I really don't have to do this, but it's not fair for the car to not be put to use for what it is.



I'm selling because I boat more than I race, and I want a bigger boat, plain and simple.



So here it is, my 1997 Z28 for sale.



The car has gone a best of 11.14 @ 120.06, 1.542 60', with a 7.081 @ 96.39 1/8. I have a bunch of low 11 second passes on this car to back it up, and many on this site have seen it. The car is an all motor LT1.



Specs: Fully loaded Z28, Bright Green Metallic / Charcoal Leather Interior.



90k miles on the body/interior (you would never guess though), and around 2-3K miles on the entire drivetrain. Paint is mostly flawless given the year, and the interior is in near perfect shape given the year.



Engine Specs:



355 LT1 shortblock, .030 over
Forged Mahle Pistons
Forged I-beam Scat rods

Lloyd Elliot "LE2" ported stock castings
Ferrara Valves 2.00/1.56

"LE3" 236/236 .600/.600 Cam
Comp 850 lifters
Pac 1518 Beehive Springs
Comp 1.6 Pro Mag Rockers
Comp Chromoly 1 piece pushrods

Milodon 30909 oil pan w/ HV oil pump, ARP drive

ARP head bolts (12pt)



Transmission Specs:



Solid Built 4L60E (CPT) "Pro Race" Build w/ 4L65E

output shaft and support
Yank PT4000 TC



Rear:



Moser Ford 9", 31 spline moser axles

Strange 4.11

Ford Trak-loc



Suspension:



Mostly stock, except BMR Lower Control Arms & Hotchkis Panhard Rod



Wheels/Tires



15x10 & 15.x3.5 Weld ProStars

Up front 165R15 Tires

Out Back 275/50/15 M/T DR's with a few passes left in 'em.



Tuning by PCMforless, mailorder tune.



All the usual boltons, LT headers, xpipe (no mufflers), cold air intake, 58mm BBK TB, etc.



The few bads:



Car could use a better tune than the mailorder, I've been meaning to get it tuned locally but never got around to it. That being said, it runs the amazing times it does on this mailorder. It takes a minute or so to find idle at cold, but after that she's good to go.



Paint on the rear bumper is faded a bit, it polishes up but fades right back.



I noticed today the dash pad is starting to crack, only a 1/2" so far.



O2's are disconnected, never replaced 'em. Car runs fine w/o 'em.



Airbag light is on, the SIR coil in the steering wheel needs to be replaced, $40 part used. ABS inop is on due to the Ford 9".



Just trying to be as honest as I can about it.



I'd like to get around $10k for it, but it's negotiable. Here are some pictures....

If I had money, I would buy it.

Seriously Javier, you will regret selling that car...

Javier97Z28

I know I will, I just hate to see it sit.

I've not gotten many hits, so I don't know that it will sell, and I'm not gonna give it away.

Josh'95Z28conv

Try Craigslist. I sold mine there on the second ad I posted and got what I expected out of it. Went much quicker than I thought. Oh, and if its as high maintenance as mine was, you wont miss it as much as you think

Javier97Z28

Thanks Josh, just listed it on craigslist. I've had luck w/ craiglist before, didn't know what to think with a car like this.

And you're probably right btw.

Down to 9k now btw.

za355tx

Trust me if I had the money this car would be mine. I've read about it many times and watched some of your vids. Bad car man. My dad sold you that BBK throttle body btw. Anyways good luck man. A very well represented LE car.

soonerwarren

i know you said you want 10k but i have 7500 in cash i could give you but i understand if you think that is not enough

Kraest

Good Luck. Sucks about selling it.

Javier97Z28

Sorry man, I even jumped to $9k before being ready to, but I'd take $9k if someone put it under my nose. I won't go $7500 though, thanks for the offer.

Yah, sucks even more when you don't "have to," just hate to see it sit when I could use the money for a toy I'd use alot more.

Javier97Z28

Bump, listening to reasonable offers.

Javier97Z28

Is there really that little bit of interest in LT1 cars these days? This is a steal for a solid performing car.. it would cost quite a bit to duplicate this car...

Just curious, I see there's alot of views..

Tar Heel

Unfortunately, there does seem to be little interest these days in the LT1. I just bought a H/C '95 Impala SS with over $40,000 in receipts. It make 500rwhp/630ft./lbs. on the spray and runs high11s NA and high 10s on nitrous. I gave the guy WELL LESS than 1/4 of what he had in parts. And oh yeah, the car is immaculate and only has 75,000 miles on it.

Your car seems very well built and I wish you luck with the sale. IMHO LT1 cars are cool, run well, and right now are extremely underappreciated.

camaronutt

Very very true. I concur.

That is a REALLY good price for a CLEAN low 11 sec car. I'll have way more in my car by the time I see a 11 sec timeslip.

Javier97Z28

Thanks guys.... offers! I'm open, don't be shy!

Javier97Z28

Bump again...
