Vehicle Description
These second-generation Camaros are great driving cars. They have a
wide track and low center of gravity that makes them hug the curves
and accelerate out of corners with the push of V8 power. But they
are also comfortable with things like air conditioning and nice
sound systems that make road tripping in them enjoyable. This one
remains completely stock and has been well cared for, so come on
down and check out how nice this car really is.
It's hard to believe that this car is 30 years old! The styling
still looks good with an aggressive stance and smooth, clean,
lines. The paint, which is the original color of Silver still looks
great today, so you know this car was somebody's pride and joy for
all those years. Up front, the black grill is split by the molded
bumper with a deep chin spoiler that wraps around the side pushing
the air out beyond the wheels. Z28 appears on the nose with the
headlights and markers set into blacked out fairings in the
bodywork. There is an air induction scoop outlined in Orange
striping on the hood and side vents on the fenders. A two-tone
orange stripe runs along the rockers with Z28 in black and a
serious rear spoiler keeps downforce on the back end at speed.
Another set of orange stripes with Z28 lettering runs just below
the spoiler with the taillights and a clean molded bumper below
that.
Open the door and you will find a very clean and well taken care of
Black interior. The door panels have a comfortable armrest in a
vertically molded center section with a smooth upper and lower. The
high back bucket seats are super comfortable with pleated seating
surfaces divided into sections and smooth side bolsters that
provide great support for spirited driving. Between the seats there
is a center console that has some nice storage with a lid that
doubles as a nice armrest on long cruises and just in front of it
is the shifter for the automatic transmission. There is a
four-spoke steering wheel with a Z28 horn button mounted on a tilt
column with a stock dash and gauges that includes a factory tach
behind it. The ventilation controls which include air conditioning
are low on the left side and there is an AM/FM/CD player for your
listening pleasure.
Pop the hood and you will find a tried and true 350 cubic inch V8
motor nestled down in the engine bay. It is completely stock with
signs of good regular maintenance just as you would expect based on
the condition of the rest of the car. The belts and hoses as well
as the ignition items like plugs, wires, and distributor cap are
all newer and the AC lines to the compressor have recently been
replaced too. Power flows back through a 3-speed automatic
transmission to the rear wheels through a 10-bolt rear end mounted
on leaf springs. The front end is a control arm setup with coil
springs and the spring rates as well as sway bars both front and
rear were matched by the factory to provide the kind of handling
you expect from a Z28. Power front disc brakes insure that you can
haul this car back down from speed if you let the horses run and
the rubber meets the road through 225/70R15 Cooper Cobra tires
mounted on 5-lug alloy wheels.
This is a really great example of a second gen Z28. It was
somebody's pride and joy and was well taken care of. Come on down
and check it out. You might decide to become its next
caretaker.
