Vehicle Description
More than just a real-deal Z-car, this 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
has been preserved in the right places and painstakingly restored
everywhere else to deliver a time capsule example of one of the
most desirable muscle machine around.
This was the first year for the second-gen Camaro, and so there are
some exclusive features collectors love. For example, the
factory-correct Camaro Gold paint was a shade only offered this
year. That's why they invested nicely in a professional respray to
give this a truly precious metal finish in the sunshine. But this
bright coupe also has a dark side. It has a proper RS front end
with the split bumper, correct marker lights, and a large
blacked-out grille - like a mouth ready to consume lesser cars. The
dark opening also goes with the deep chin spoiler and the Z/28's
black dual racing stripes. And that full-width rear spoiler is the
perfect performance-minded finishing touch. While we already
mentioned the front bumper, it's worth noting the mirror-like
quality of the form-fitting rear one, too. The whole car really
looks like straight and clean time capsule from 1970 right down to
the details, like the Z/28 badging and revised Rally wheel
package.
Inside, the factory-correct saddle interior has a terrific level of
preservation. Once again, you see 1970-only features like the
low-back bucket seats. This has all the features you love,
including the center console with iconic horseshoe shifter. Plus,
the upgraded AM/FM radio is barely noticed in this highly-correct
presentation because it's a retrosound unit. The dual-spoke RS
steering wheel gives you a clear view to the large speedo and tach
(and yes, this has the correct Z/28 higher redline unit.)
This is a real-deal Z-car, and so it will excite you to know it has
what's believed to be the original 350 cubic-inch V8 is still under
the hood (it even has the correct CTC suffix code.) This tidy setup
has the look of authenticity everywhere - from the bold paint on
the block to the "Keep Your GM Car All GM" decal on the air topper.
More than just a terrific presentation, you want this Z/28 because
it knows how to move. These were built to dominate the Trans Am
series, so you get a big four-barrel carburetor, solid lifters, and
higher compression (another 1970-only desirable feature.) And the
TH400 three-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit built to
handle this muscle. You'll love the growl this coupe makes, and you
should also follow the exhaust's path in the undercarriage photos.
There you'll see more authenticity, including the sports
suspension, front disc brakes, and sway bars front & rear.
Complete with owner's manual and build receipts, this is a very
desirable year for a Z-car. So if you're looking for a true classic
muscle machine, don't let this one slip away. Call now!
