My bet is it's an '83... I think the digital gauge clusters only came in '83 in the NA models...

We have different years on that Z, it looks like. I see '82-'83 taillights, and bumpers. Of course the '83 digital dash. But it is a slick top. Which are more rare after '81. Also there isn't any trim anywhere on the doors, or rest of the body. It kind of looks like they put the bumpers on there. But if so, I can't figure out, why they put the digital dash from the '83 if it is a '79. Hmm...quite strange.

What does the tags say under the hood, and in the door jams? Also what does the title say? Anyway still got a good deal on it. Funny I paid $400 for my '82 slick top, a little over 2 years ago. And almost the same shape. lol All in all, good luck on your Z project.
