If this 1980 Z28 doesn’t speak to your retro sensibilities then I am afraid all is lost. It needs a couple things, mainly an engine, trans, and seats, but other than that this is an amazing looking example that will have everyone on the street or at the track wishing they were you. We’d put a big block in it with a Dominator and gold Moroso valve covers on it. A 200 shot to keep it real would also be in our recipe and then we’d drive the every loving crap out of it. The paint is amazing on this thing and it looks to us like a quick touchup on the newly updated cage and a pair of comfy seats would make it cruising perfection. If we were going for bulletproof on a budget we’d go with a TH400 behind the big block, but if we had the scratch we’d go Lenco all the way. Can you imagine how much fun this thing would be?

All l would add is a GearVenders overdrive unit on the end of the 400 turbo. I may put a set of more retro wheels on it though…..maybe old school, light weight DragStars

I dunno. It seems to be begging for a big block with gold Moroso valve covers to me.
