    Liking the SS badging on the wagon ... it needs rallye stripes!

    I just sold my 89 IROC 5.7 last year .... not my favorite car but it sure was pretty, as is yours!

    Very nice Chevys. Parked together in your garage I'm sure it makes your garage look like a late 70's time capsule.
    A friend of mine just finished restoring his 74 stripe delete Camaro Z-28, bone stock down to the tires. Its rare to see restored 73 & newer 2nd gen Camaros done to look factory stock.

    Absolutely outstanding! Must be difficult deciding which one to go get the milk & bread in. :D
    I really like the rims on your wagon, are they rings and centers? Would they be period correct for Fannie(my wagon)?

    That is a awesome pair, I really admire how you kept the Z-28 looking origonal school yet with the mods (hood, ladder bars), seeing one today, you never see one with the factory stripes, wheels etc. Nice tasteful job on the Z:beerchug:

    yes they should be period correct, they are with trim rings and center caps, i used 15x7 trim rings on the rear 15x8 wheels, shows more of the rim so it looks more deep dish type. We actually took it grocery shopping a few weeks ago, so many looks and thumbs up from many ages, its kinda funny.

    Thank u, yea had to keep it original, it has 46,000 original miles on it, originally a Canadian car so the MPH is in kilometers, pretty rare, i like to try to keep them as original as possible, appearance wise. Sorry to hear about your dog, i have 2 English Bulldogs that are like my kids, i'd be lost without them, having a tough time putting the seats down in the wagon and taking them for a ride, interior is mint but im sure i'll end up doing it soon.

    Very nice pair of period Chevy's. The Z is sweet but I'm loving the wagon and the fact you put SS badges on it. Both of them look mint and you should be very proud of them. Which one does your son prefer?
