Possibly, but I would really prefer 4 speed.

Through the help of a new friend on the NastyZ28 site and a lot of work, I have a Vintage Vehicle Services report from GM of Canada on the exact car I'm looking for with T-Tops, N90 wheels and no AC! I started a new thread in the Supercar/Musclecar Discussion thread about how I might possibly track it down with the VIN in hopes of purchasing it some day. Still have a long way to go but its a start.

After several years of searching I've finally come to the realization I'm not going to find a blue 81 Z with the Canadian only 350 4 speed with the deluxe silver vinyl interior since every car I've found in Canada has cloth seats. I've been chasing a lead on one with deluxe silver cloth for a few years but can't find the owner so I finally caved last week and bought one with blue deluxe cloth interior, NO AC, and T-tops. I wasn't really looking for a project but couldn't pass on a rock solid #'s matching car from British Columbia with the original smog system and catalytic converter. Since the owner lives ten miles from the border he's agreed to bring the car to the states for me once I get the customs paperwork taken care of so my son and I are going to fly up and drive it home and have a father son project restoring it how I would have ordered one back in the day with deluxe silver interior and N90 aluminum wheel. I'll attempt to attach a few pics

Quick update, since the border has been closed due the COVID outbreak we haven't been able to go up and get the Z28 I bought last winter. I offered to meet the owner at the border to import the car but customs won't let us since we're not considered "essential". Out of desperation the previous owner finally found a commercial shipper that can bring it to the border for us for $200. I bought plane tickets today for my son and I to fly up on 8/6/20 and drive it home over the weekend. The car will never be worth anything but the memories will be priceless!

Strange, just saw this the other night and thought of you and this thread. Not a 350 4-speed but definitely looks to be bright blue with silver vinyl car. Just a resto and a tranny/engine swap away from checking the boxes lol.

Thanks for the link Tracker1, unfortunately for me I don't have the skills to handle a project like that. I've been working on my Mom's 81 Z28 quite bit lately and it still has the original computer and electronic distributor in it so I'm really looking forward to getting this car home and being able to work on it without plugging it in to the scan tool.

I owned a 78 Z-28 Camaro. Bought brand new. Fun car with 4 speed 3.73 gears. Back in the day nice looking car but a real low powered vehicle. 170 horsepower i believe. Wish i would of invested that money into buying two used clean 69 Z-28 Camaro's back then. I was a 22 year guy who just wanted a brand new car then.

The one I know of that made it to the US is about perfect option wise, a bright blue 4 speed with T-tops, N90 wheels, custom silver interior and no AC. But, it sold about a year before I even knew these things existed.
No A/C is not an issue as all 350ci 4 speed cars did not have that as an available option.
