new toy for me too
thanks guys... trim wise I'll have to do some research and find more about dealer options... the wheels have a gold cast except the rim area... and there is gold pinstriping that goes ok with the wheel tone... now I have to find a place to store my boat so I have room for this at home ... thanks again....

Hi all... bought this 78 over the weekend .. was told it was making a whining noise but I never did hear anything .. it's been a long time since I drove a z .. 20 years or so ... it's pretty much rust free ,, not a fan of the chrome/stainless steel trim that someone put on the car but for the most part it's in OK shape ,,, the steering seems a little flat ...ball joints may need replacing... bringing my baby home this Sunday ... thanks for previous advice.... Kevin
