That's a very good price.

Heck you could part it out and make $$$.

That was my thought, I figured I couldn't get too badly hurt on it as long as it was complete and the motor ran at all!

Good work, I purchased mine from ebay also, had to do alot of mechanical work, Brake master, secondary throttle linkage ect, Transmission,
The guy is a lease manager at a chevy dealership who I bought it from he had the shop pull the engine and replace all the gaskets and seals (nice originals stuff) they noticed main bearing wear when they pulled the oil pan they went on and put in new mains.Them pulling the engine makes it much nicer for me as all the stuff was broken loose about 2 years ago.(Fidanza, trans, plenum, headers, IH housings
I paid quite a bit less for mine but it needd alot of stuff. All done now on to performance mods.

My favorite color combination red/saddle.....I got red/red 1991 on Ebay. It does not look very neglected

Are those stock calipers?

Very nice

Correct, C5 calipers, powdercoated. Basically C5 ZO6 calipers.

Do you change out the rotor when using C5 calipers? What exactly do you need to change when installing C5 calipers on a 91Z? Do the C5 calipers offer better braking?

Different rotor and different mounting for the caliper (adapter bracket needed). There's a slight performance advantage due to thicker rotors allowing for less fade, but it's negligible on the street. For street driving, the stock setup is more than adequate. I did it for looks, to be honest.
