Vehicle Description
Black is a good look for first gen Camaros. But to go from Good to
Great, takes a lot of hard work. The builder of this car obviously
focused a lot of resources on the paint. Well,... the paint, and
the interior too. Well,... those two and also the motor. Let's just
say that somebody worked hard on this whole build. And it
shows.
The black paint on this car is perfect for showing off the smooth
lines and uniform gaps between the panels of this Camaro body.
White rally stripes are pushed up several inches in order to flow
up and over the cowl induction hood. The front of the car looks
awesome with those dual headlights and Z/28 badge. A pencil thin
chrome bumper underlines the grill, and this car has an extra set
of driving lights just above the chin spoiler. There are also Z/28
emblems on the front fenders, along with Camaro in script. Chrome
highlights run down the rocker panel and dress out the fender
wells, as well as the back edge of the doors. Vent highlights in
front of the rear fender look particularly sweet. The rally stripes
pick up at the back of the car again, dressing up the trunk and
spoiler, with another thin bumper below it. Rally wheels with
polished trim rings and Chevrolet wheel centers finish out the look
of this car nicely.
Open the door and check out the interior that has been freshly
updated throughout, and even smells new. Black is the word of the
day here too. Black carpets, upholstery, and headliner. There are
thin chrome highlights outlining the horizontally pleated door
panel, and a nicely polished sill plate on the rocker adding a
splash of flash. The bucket seats have nicely pleated inserts and
look brand new. Go ahead, sit down in the driver's seat and feel
how good that deep dish, three spoke steering wheel feels in your
hands. Directly in front of that wheel are the speedo on the left,
and tach on the right, with a sweet set of four white faced gauges
tilted up toward the driver in the center console. Now reach for
that Hurst shifter that falls easily to hand, and releases the
beast when you are ready to. Just tell your passenger to get a hold
of that grab handle before you do.
Because this motor is healthy. A neat and clean engine bay cradles
a 355-cubic inch power house. The Cowl Induction hood feeds a black
air topper sporting a 302 Turbo-fire decal further taking the Z/28
badging all the way. The air picks up fuel in a Holley 4-bbl carb,
and is distributed by a polished Weiand intake manifold. Aluminum
Edelbrock Performer RPM heads get the fuel and air in, and then
back out to the long tube headers. Accel Super Stock plugs and
wires provide the spark in between to make lots of power. Finned
aluminum valve covers help with some oil cooling and look great
too. There is more shine with the alternator and mounts, water pump
and pulley, all chrome or polished up too. Show and go baby! Power
flows back through a 4-speed trans to a 12-bolt rear end, and power
front disc brakes provide great stopping power. The rubber meets
the road through 215/60R15 tires in the front, and 225/60R15s in
the rear, all mounted on those sweet Rally wheels.
Come on down and check out this great build. A lot of work went
into it. And it shows.
