I agree the 79 is the best year :-)
But not sure the wife would allow me to have that many. right now were dealing with one.

You have an amazing collection. Congratulations on your toys. I am starting to get into the second gens more and more. I have been working on my '79 Z for a while now and it is, by far, the most enjoyable car I've worked on. Being only 17, I still have a ways to go to catch up to your great collection but I really enjoy working on it. Love your cars again and hope you continue to stick with this great year of muscle.

Incredible! I just purchased a 1979 Z28 and I love it! I plan on owning it for a long time.
Again your collection is amazing and thats for what I can see. If you have 40 plus more cars garaged I want to know what you do for a living because I obviuosly made a wrong turn somewhere along the carreer path.

Hey 71zz430,
I've got the electric green 79 Z28 on the gallery. It was originally the light green I believe is in the front of your picture. Some day if I ever get the cash up I would like to repaint it the original color. If you dont mind I would like to see some more pictures of your light green one. Maybe you could email me a couple. (kmcl.roby@verizon.net)
Thanks
Kevin

...and I thought I liked the '79 a lot! Here is a true 79 Camaro fan.
I always think its the best year in terms of the models, available engines and interior, I just wish they were a bit faster from the factory. I'm always embarassed when I tell interested parties that the standard 350ci only produced 170 bhp, even when brand new!

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I totally agree with you on the horsepower situation. All the cars I have now are completely stock for the most part and not all that fast. When I had my new '79 Z back in 1979 it only ran 16.60's in the quarter, even with a 4-speed. I couldn't outrun my sister-in-laws '73 454 Caprice Coupe. I knew I had to do something. A set of hooker headers with true dual exhaust, all pollution controls removed, an aluminum intake and a Holley 780 vacuum secondary put me at a best of 15.09 in the quarter mile. I can remember it like it was yesterday. I was just a kid and rough on that car back then, I should have been shot for treating it so bad. I'm making up for it now however. I treat all of my cars like my kids. Thanks for looking, John.

Michigan must have been a popular place for '79 Z28's to find their first homes. One of my blue Z28s came from Muskegon.

Having that many cool cars in itself deserves a 10 rating. I own one and I'm having the time of my life with this car. Cruise nights are great and the drags are even better. If you are a regular at cruise nights they must have bets on which one you will be taking. anyways nice picture
