Z28 or not?

[chuck13]

Yes, but it would still be like watching paint dry as they were both slower than a one legged cat burying terds on a frozen pond.

Well yeah time marches on.Did you know the Fiero was originally intended as a replacement for the Corvette?Imagine that.The 60 degree 2.8 V6 was touted as the "new small block Chevy engine".Imagine THAT!The late 70's and early 80's were a sad time in US auto history.

[email protected] is where I got my build sheet.No not build sheet,vehicle invoice.It confirmed my car is a 'very valuable' and rare genuwine Z28,(yeah i'm being sarcastic).

Why would anyone fudge a 78 Z?Are they really that scarce?That being said it sure does look like someone took a punch to the trim tag.You can still get a copy of the build sheet,or I did for my 81 anyway.$50 bucks I think?

What? Where did you get the copy of the build sheet? I would love to get one of my 79 z28.

I haven't seen any place that can supply you with a replacement copy of the build sheet. However, GM can supply copies of the original dealer's invoice for many cars for a fee.

So if i go to a GM dealer near me, i can get a copy of the original invoice for a fee? Even if the car was built in the US and im in Canada?

Contact GM Heritage in Oshawa. I got my GM importation package from them, cost me 48$ at the time, Nov. 2005. GM kept many of the importation records

Number to call is 888-467-6853, or 905-440-7636 Mon-fri EST.

Email was - [email protected]

Or at least this was the information back in 2005. Good luck.

It might be entertaining from a curiosity standpoint. It's just a shame what had to be done to the later 2nd gens and other cars at that time. And now we have four- and six-cylinder cars that would smoke any factory 2nd gen.

thats why a bbc fits in.lol.problem solved.

I don't care how quick today's appliances are I'd rather be driving a muscle machine that requires some ability.

The package includes everything on the car and somewhat of a buildsheet with all the DNA on the vehicle! I cant wait to get that in the mail! Hopefully other members read this. Thank you G72Z!!

Most welcome, glad you got the info and have your package coming to you, boy, did the prices go up Eh!!

Here's one sheet I got with my package, shows only 8% (178) of the total Z28 production (2,575) units in 1972 came to Canada.

But, looks like the Canadians favored the M22 trans as it made up almost 1/3 rd of the total Z sales, guess we didn't mind the gear noise LOL.

I got that documentation back in 2015. Learned a few things about my '74z28 that I didn't know before. Believe me, if you have any GM car either built in Canada or directly imported into Canada the documentation is well worth the money and time to secure that information.
