Mitchel0407 gave you some decent advice. If it's all about the dollars, either rebuild what you have and perhaps go to a manual transmission. Next better choice would be a new GM crate engine. Small block GM engines are reasonably easy to work on and more or less stock crate engines can be had from many sources that don't cost an arm or a leg. I have had many z cars over the years with stock engines, V8 GM powered, stroked out big cam four br carbed car and a high hp, zillion dollar track car to mention a few. I sure had a blast with all of them!!! Like someone once said " if I had all the money I ever spent on Z cars, I'd spend it all on Z cars".

I will have to agree with NewZed. The seller has invested a bunch of $ in this car but it is still a project that will need many, many hours and days of work to complete. You will need to know what you are doing in order to make a drivable Z. After reading his post, he doesn't say much about the engine. All in all a stock, not even rebuilt l28 T engine is a big question mark. There are some nice Z cars out their for sale without all the work this one will require that you could tag and drive without the hastle.

Let that ship sail! Find another decent body for a few grand and save yourself a ton of time and money. I've seen many "resto plans" dye on the vine after the joy has passed, months and years go by and the person doing it burns out. Just my ywo cents!! Good luck.

My hat is off to you guys. You are now body men delux!

Virginia International, Carolina Motorsports Park are both good ones. CMP is in SC. Depending on where you are, both should not be far.

Adjust the door hinges per instructions in th FSM. Easy!

Looks like someone tried to cover up a bunch of body problems with under coat and paint that will take a lot of time/money to repair. Keep on looking for a better example. They are out there to be found.

Recd. mine. Nice quality! Thank you Ryan.

Jim Cook Racing has a face book group.

Very nice and I'm sure it has taken a TON of time, work and dollars to get to this point. I've never seen a GTO in person and I've always liked the look. It's kind off understated. Will you be road racing this car? Have you thought about what "looks like" a lack of down force from the front end? You have lots of HP and lots of top end to deal with.

Good Idea! I'm a buyer.

MSA had a deal to recover them. They did a set for me a few years ago and they looked really nice. Check with them.

I have rear arms from a 73 here in N. Myrtle Beach. Yours for the taking away.
