Z-BOSS

Have you ever heard the saying "You had me from hello."? 

A good buddy of mine A.K.A. "LIL GT" asked me to do a road trip to pick up this hot rod.  LiL GT worked out a deal to trade a pretty clean GT mustang for Z-Boss from a guy out of North Carolina.  We met him half way at the rolling hills of Chattanooga, TN.  We all looked at the car as it pulled up and we were all shocked to see how striking the car actually was.  It was probably one of the best scheme on a 1st gen camaro I'd ever seen.  I'd never been a fan of stripes, red, nor the Z-28's, but this dude just shocked me.  Then he cranked it.  

From that moment, "She had me from hello."

Knowing "LIL GT" like I do. I told him I wanted first shot at this car when he decided to move on.  After all LIL GT only goes through more cars in a year than I do in a life time.  That time came, and we worked out a deal that we both felt was fair.

The Trade

We determined it was a pretty even trade.  Although mustang seemed to be the better car, we knew that every year that he kept it, that the value was going to drop.  Unless he kept it in storage for about  30 years.  That's not how we roll!

Very straight body and sharp lines.  

I'd say the paint is a 7 out of 10.  From about 10' back, she shines like a new penny. Which makes it perfect driver.  We don't store no stinking cars.  

We run the hell out of them!

    After inspecting the car all I can say is I "think" I have a pretty solid car.  The floor boards and truck pan are original with no rust.  The quarters look to be original.  If they replaced the quarters, they did it with full quarters and did a good enough job, I can't tell.

    As far as what's under the paint, I'm not sure.  I hope it falls in line with the floor boards and trunk.  I'm not going to jinks myself and say there's no bondo in the body.  I'll know in a few years if some bubbles start popping up...
