Vehicle Description
This is it, the legend, done just the way you'd want. This is a
real-deal 1969 Camaro Z/28 with matching numbers, a great color
combination, and the ultra-desirable RS package. Beautifully and
expensively restored, it's not quite a trailer queen and we're
quite certain you'll have a hard time staying out of the driver's
seat. This is one heck of a driver!
Shockingly enough, this is an original code 69 Cortez Silver car
and they kept it that way when the car was painted four years ago.
Paint and bodywork are outstanding with virtually zero issues with
prep or final finish, making this Z look absolutely spectacular.
But it's not like all the Hugger Orange cars out there, and even
with black stripes, this is a very subtle hammer for prowling the
streets and chances are that nobody will notice what a ferocious
piece this is until it's way too late. A few dress-up pieces like
the bright chrome bumpers, "gill" inserts on the quarter panels,
and proper RS hidden headlights give it a precision look and the
cowl induction hood is always a welcome option on a
high-performance car like this. A ducktail spoiler out back makes
it look suitably racy and all the proper Z/28 badges are in place.
Nobody will mistake this for anything other than what it is, and
we've found that cars like this are always in demand.
Basic black has always suited the Camaro best, and with the Z/28's
all-business attitude, the surroundings are ideally suited to
high-performance driving. The buckets wear quality reproduction
seat covers that are more defined then most and the door panels are
nicely rendered with great bright trim. Lots of desirable options
include a center console, factory tachometer and clock, and the
gauge package ahead of the shifter. The original AM radio is still
in the dash, but it's not working so it's either time for an
upgrade or maybe you just like it the way it is because the song of
the 302 is so much better than anything on the radio anyway. The
steering wheel is gorgeous and adds some warmth to the all-black
interior, and embroidered floor mats are there to keep the carpets
in shape. This car also sports a recent trunk mat that fits very
well, plus a full-sized spare and jack assembly.
Experts will be pleased to note that it appears that the original,
numbers-matching DZ-code 302 remains under the hood, cackling and
snarling like it should. The bright Chevy Orange paint, finned
valve covers, and functional cowl induction air cleaner all add to
the performance air under the hood, and it's got all the correct
little pieces, too. A few modifications make the most of the
deep-breathing 302's abilities, including a set of long-tube
headers and a fresh 2.5-inch stainless steel exhaust system with
X-pipe that sounds absolutely spine-tingling at full bore. The
4-speed Muncie snaps through the gears with authority and a
heavy-duty 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears and a Posi limited slip
keeps up with the 302 without complaint. The underside is extremely
clean and nicely refinished, but again, it's going to be hard to
relegate this one to show-only status despite the quality. There's
a new gas tank out back, fresh lines and hoses, and a big sway bar
and traction bars out back to help keep it planted. Correct Rally
wheels offer the right look and carry low-key fat 235/60/15 Mickey
Thompson radials for a performance look.
The 1969 Z/28 is the most desirable of the early Camaros,
particularly with the RS package. Beautifully restored but with an
eye towards the street, we can guarantee this Z won't last long, so
call today!
