craig71188 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I am pleased to announce I now have one of the "cars of my youth". I was always into the Trans Am's and Herb Adams VSE modified cars (Fire-AM / Cheverra). I ran across this car and was able to pruchase it: http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123634&highlight=Cheverra The car was in a CL ad in Detroit and is still in C-Prepared autocross trim. Currently it has a Dart Heads built 385 and a T400 (they will stay). The car also has a "Hairy Glass" http://www.hairyglass.com/ one piece lightweight fiberglass nose and hood (soon to be "for sale"), but also included were all the original sheet metal pices as well as a fiberglass nose custome built for the car. All the original Stage 3 Cheverra suspension is there as are many other performance pieces that were tried on the car. Also included were many photos from the original build at C&C. I will be posting some pictures once we get everything unpacked and things get underway. I need to clear some space - and sell some stuff to raise some cash to continue at this point, I stretched my luck with the wife buying this one, though she seems more excited about it now. I am also in need of most of a tan interior for a 1979-1980 Z28, that is the one are where a lot of stuff is missing. I would also like to round up any old magazine articles on the car - please check you old magazines (those of you that are old enough to have 1979-1980 issues ) More news to follow...

craig71188 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Very cool! Street legal at all? Great to see something unique...good luck with the project! It is not in "street legal" trim right now, but yes, in the original C&C configuration it will be a street legal car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I realized it's been a while since I've updated anything on the car. I was rushing around getting karts prepped for autocross season. Due to getting them ready not a lot has happened, but a little progress: 1) 'glass nose & hood removed - the original radiator support has been cut to accomodate the lightweight nose - I did secure a pretty clean replacement core support 2) Original doors back on the car 3) Made a couple trips back to Michigan to get more boxes of parts - Pete located most all the interior parts and some of the original safety equipment (belts/window net) - though out of date - still neat to have 4) Located a dash for the car - not in the best shape, was the correct color, but had been painted black - in the process of stripping it and will probably repaint 5) MAY have found a 22 gallon fuel cell - waiting on pictures to confirm it is the correct style The biggest sticking point now is a lack of hardware (nuts/bolts/screws) - when the car was disassembled the parts were kept, but most of the fasteners have disappeared. I have a couple feelers out to guy here locally who are parting out 2nd gen cars to see if I can but a "bucket 'o bolts" to start putting things back on the car. If I get he hardware and make some progress the next couple of weekends, I'll work on getting some updated pics..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
