The seats in the second dark blue 81 are original to those cars. They were the upgraded Berlenetta style and you could get them with cloth in the middle like that one or full vinyl. The upgraded interiors also have different package trays and carpet like material on the bottom half of the door panels as well as optional stripes on the door panels and seats to match the outside graphics.
The first z has been restored in many places and it's obvious. The second dark blue z has been restored as well (not as much restoration as the first z though), as the rear end shocks make the car sit higher in the rear than from the factory and the third 79 is a beautiful original z.
That 79 is a beautiful car! And yours is as well! I agree 100% that the interior of the dark blue car was terrible! I much prefer the 4 speed cars over the automatic and I've never liked T-top cars. For both aesthetic and structural reasons. Although I love all the second gen Z/28's my favorite years in order would be 70, 74, 71-73, 77 and 78. I didn't like the interior changes 79-81. I also preferred the hood and fender vents of the 78-79 over 80-81. 74 and 77 were very unique although very similar in appearance, the 74 and earlier rear window was so much better looking I have a soft spot for the 77 because I owned a beautiful original Orange 4 speed car with a blk/tan interior that was just gorgeous. I should have never let it get away! I bought that car for $3000 in 1993. I owned a White 78 4 speed car that had been rode hard and put away wet. That car ended up a street racer with @ 500hp 350 and the 264:1 wide ratio Super T-10 and 3.73:1 rear. It launches like it had 4.56 rear and still had decent street manners with the high rpm engine and the transmission and gearing combo. It was a bit of a legend in my town in its day. I've owned others too....but those 2 were the most fun and best bargains. And had a lot of influence on my tastes in these cars.
@@Bigmacland-zl3wo i bought a new 1981 Camaro base model 305 v8 4spd. Put my own stereo in it. Worked in a gm plant 80-82 while attending community college. My gm discount was 18 percent off. Out the door 8600 with tax. Z28 was over 10k. Corvette was 14-15k

Thanks to the good lord I grew up driving these to school as used cars.

Good news l just finished restoring my 80 Z28 too sell l like those prices
Very nice! Like seeing the prices finally get to a level that shows appreciation for the 2nd generation Z28.

Thanks for you comments, you obviously know your stuff. Keep watching

Wow...
These were 10-12k new
I think a little less than that. Aluminum wheels, air conditioning, T-Tops and custom interior were the expensive options.
