I got rid of it shortly after to get a new 370Z but to that point it was by far the most reliable car I owned. (All the cars I owned were sport cars). That's one of the reasons I bought the new one.
"Just about fell apart" - descriptive lol. A "5.7L V8 GM" could be any 346ci engine they've made in a long time, too. Might want to elaborate, because for all I know, we're talking about a 1984 Corvette, with one of the worst SBC's ever incarnated...

Pontiac TransAm WS6.
Well let's start with front bumper and work the way back. I know I'll forget a lot of it.
The engine fan broke, radiator started leaking, alternator went bad, master cylinder, doors wouldn't close properly, windows wouldn't roll up, fuel pump.

What year?

Soooo...pretty much many things...EXCEPT the motor went bad.

So how does that relate to your motor almost falling apart and the 350Z sounding "like new" at 80K miles?
