The Trans-Am battles for which the Z/28 cars were built need no
introduction, but the cars themselves remain somewhat unique in the
world of collectable automobiles. Not quite race cars, but equipped
with some serious performance hardware. The Z/28 option was a
popular option in 1969 due perhaps to the fact of the race-ready
hardware. Finding an intact Z/28 that hasn't been abused and
thrashed is an exceptionally difficult task. This one is most
certainly as nice as they come and has been authenticated by Larry
Christensen as a true RS Z28 car. During the meticulous nut and
bolt restoration, this Camaro was resprayed in a gorgeous Hugger
Orange that fits this car very well. While this car is exceptional
in every way, it is the little items that will escape your notice
and make it truly remarkable. For example the original trim tag has
never been removed from the body adding to the authenticity of this
rare piece of American history. In short, this car is as close to
the way the factory made it as possible. Of course, at this level,
things like the chrome and stainless have been professionally
refinished. Badges and emblems, including the Z/28 badges on the
front fenders and the '302' badges on either side of the cowl
induction hood, are either exact duplicates of the originals, or
perfectly preserved NOS items. The Rally Sport Package being added
brings along the concealed headlights, special grille, wheel
opening moldings and bright exterior accents. Under the hood sits
the DZ 302 cubic inch V8 that is the basis for this car being such
a sought-after piece of classic car history. The engine has been
rebuilt to stock specifications and remains in show condition
today. The paint on the block and heads is crisp and clean, the
satin black air cleaner wears the correct decals, and the spark
plug wires are accurate reproductions. Even the unique exhaust
manifolds look like they've just popped out of the molds and show
no signs of heat cycling or corrosion. Looking underneath this
beauty, the chassis tells the same story of attention to detail.
Transferring the power to the 12-bolt posi-traction rear end is a
Muncie M-22 close ratio 4-Speed manual transmission that not only
shifts great but really makes you feel one with this machine while
you are behind the wheel. If you are lucky enough to sit in the
interior of this Camaro you will appreciate the fit and feel of the
like new hounds tooth interior. Helping this car sounds like it
should is the chambered exhaust system that has a very tame idle
but when you roll on the accelerator pedal it lets others know you
mean business. Wheels are, of course, the timeless 15-inch Chevy
Rallyes with correct Goodyear Wide Tread GT bias-ply tires. You can
