Vehicle Description
This MacNeish-certified Z/28 is a largely-original, 4-owner classic
that wraps a roster of unique options around an original,
numbers-matching drivetrain. Looking for a cool bowtie to bolster
your collection? Want some choice muscle to enjoy during sunny
summer weekends? Here's your fully documented ticket to a glorious,
octane-fueled past!
FOUR-OWNER, MACNEISH-CERTIFIED AUTHENTICITY
It's always nice when a car comes with a full ownership history,
especially when that car is fully documented by a known expert.
This real-deal Z/28, authenticated by Jerry MacNeish in April of
2018, has been in the stewardship of just four enthusiasts since it
rolled off the showroom floor. The car's first family, which
purchased it at Cincinnati's Queen City Chevrolet, sold out to a
neighboring family a few years into ownership. And by 1977, this
Chevy's third owner had added it to a growing collection of
timeless muscle cars. Offering $950 on a $1,000 asking price, owner
number three is perhaps the most significant. He was a retired
General Motors employee who made a habit of collecting interesting
classics and the increasingly rare parts they often required. He
was noted for keeping his collection factory-correct in an era
where so many gearheads were swapping worn out 'used car parts' for
aftermarket 'upgrades'. That dedication to authenticity gained the
attention of the fourth and current owner who, after many years of
trying, finally purchased the Camaro of his dreams.
Residing with those two aficionados for the bulk of its life, this
Chevy logged few miles, and was kept largely original except for a
quality repaint that was conducted sometime around 1993. Naturally,
that refinishing included correct Cortez Silver pigment between
all-original sheetmetal and Tuxedo Black Rally Stripes. The car's
hood is correctly flat, as are its front valance and decklid, which
sport no spoilers of any kind. Familiar T3 headlights lead original
chrome and stainless. And as you might expect, all emblems and
trimmings survive straight from the factory.
ORIGINAL, NUMBERS-MATCHING POWER
Between the fenders, a clean engine compartment frames an original,
302 cubic inch Chevrolet V8. There are many factory-fresh
components, including an original intake, original heads, an
original starter, an original alternator, an original voltage
regulator, an original Holley carburetor and an original brake
booster that's finished with a correct master cylinder. The car's
hard-to-find smog system is likewise original. Sparks are sequenced
through a date-correct distributor. Cooling is provided by an
original, re-cored radiator, which, for the sake of safety, siphons
a new, high-flow water pump. That said, the original water pump is
included with the car's sale. And the engine is verified by a
correct 3932386 casting number, an October (J) 26th (26), 1968 (8)
casting date, a 302 (DZ) assembled in Flint (V) on November (11)
2nd (02) build stamp and a matching 539713 partial VIN.
That small block spins an original Muncie 4-speed, which hangs a
correct 3925660 casting number in front of a 1969 (9) Muncie (P)
M21 (B) assembled on October ( R ) 30th (30) build stamp and a
matching 539713 partial VIN. That transmission twists an original
12-bolt axle, which displays a familiar 3894860NF casting number
beside an October (J) 25th (25) casting date and a
12-bolt/posi-trac/4.10 (BV) assembled on November (11) 4th (04) by
Detroit Gear & Axle second shift (G2) build stamp. That rear end
pushes a factory-spec suspension. Exhaust travels through chambered
pipes. Power-assisted discs and drums provide quick and reliable
stops. Everything rolls on date-correct Rally Wheels, which spin
E70-15 Firestone Sport Car 200s around original trim rings and
original center caps. And clean, original floors are free of
sloppy, retrofitted undercoating.
ORIGINAL, DELUXE DIGS
The Deluxe Black Interior hiding behind this Camaro's Cortez Silver
doors is a mostly-original affair that still looks great! Tall
seats are believed to be original, with the exception of freshened
upholstery on the driver's bucket. In front of those seats, a
wood-trimmed dash hangs stainless-trimmed foot pedals below rebuilt
factory telemetry and a Delco AM radio. Monochromatic floor mats
protect retrofitted carpet that's centered on a requisite Hurst
shifter. That seat, dash and rug trifecta is completely framed by
fade-free Deluxe side panels. The driver spins a wood-trimmed
steering wheel. And behind the passengers, a solid trunk hides an
original jack, an original spare wheel and a vintage spare
tire.
While this Camaro might not be the rarest Chevy ever produced, time
and history have greatly increased its exclusivity. Don't miss your
chance to own some fully-documented, largely-original Motor City
muscle!
