Why...... I had an 80 Z28 back in the late 80's, slow and heavy, quite possibly the worse car I ever owned. Thats coming from a guy whos on his 4th Chevy truck

Never heard of one! Sounds painful though.

If the price is right and you like it then it sounds like a no brainer to me

I had a 1978 Forumla Firebird with a chevy 350 & four speed. It was an freakin' fun car to drive. It had plenty of power and it got up and went. I had a blast with the car, solid motor, it did like to eat the cheaper clutches after a several months and the interior - specifically the seat were shit. But on a fun scale it was an 7 or 8.

I would have another 78 in a heartbeat. After 1979 the engines dropped to the 305 including the transam when the shaker hoods went away the turbo became the new craze. I would not recommend an 80 or above firebird.

Hey man. Stick an old 350 in there and spray. Fun car just to beat on.
