If you're a fan of style, speed and swagger, you simply can't go
wrong with the legendary Camaro. One of the cars that practically
defined the golden age of Detroit, Chevy's beloved panther has
become some of the best-selling muscle of all time. Not
surprisingly, demand for these cornerstone classics continues to be
strong. And in the second half of 2015, we've already shipped NINE
awesome Camaros to nine very satisfied owners. The beneficiary of a
detailed rotisserie restoration, this real-deal X77 Z/28 is
probably one of the coolest F1s we've ever offered. With a buff
drivetrain, solid sheetmetal and exceptionally rare Azure Turquoise
on Black aesthetics, it's the perfect turn-key muscle car for
anyone who enjoys the hobby to its fullest. And if you're looking
for an impressive set of wheels that'll roll straight out of the
showroom and right in to the fast lane, it's your next classic!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Fresh out of a thorough rotisserie restoration, this super cool
F-Body is a perfect blend of good craftsmanship and great attention
to detail. With solid panels present and accounted for, the car was
carefully straightened into better-than-new condition. Once that
comprehensive metalwork transitioned from the garage bay to the
paint booth, a classic '60s profile was re-sprayed in correct Azure
Turquoise 2-stage. When that paint dried, it was accented with
black Rally Stripes, sealed in glossy clear and buffed to a clean
shine. And today, officially unleashed as the epitome of old school
American style, this exclusive Z/28 is one seriously cool head
turner that can drop jaws just as easily as it can win
trophies.
With its timeless proportions and modernist panels, the first
generation Camaro is an inherently attractive design. At the front
of this clean F1, a silver-trimmed grille anchors a two-tone "Z/28"
emblem between bright halogen headlights, a mirrored bumper,
'69-exclusive parking lamps and a D80 chin spoiler. Above that
grille, a Camaro-branded header leads the eye past a correct hood
to like-new glass that's seated in straight stainless frames. At
the sides of that glass, a small mirror combines with traditional
door handles, fresh rocker trim, simple "Camaro" emblems and bright
"Z/28" badges to detail the car's sculpted fuselage. And at the
back of that fuselage, a Camaro-branded decklid hangs a second D80
spoiler above a fourth "Z/28" emblem, '69-exclusive taillights and
a second mirrored bumper.
ENGINE
Under this coupe's Kansas-flat hood you'll find a 302 cubic inch,
era-correct small block that fronts a familiar 3970010 casting
number with a correct "DZ" assembly stamp. Straight from the
factory, Chevrolet's high performance SCCA Mustang slayer utilized
high-flow, rectangular-port heads, a forged steel crank, forged
steel rods and forged aluminum pistons to twist stout 11 to 1
compression into more than 350 horsepower! At the top of the
red-hot mill, a chrome, open-element air cleaner swirls wind in to
a correct Winters intake thanks to a familiar Holley carburetor. At
the sides of that intake, authentic 'double hump' heads hang finned
valve covers over shielded exhaust manifolds. And at the back of
those heads, a mandatory points distributor shoots spark through
fresh Packard TV R Suppression cables. When fired, the infamous 302
snarls and barks like a real competition piece. Its ancillary
components are top-notch in every way, with fresh GM hoses, a
refinished brake booster and a reproduction Delco Energizer
accompanying a rebuilt alternator and era-correct smog equipment.
And an evenly sprayed combination of Chevy Orange skin and Satin
Black framing is capped by full hood insulation.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Back in 1969, the only transmission you could get with your Z/28
was a tough Muncie 4-speed, and that's exactly what lives behind
this car's mean small block. Naturally, that stalwart gear slinger
centers a correct 3925660 casting number between a Muncie (P) M21
(B) assembled on May (E) 5th (05), 1969 (9) build stamp and
matching partial VIN. There's a correct 12-bolt rear end, which
rides in a fully rebuilt and correctly tagged suspension that
centers factory power steering between 4-piston, Corvette-style
brakes. That suspension is dissected by a beefy, true-dual exhaust
system, which is fitted with a correct, transversely mounted
muffler. That exhaust system is framed by solid floors, which are
layered in pristine, Satin Black paint. Those floors roll on
15-inch Rally Wheels, which spin modern 215/65 BF Goodrich Radial
T/As around dent-free trim rings and correct turbine center caps.
And that chassis has, like the car's engine bay, been restored to
fully sorted, road-ready condition.
INTERIOR
The Standard Black interior hiding behind this Camaro's small doors
illustrates the true, no frills intentions of Chevrolet's original
Z/28. Its pleated vinyl seats look and feel fantastic. In front of
those seats, a monochromatic dash, which exhibits no signs of
cracking or peeling, hangs a correct AC tachometer beside a correct
Delco AM radio. At the base of that dash, a wood-trimmed console
founds a chrome Hurst shifter behind factory 4-pack accessory
gauges. That seat, dash and console trifecta is completely framed
by a tight headliner, shielded carpet and correct Standard door
panels. In front of the driver, a simple steering wheel laps a
bright blue bowtie. And behind the passengers, the car's solid
trunk hides a full-size spare tire beneath a fresh decklid
decal.
