    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    Fuse box was mounted and only a few runs made. Previous owner died during restoration. So, we had to finish making the runs and connections about 90% finished now.

    This is the wiring harness that is in the car. I didn't buy it. It was there from the previous owner and never fully installed. https://painlessperformance.com/product/26-circuit-direct-fit-1978-81-camaro-harness-part-no-20114/

    Possibly. I hadn't actually thought about it.

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    This car has to have an interesting back story on it. I do know for sure that it was purchased out of an estate when the owner died during restoration. The gentleman that I bought it from worked through the title process, got it running and then I bought it from him. It's sort of a mystery as...

    LOL...yeah, he threw those in when I got there tonight. $75 for the wheels and 2 old tires which, I thought was a really good deal. I need something factory in case I would ever apply for PA historical plates. So, I figured that I would get them now when they became available.

    Thank you. We are looking forward to the challenges. In a stroke of luck, I ended up buying the wheels pictured above from a gentleman that runs a restoration shop and has 2 second gen Camaro's in his building as we speak, one a beautiful '79 that her restored for his daughter. I was able...

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    No problem at all. I haven't seen a replacement windshield in years with the antenna actually in there. I just assumed it was older. This thing is truly a pile that we are working back in to a track car and possibly on the street at some point. No offense taken to anything on this thing. I...

    And now for your viewing pleasure.....one blown head gasket.....ready made to order.....LOL

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    Got it home and on the ground. First thing to deal with is the shifter. It is sort of nebulous and you really don't know exactly what gear you are in. But, it backed itself off the trailer under it's own power. One of the things that I find really interesting is that it appears to have the...

    Sort of a shame that there is the head gasket issues. Starts and runs well.

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    Absolutely. I'll make sure to keep up with the pictures as this progresses. Speaking of those front fenders, I'm scratching my head as to why they were replaced when the rest of the car is so rust free. I'm guessing it was hit up front at some point but I couldn't find anything specific to...

    Yes. But doesn't seem to be in the oil.

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    Made a deal this evening on a '79 Z28. The good, it's overall solid with just a couple of spots of rust on the driver's side floor, and a small area in the truck pan. Body seems to be otherwise decent. Interior is all there and fairly good. Glass is clean and clear with no cracks or damage...

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    Pulling this thread of mine back up after another frustrating Marketplace experience. Car popped up for sale on our local Marketplace last evening. Immediately messaged the seller. Had a quick conversation and set a time for 4:00 today to meet. So, I hooked up my new to me trailer, got money...
