like the '81 Z28 (had 50k miles, original, from Colorado), or the 87 IROC (yellow, 350, double rare since there were few 350's in 87, and last year of yellow)

Running/driving - HAH - so here's a story.
I did a quick prep of the 71 for the 2006 power tour, rip the entire suspension out, hotchkis suspension/springs, new exhaust, new everything underneath - it had to *drive* good. Had just enough time to do that. Figured - "it runs, its moves - ok Check, good enough (engine/tranny)". Get to DC, its like a 100 degrees out, crawling in rush hour traffic - POOF - there goes my head gasket. Discovered after that the damn heads were milled too far - crappy rebuild job, no way for the gaskets to properly seal.

The '71 went on the Northeast RodRun 2 years ago, I'm changing out the engine (again) this year and taking it this fall.

One more pict - cuz I miss this one ... I sold it about 3 years back. I bought this from colorado. ~50k miles on it, all original. needed to be cleaned up and definitely needed some tlc from sitting around so long. the pict here was after I was all done with it. the only bummer - a Z with a detuned smogged out 305 engine - WTF was GM thinking. my current taurus commuter car has more pep than that thing had. "all show - but no no go". my '71 in comparison isnt "finished" yet (heh - but then again - are they ever?)

did you sell that car to a gentleman up my way say around south boston? Or did you have the exhaust redone on it say a few years agoish???

This car is an '81. Never went to Boston while I had it ... I sold it to a chic from Las Vegas (sight unseen - she liked the picts). Funny thing is - years earlier I had almost the same exact car, but an '80, and when I sold that one - a chic in Mahopac bought it. So - am I driving chic cars, or do chics dig these cars? Not sure which one it is yet ;-)

I had an '81 with the same color stickers as your, but it was charcoal gray. I bought it out of Texas in 1988, with 42k on the odometer. The things was MINT and fully loaded. All I did was replace all the rubbers with new stuff and threw a fresh paintjob on it. Nine days after the bodyshop I was in the middle of a 4 car accident and it got totalled. I was out of work from that accident for almost 6 months because of injuries. That is still one of my cars that I miss the most (my '89 Formula tops that list. that one got stolen)

My '81 had every option including the 350 instead of the 305. Once I got it I put headers and a cam into it, along with getting a the tranny reworked so it would take more abuse. That car even had the factory slapstick shifter. I haven't seen to many of those.

You planning on going this year?
Power tour isn't looking as promising as I had hoped so seriously been thinking of making plans to do this and the Woodward dream cruise instead :)

I'm definitely going on the rodrun. Hotels are already booked. All the info is on the NERR site. I think we're going to have a decent turnout this year - within a day or two of the info getting posted for the 2nd hotel 1/2 the rooms were already taken. We have group rates at all 3 hotels - but only for a limited time.
