I have an opportunity to buy a 2 owner '81 Z28. The car is a 4 speed, 350. The current owner, who is a friend of mine, told me that the original motor was a 305 that was blown up years back. So it was replaced with a 350 horse 350. It has headers and performance exhaust. Mileage is around 100,000 on the car. He described it as being a really nice car. (He's not really a car guy like we are). It was repainted once. I have not even seen pictures yet. He said it's grey with orange and black stickers(?). Sounds like a strange color combo to me.

My question is this. What areas should I look for, for known problems. Like rust, worn out parts etc.

My plan would be to buy it, and possibly do a light resto-mod. Perhaps some engine upgrades, wheels/tires, suspension if needed and brakes.

My brother had an '81 years ago, but I can't remember too much about it. Do they have 4 wheel disk brakes?

Lastly, the 5th digit of the VIN would be a P for Z28 right?
