Z28 Owner in Norcal

Are there any 5th Gen Z28 owners in Northern California on this forum?
I am in the market for a Z28, no cars for sale in my area for a long time. I've never seen one in person before, would like to check one out in person, if possible.

Thanks

Trust us.

You can buy it without seeing it and you won't regret it. Its such an amazing car and its incredibly rare to see one. They draw attention wherever you go, and they drive amazing.

It won't be nearly as plush. It will sound more pissed off. The 1LE is certainly a better daily/cruiser car, but the Z commands more respect.

LOL. I was just about to say the same. I bought mine without test driving it. Fell in love with it since 2014. I'm still in love with it every time I take her out for a ride. It's a rare one for sure. I've only seen 2 other Z/28 here in Houston area.

John,

Just be warned. You're going to have a lot of ladies asking for a ride.

My old encounter:
"This is no joke. Three times I’ve been approached by heavy metal listening, smokers raspy voice, little too much parting older looking ladies telling me how nice my Z/28 is and that they had one back in the 70’s.

One asked me for a ride, I just politely told them my mom was calling me so I had to go….

Damn, if I only knew what kind of women this car would attract. I should have gotten a Porsche 911…. Not! Still love my Z. Heavy metal listening older ladies still need loving."

Seems like every Z/28 that makes it to the Bay area gets stolen! It is the black hole of Z/28 deaths. Make sure you have it well guarded/safe at all times!
