1979 Z/28 help needed ...

[JRSully]

I had a 77 Z28 350 4spd, fun car, handled very well as a I remember

I couldn't tell you much that you probably don't already know about factory. Ours has no miles on it and the body is all original, but way too many mods to be much help in the stock sense.
LS6 454 Turbo Action trans, Currie 9" etc.

Dave- LOVE your '79 Z/28!
The stance & tire/wheel package looks awesome.
Can you tell me the wheel/tire sizes for future reference?
The last of the Gen 2 Z/28s were what the rich kids had when I was in HS. (class of '84)
I had to make do with my 12-13 year old '69 Z/28 back then. LOL
These cars have really grown on my over the years and would love to build one in the 80's Street Machine Vibe, with plenty of Gold Moroso and vintage speed parts under hood. Centerline wheels or the Cragar chrome versions were more plentiful back then.
Does anyone remember the Car Craft magazine feature on a black '78 Z/28 built by GM as experimental with all aluminum 350 4-speed? Article was called "Running with the Devil"
Need to dig that one up- wonder if that car still exists??
Cheers

Thanks Jerry. We've had it since I was home on leave in 1993. The wheels are Centerline Auto Drags. 15 x3.5 w/ 1.625" bs in front and 15x8.5" w/ 4.875" bs in the rear. The tires are M/T Sportsman 28x7.5-15 on the front and the rear I can't recall off the top of my head, but the ones in the pic aren't anything special.
