Vehicle Description
With its aggressive cowl scoop and inclined stance, you can see
right away that this 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Tribute means
business. It captures all the magic of its model in its second
generation form and also features a fresh, new interior from which
to command its substantial abilities.
As a '70, this Z/28 was a founding member of the second generation
of Camaros, a class that built upon the resounding success of its
predecessor, while introducing a lower stance for an improved
center of gravity, a wider track and a sloping, fastback style rear
roofline. The combination of the clean white exterior and broad
black painted stripes running the length of the steel cowl hood and
the deck lid in back with its integrated spoiler creates a sporty,
vintage look and, upon closer inspection, you'll find that the
bumpers both fore and aft are nice and clean, along with the trim
surrounding the windows. Freshen up the black front grille and make
a few very slight adjustments here and there to the gaps
surrounding the doors and hood - nothing major, as this Camaro is
structurally sound - and this will be one vital looking vintage
ride.
Inside the doors is an accurate recreation of the driving
environment featured on this Camaro's Z/28 inspiration. The black
and white houndstooth covering the front buckets and rear bench was
a defining styling feature of its era, and the rendition on this
'70, appearing newly reupholstered, shows just how striking those
interiors were. There are a number of other components that have
been recently replaced, so when you take your place behind the
wheel in this cockpit, there'll be plenty to marvel at. The
headliner is nice and snug and also seems new, as does the dash
area, with its assortment of clear, functional gauges and a
supple-looking pad running across the top. An aftermarket AutoMeter
tach now sits on the steering column to keep tabs on RPMs and an
AM/FM/Cassette stereo also stands by at the center of the dash to
provide an era-appropriate audio experience, but it will need just
a little attention to get fully back online.
Starting with the 383 cubic inch V8 underneath the cowl hood
running in top form, this is a very street ready Chevy. The
powerplant has been armed with aluminum heads at its sides and a
high-rise intake manifold and a Holley 4-barrel carb on top and it
sends a deep, resonant note out of the headers leading to its
downturned exhaust. An MSD coil has also been added to heat up the
spark. Sitting just behind it is a 3-speed automatic transmission
that's shifting nice and smooth, while a 10-bolt rear end rounds
out a high functioning drivetrain. Second generation Camaros
already benefited from a lower center of gravity than their
predecessors and the stance on this one is even lower still for
better road holding ability. Add that to the wisdom Chevy engineers
gleaned from the race proven first generation in terms of
suspension advances and handling, and you have a classic muscle car
that delivers a great driving experience. Equipped with both power
steering and power brakes that feature discs up front, the stops
come quick and the handling easy as this icon cruises on its set of
16" Eagle Alloy Torq Thrust style wheels that add just the right
finishing touch.
Solid and straight and sporting a smooth revving small block under
its cowl hood, this 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Tribute delivers
plenty of performance, coupled with an outstanding driving
environment. Call today!
