Vehicle Description
To automotive purists, there's nothing better than a crisp, fully
documented muscle car that's been lovingly restored to factory
specifications. For some, it's about preserving history. For
others, it's about the unique feel of classic motoring and escapism
to simpler times. Decorated by AACA, and certified by Jerry
MacNeish of Camaro Hi-Performance, this concours-restored,
numbers-matching Z/28 is about as pure as collector cars come.
Documented with an original Protect-O-Plate and an official NCRS
Shipping Data Report, it's believed to be 1 of only 38 red on red
Z/28s produced for the 1969 model year. And if you're a discerning
collector car enthusiast who's looking for nothing but the best,
it's a Garnet Red gem with unmatched polish!
RESTORATION AND APPEARANCE
Part luck and part skill, "best" is an interesting phenomenon. This
incredible Camaro was lucky enough to be a rare car from the
factory, but that legacy wouldn't be so endearing unless it was
combined with skilled rehabilitation. Take a close look at our
high-resolution photos and you'll see the intrinsic quality in the
car's detailed, concours restoration. With solid panels present and
accounted for, this Chevy's classic '60s profile was carefully
straightened into better-than-new condition. Once that
comprehensive metalwork transitioned from the garage bay to the
paint booth, correct Garnet Red 2-stage was accented with Tuxedo
Black Rally Stripes and sealed in glossy clear. And today, this
exclusive Z/28 rolls as a thoroughbred head turner that drops jaws
just as easily as it wins trophies!
Restored with Chevrolet's popular Rally Sport Package, this
timeless coupe is much more stylish than typical, run-of-the-mill
Camaros. At the front of its body, a "Z/28" branded grille hides
halogen headlights behind a polished bumper, a correct chin spoiler
and 1969-exclusive parking lamps. Above that grille, a
Camaro-branded header leads the eye to a correct Cowl Induction
Hood, which anchors bright "302" scripts in front of clean glass
that's seated in straight stainless frames. Those frames reflect
traditional drip rails, traditional door handles and a correct
mirror. Opposite those rails, correct, black-trimmed rockers found
bright wheel lips between ornate fender emblems, optional quarter
gills and small marker lamps. And at the back of the car, a "Z/28"
branded valance hangs Rally Sport taillights between a guarded
bumper, Rally Sport reverse lamps and a Camaro-branded decklid
that's finished with a correct D80 spoiler.
POWER
Hoist the car's era-defining hood and you'll find a 302 cubic inch
Chevrolet small block that, according to Jerry MacNeish of Camaro
Hi-Performance, is the car's original, numbers-matching engine.
Straight from the General this exclusive package 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
dressed and detailed mill, a black, single-snorkel 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. At the back of those heads, a mandatory points
distributor shoots spark through fresh Packard TV R Suppression
cables. Naturally, the raucous V8's ancillary components are
on-point, with fresh GM hoses, a Delco-topped battery and a fresh
Delco Moraine brake booster accompanying a correct 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.
POWER MANAGEMENT
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 Camaro's mean small block. That date-correct Rock Crusher
spins power to an original, MacNeish-certified 12-bolt that paired
a posi-traction differential with big, 3.73 gears straight from the
factory. That drivetrain rides a fully rebuilt and correctly tagged
suspension that's lead by correct power steering. A correct power
front disc and rear drum brake system makes excellent use of
4-piston, Corvette-style calipers. That chassis is dissected by a
beefy, true-dual exhaust system, which follows a correct,
transversely mounted muffler with polished stainless tips.
Everything rolls on 15-inch Rally Wheels, which spin E70-15
Goodyear Wide Tread GTs around dent-free trim rings and correct
turbine center caps. And the bottom of this Camaro has, like the
car's engine bay, been carefully restored to pristine, show-ready
condition.
INTERIOR
Medium Red vinyl is certainly an interesting choice for a Garnet
Red pony car, and, in the collector car market, interest always
brings value. This Camaro's Standard cockpit begins with pleated
vinyl seats that, restored with optional headrests, look and feel
fantastic. In front of those seats, a 1969-exclusive dash hangs a
correct AC tachometer above a correct Delco AM/FM 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 requisite Rally Wheel laps a red, white and blue horn
button. And behind the passengers, a correctly restored trunk hides
correct tools and a full-size spare tire beneath fresh decklid
decals.
