While there were 243,000 Camaros produced for the extended 1969 model year, only 20,302 were Z/28s. The first-generation Camaro Z/28s are among the most collectible and sought-after Camaros ever produced. This example is special and significant on many levels. Having been authenticated, certified and inspected multiple times by the well-known Jerry MacNeish of Camaro High Performance, Inc., it retains its original trim plate with Option code X-77, indicating it is a true Z/28. The entire driveline is proven and inspected to be matching-numbers, with engine, transmission and rear end all original to the car. Finished in its correct and desirable Dusk Blue paint with deluxe black interior, it also features options that include tinted glass, center console, spoiler equipment, posi-traction 3.73:1, M22 HD transmission, special instrumentation, power steering and more.
A complete frame-off, nut-and-bolt concours-level restoration was completed on the car, which was then judged on multiple occasions at Chicago’s Chevy VetteFest Nationals, most recently getting an unprecedented 999 points out of 1,000 in November 2004. A 3-inch binder with judging sheets, ownership history with titles and letters from owners, Concours Gold awards from Muscle Car/Corvette Nationals, and receipts for parts and labor with framed storyboards will all be going to the next owner. Since its significant notoriety of being one of the most documented and accurate Z/28s in existence and having spent the last number of years in a private collection in a climate-controlled environment, it is still in pristine and flawless condition, with nothing needed other than an equally passionate and appreciative new owner.
