My Mother's new z28

Hey all, this is my mom's newest camaro so far, a 1986 z28. It's her 3rd, and by far the sharpest and nicest of them yet. She picked it up a month ago roughly, all stock and at 72,000 miles. It could use a tune up, and i need to look into getting the hatch motor operational, but other than that I think the pictures speak for themselves! Lemme know what you guys think! I'm more excited about her camaro than she is!

My mom used to have a '79 Camaro, then she had a '85 Firebird. I'm trying to talk her into getting another.

Beautiful car. I really miss my old '83 Z28, looked very similar to that but was a dark gray upper with the lower gold.

i fixed the hatch motor for her yesterday before I left for NC.

The previous owner decided to leave the whole assembly unbolted from the car, so everything rattled like nobody's business.

Thanks for the comments, anyone else?
