It's weird how the second and third dates or older to newer but the milage had a lot more when it was newer? Maybe a typo or glich in the system or something. That is cool to know!

I am the 3rd owner of my car. The car was purchased in a dealership in CA. The second owner that bought the car was a good friend to the original owner, so all the battle scars and whatnot I got to know the stories. The front end was smashed because the dumbass was eating a hamburger and was paying more attention to the hamburger then the truck in front of him. Wham there goes the front end and windshield. Second battle wound was the original owner thinking he was the drift king while going across a bridge and lost control and hit a guard rail. And the nice large discolored stain on the back quarter was where the original owner and his old lady got into a fight at his house and as he ran out the front door and jumped in the car to get away she was loading up with eggs. He sped off while she pelted the car with eggs lol.

So my car didn't start out with a good life to begin with then the second owner bought the car all screwed up thinking he would fix it up. It became a garage ornament for over 15 years until I came along at the tender age of 14 and just HAD to have a black Z28.
The car had only 68k on it which was shocking since the condition it was in. I made sure to verify the correct millage with the second guy who seemed like a pretty good guy.

Car has come a long ways since that first drive home! I wasn't even old enough to drive my own car home my dad drove it home for me. I bought the car with every dime I had saved by working my ass off in the shop!
Took me from 14 until about a onth before I got my license to get the car road worthy. I never did drive the car stock As soon as I got it home I tore the front end off of it and installed the hood, bumper and windshield I worked my butt of and scrimped and saved until I had enough to do a complete top end build on the 305.

My first drive (legally alone), High School dates,Graduation night, daily driven all thru high school and college as well as so many great nights I can't even begin to remember them all. Now it has 122k

When we got the car home my dad shook his head and kept asking me "you sure about this son? sure you dont want something else that will be a better base to start with? "

Now just this year after riding in the 10 second car this has become he looked at me and said " I didn't think you would ever make this car like this! You did a really nice job!" that made it all worth it! haha

Looking back now I can see that this doesn't even really have a price tag on it. Very Happy

Mine has all kinds of errors on it.

I would say that one is a typo.

my GTA came from Hawaii.

Original Florida car here. Not as cool as Hawaii, but still a long way to go.

BTW, Tony, any idea why someone decided to ship it back over here? Doesn't seem like it would be very cost-effective.

My V6 is originally a California car. It's been at least as far east as Michigan and Tennessee. I only know this because I drove it there Very Happy

Chased a snowstorm all the way to Tennessee for Christmas in 1998.

I have no idea where mine came from. don't have carfax and don't want to spend the money on it just to find out. But it has a california paint job so I assume it was born there. I bought it from a guy in olympia that said he was selling it for his girl friend. he advertised it on craigslist as a V6, but its got a 305 in it so i guess its not a V6 car, 8 plug wires is another clue. it was pretty well trashed inside when I got it, guy said GF used the back seat as a trash can and the stains and damage to the carpet etc seem to confirm this. but I really don't know where it was first sold.

Mine is from Texas, then off to Cali, then ending up here in Washington. Only been in Washington for a few years. Was used a lot, sold and auctioned.

My car came from a dealership about 4 miles from where I live. It was then registered about 4 miles from there. It's never "lived" anywhere but here, however I've driven it to Socal, through Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah and up into Canadia.
