This car is pretty common in base configurations for the Z-28 or SS versions but the RS version is pretty rare for that year so I used a Z-28 base because it also featured the vinyl top and red stripped tires that were required.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a title=\"Figure_2a by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/3925480305\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Figure 3\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3421\/3925480305_7e40385acd_m.jpg\" alt=\"Figure_2a\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maisto Z-28 Base model <\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Even in this form there were several modifications that had to be made to duplicate the original car. All the models are made with manual shift versions so the console was converted to the 3 speed automatic. The paint color was changed to the original GM Grecian Green and the Z stripes were replaced with RS stripes. The taillights, steering wheel and grill had to be modified to the Rally Sport package as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 This car is a real trophy winner and now the owner has a Mini-Me custom to display along with it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a title=\"Figure_4 by dougcole2000, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29474631@N04\/3926263564\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Figure 4\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3471\/3926263564_5c65c0e4d3.jpg\" alt=\"Figure_4\" width=\"500\" height=\"252\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Snap&quot; with his &quot;beauties&quot;<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Custom Order 0001 Every once-in-a-while I am asked to make a custom model for someone and if I have the time I try to do it for them.
