Please tell me that those vids are as old as the cars themselves, with the way those things are set-up (stance, paint schemes, tires etc...)
Talk about back in time....lolSteve Martin

gotta love another country's culture embracing ours. It may be a bit dated, but at least they are saying what we did then is cool to them now.

I like the fan shroud delete mod. How that thing stays cool, I don't know.

Tony, those videos show that '79's get plenty of love. It's the '77's that don't get any love whatsoever. At least mine gets a tiny bit of affection from me.

I used to have a '79 Z28 with a factory 4-speed.
Wish I had never sold it.

Giving 2nd gen owners everywhere a bad name, lol. Man, the tires on that 2nd one are like 25 years old. Like the paint & stance on the 1st one.
