I'm curious about the wheels you've got on that WS6, specifically the size of the back ones. Fronts look like the standard 17" X 9" with 275/40/17, but the backs appear larger. I put a set of AR...

Nice looking car, and I like what you are doing with it (fixing the AC, LED backups, replacing the backseat). It's also great that the former owner did not do anything drastic (ie. that cannot be...

Very cool, and rare indeed. IIRC, those are not the original wheels, did you get those along with the car, or did the former owner change them for some reason?

Also, the rear end looks a little...

Cool car, cool dad!

My dad had a 1978 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country wagon with the fake wood sides. Haven't seen one of those running around for a couple decades.

Just looked on GM.com, and the 2018 Yukon XL is there, large as life. Not sure where you got the idea the Yukon was only available for model year 2018 in the short wheelbase.

You've got a very rare car there. I did a little looking on LS1tech.com, and here's what I found:

LS1 WS6 Formulas:

39 in 1998, 68 in 1999, 91 in 2000

39 + 68 + 91 = 198.

they made...

You say it is a Z28, and then mention SLP equipment. SLP up fitted the SS, not the Z28. Is it possible the car is actually an SS?

If it is an SS, then the SLP equipment will be listed on the...

My first car (1973 Toyota Corona Mk II station wagon), no.

My third (1987 Camaro IROC-Z), yes, definitely I would buy it back. I still miss it, and should never have sold it.

Nice cars, although I understand parts for the G8 may be hard to find, due to the Holden platform, and the low sales figures.
