Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 tribute is the perfect balance of
vintage style and all the right upgrades. With a performance-built
355ci V8, six-speed transmission, upgraded suspension, and stunning
paint, it's built to be the classic that you can enjoy the drive
and arrive in style.
That blue really grabs your attention, doesn't it? It looks almost
like the factory Mulsanne Blue, except a shade richer and a slick
shine that comes from a modern clearcoat. The color fits in with
the Camaro crowd, and yet, it remains distinct at the same time.
But more than just bold paintwork, the iconic Z/28 dual white
stripes complete this attractive package. Plus, they help accent
the large cowl induction hood and spoiler that runs end-to-end over
the rear. Z/28 badging on every side adds to this aggressive
appearance. There's not a lot of shiny trim on a 2nd generation
Camaro, but the bright parts like the bumpers, window trim, and
even the rings around the taillights are compete for a true classic
American muscle car appearance. And of course, everyone takes
notice of the Rocker wheels staggered 18/20 inches front/rear. They
give an added aggressive touch to the already intimidating
profile.
You can instantly tell this Camaro wants to get down to business
the moment you open the door. Black bucket seats coordinate nicely
with the carpeting, door panels, and dash. While this looks very
purpose-built for driving, there's plenty of comfort with a modern
AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input, power steering, and upgraded center
console with cup holders. But when you sit behind the grippy NK4
steering wheel, you'll instantly feel a tingle of excitement. The
full set of Dakota Digital instruments have an aggressive blue
glow, and the Hurst shifter has a knob that matches the exterior
color scheme. These tell your senses that there's something special
under the hood even before you turn the key and hear it roar.
This was the personal project of a master mechanic, and there is
less than 6,000 miles on the whole build - that's why the engine
bay looks fresh, clean, and seriously powerful. Chevy's bold orange
is an instant standout in-between the dark fender walls. But more
than just look like a monster motor, you're looking at a true
performer. It's a 355 cubic-inch V8 dialed up to an 11:1
compression ratio. It has been fortified with Dart Sportsman heads,
bronze guides, and a competition valve job. Plus, it has go-fast
goodies like a Lunati Voodoo hydraulic roller cam, Petronix Flame
Thrower ignition, Weiand Team G single plane intake, and a Holley
Ultra HP 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor. There's a nice set of
Hedman long tube headers that feed the rumbling Flowmaster dual
exhaust. It all says cool thanks to Griffin aluminum radiator with
Derale cooling fans. Making sure you get the most out of this
enhanced V8 is the T56 six-speed manual transmission that includes
a Ram flywheel and Centerforce dual friction LT1-style clutch for
truly confident power shifting. And while all of these upgrades
already have you hooked, don't forget to check out the
undercarriage photos. Not only is this more proof of how clean and
fresh this build is, but also you'll see plenty of great upgrades.
This includes QA1 coilovers in front, McGaughy drop spindles, front
disc brakes, newer bushings, thick Hotchkis sway bars, and the
modern grip of Goodyear Eagle Sport tires.
We bet this one has you saying "Wow" by now. A mechanic's passion
project with serious power and all the right supporting components
- yes, this is one special custom Camaro. And it can all be yours
if you're quick enough to grab it. Call today!!!
