History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!
1983 Z28 T-Tops 23,000 Miles only.. Needs paint everything else seems fine so far. 3:73 rear end 5 speed manual still got the 305 interior is nice also.. I put those cup holders there it didn’t come like that
You don't realize how much you use cupholders until you don't have them. My '88 GTA has a stock interior without them, so I find myself holding a coke or coffee in my hand quite often. Funny but back in the '80s when cupholders first started appearing, I was the grumpy, "Just drive the damn car" guy.
You may or may not be aware, and if you're not, then I hate to be a killjoy, but that's not the original speedometer, so its 23,000 miles would have to be considered suspect.
The speedo might've been swapped when the car was new, in which case the mileage might be close to accurate, or it might've been added any time during its history, leaving no clue as to its actual mileage. Either way, it's doubtful that it was set to the car's mileage at that time... but maybe.
Hopefully, that was disclosed, although, the seller might not have known either. Sorry.
Looks like you're having fun with it though, and that's the important thing.

Very true, when I first got the car I was saying the same thing but after a while it gets annoying having to worry about making sure you don’t spill your drink in the car 😆

" looks like it is the early version of the speedo with pre-85 style needle.
