I know third gens get a bad rap but I was looking at selling my 89 RS 305 700r4 and buying an 87 Z28 that I found. My Car has a rebuilt 305 in it 3 years ago along with rebuilt trans. Also has 3.73 rear. Not much done to it other than exhaust. However it needs paint and a bit of body work including floor pans. What I know so far about the 87 Z28 is 5 speed, assuming 305 unless it was swapped out, and the paint is in great condition. Plans would be to put a 350 in it eventually. Is it worth it? I think it would be cheaper to fix the 87 than do everything to my 89.
