Ah, the days of squeezing an enormous 200 horsepower out of a 5 liter turbo v8.
Pretty brutal performance - yet, this is a very nice example and will be worth some $$ for sure.
'81 Z28 was my first car haha.. loved it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
would be fun to see it on BAT
40's sounds low, to me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
While it's not ultra low mileage, the provenance is solid.
This will sound like I'm joking, but if you have pics of your mom beside the car from the first few years that would totally help sell the story. Again, not joking.

Speedog, any reason this can't be your mid life crisis car? Honestly, I wouldn't be letting that car out of the family.

I like neat cars.
I've moved on from needing some car in my life, a couple of my brothers already have their midlife crisis vehicles.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Will fuck off, again.
If it was the bigblock car it would get the high dollars I think, but being the 4.9 Turbo I think it would not be that high. Definitely a nice low mileage barn find though and still worth some legit coin! I would buy this just for memories if I had extra cash sitting around.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Great thread, thanks for sharing this Speedog, what an incredibly awesome car. I hope whoever gets it appreciates what it is.
IF I had the disposable income, I would be trying to make a deal.
The first race car I built was an '81 Camaro. I loved that car and would probably still have it today if it didn't get stolen.
If you MUST sell it, yeah, BAT is the place, but if I was in your shoes, I would be keeping it. It is worth more to you than to anyone else in the world.

Girlfriends cost money
Turbos cost money
Both make whining noises
Make the smart choice.

Were the automatic trannies back in those days modified or tuned (or whatever the appropriate term is) to allow the turbo to spool up under more open throttle?

Stupidity is a disease we all have, it's like a form of brain herpes. Outbreaks will occasionally occur.
I'll be at my parent's place in High River for most of this upcoming Saturday, the car will be available for viewing and driving for interested buyers. PM me.
Will fuck off, again.
