Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this spectacular 1972
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for sale. The Z28 offered here has an
impressive history that is well documented in a book that has been
made about this specific example. The original owner of the car was
a GM Flint employee and purchased the car in 1971. The purchase of
the car was done through a direct order to the factory meaning that
this car never sat in a dealer lot.
Immediately after delivery, the original 350ci engine was removed
and an alternate 350ci engine was installed to preserve the
original while drag racing with the alternate. Along with the new
engine, a 4:56 rear axle and Hurst shifter were added to aid in
drag racing. In the early 1980s, the original owner sold the car to
his son who proceeded to remove the drag racing engine and 4:56
rear axle. The original engine and 373 rear end were put back in
the car.
The car then moved from Michigan to California to South Carolina
and then finally back to Michigan. From 2007 to 2010 this car
underwent a complete restoration. Some minor bodywork was performed
after the car had been walnut shell blasted to repair a dent from
the car's drag racing days. The paint was redone in 2010 and is the
original Cranberry Red color. Despite being no trailer queen, the
paint is in extremely good condition and shows great.
When this car was ordered a white vinyl interior was selected. The
book notes that this choice was due to the hot days spent at the
race track. At the time of restoration, the seats were replaced but
the door panels had to be refurbished. Also at the time of
restoration Wilwood front disc brakes were added along with
repairing or replacing any seals, mounts, wiring harnesses, hoses,
and belts that were in need of repair. Over $30,000 was spent on
the restoration along with over 650 hours being poured into the
car. Please call or email with any questions or for additional
information on this 1972 Chevrolet Camaro with a great history.
