I own one vin ends in 115082 BUT who knows what number car it is since the plaque was missing when I purchased it...

Plus the vin and car numbers are not in any way related..

Car Number 387 had a vin of 115041
Car Number 532 had a vin of 115061
Car Number 406 had a vin of 115102

I have always liked the 35th... and most of my fellow club members knew I was looking for one for years so when one came available 3 years ago The seller heard about my desire to buy one and he called me.. The car was mine the next day...


IF ANYONE has a Plaque (no matter what freaken number) I'll gladly BUY IT and pay shipping

Do you guys with the 35th anniversary edition leave them stock or do you have a few mods?

Mine is all stock except for a light window tint. Still has original hoses and I have the original tires just not on the car. I did have to replace my seat overs as the leather started to crack. Other than that pretty much rock stock original

Mine is modded, I have a 383ci stroker and upgraded the 700R4 since it blew up after two weeks of being behind the stroker(snapped the input shaft in half).

I still have all the stock parts down the the white wheels and engine in storage just in case I need to go back to stock.

Mine is stock also... I am thinking of tinting the windows, putting on muffler eliminators with black LT-1 tips, and black C6 Z-06 wheels. All of my suspension components are polished as well as most aluminum thats under the hood. I will be polishing the rear end and half shafts this winter as well as powdercoating my TPI set up, brackets and misc parts to a nice maroon color that matches the badges that are located on the sides of the hood behind our front wheels.

Extensive Mods on a 35th

Saw one FS in autotrader with a huge wing on the back.
What's the point of having a 35th?

16 of the part #'s that are unique to the 35th Anniv are still available through them. The other half is not.

Update: gmpartshouse had many of those parts available. The are no longer in business as gmpartshouse. A new company was formed and it is known as Cultrag Performance. They are authorized to sell GM parts.

35th cars are awesome!

Let's see some interior pics, since they are so unique. Are interior colors all the same?

I would like to see the dash plaque you're talking about.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these in person.

Welcome to the world of Classic Cars Philspan... Anytime you purchase an older classic (or any older car), you need to be prepared to spend some Piasters. Most people do not sell their car because it's running perfect. Due to lack of maintenance, the car will slowly deteriorate till something major comes up. Then they sell to get something else. Sometimes you can purchase an extended warranty from the dealer to cover these things. But most times you can't afford the extra load so you decline, and then your left having to dig deeper than expected. When I buy something like our C4's, I expect some additional surprises to pop up. I've had to spend a few pesos on mine just to bring her back from the PO's chewing gum fixes. Part of the fun though... is picking up a classic that needs some TLC. It makes you feel better when you bring a nice car back from the brink... and the reason it's back is because you and your pocket full of shekels brought her back. Currently mine is down so that I can do some repairs on the digital dash. I started by trying to go through the front to change my bulbs. But unfortunately I've had to pull it ALL the way out and it's setting on my desk till my kit comes from Batee.

Drive On!!...

Fast Freddie
