$700 Ls1

[philsblwnz28]

I just bought this 98 z28 w/ 146k for $700.00. I called the girl up and she said I need to bring upper and lower radiator hoses so I can drive it home. I got there and they were not even leaking, the waterpump was shot to hell. So I gave her the cash and got a bill of sale and the title and hauled azz. I stopped at the walgreens up the block and got 10 gallons of water so i could get it home.....Well, I got it home and put a waterpump on it and changed the plugs to the TR55. She runs like a beauty....I took her down the track and went 13.9@101mph......Totally stock with the cats and manifolds still on it.....Well tell me what you think about it and what should my first mods be????? Thanks in advance.....Phil

[philsblwnz28]

[thunderstruck507]

holy hell...I paid over twice that for an engine and transmission and it turned out the cam was bad in the engine

[philsblwnz28]

I didnt even have the $700, I had to scarf it up......But I know what you mean though....My best 60ft is a 2.1 is that pretty good?

[ubnsmkd03]

[philsblwnz28]

She was like 25 years old, so I dont know what she was thinking when she was asking 500 for it.....I am pretty happy though......

I know, I thought I was getting a good deal on my motor and tranny for $1400. Turned almost every part in the motor was effed!

$700 for a Ls1 F-body with a bad water pump... I'll take two!

[ZexGX]

I'll take it off your hands for $900.

J/K. Awesome find!
