Vehicle Description
With its slick red style, four-on-the-floor, front disc brakes, and
a fresh crate big block, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is the
real-deal Z/28 with a lot of extra power and poise.
The trim tag identifies this as an X33-code car, and so it has
earned the Z/28 badging on the front and rear. But while that
ensures classic status, you can instantly see this one is going for
a more modern distinction. The factory-correct Garnet Red was
updated later in life to retain a high-gloss shine. With the rocker
trim deleted and the bumpers painted to match, it gives this a
sleeker and more modern style. Eliminating factory brightwork on
the body also means your eye really picks up on the upgraded pieces
like the billet-style grille and polished Boyd Coddingtion 18-inch
alloys. Even the front splitter was upgraded to carbon fiber. This
more aggressive style goes nicely with the iconic Camaro
performance pieces like the cowl hood and D80 full-width rear
spoiler. So the total package is clean, straight, upgraded, and
iconic - all in the first glace.
The upgraded performance attitude continues inside. You instantly
notice the high-back racing bucket seats. And these have white
competition-style harnesses. The seatbelts also reveal part of this
car's thoughtful packaging. They offer a nice contrasting white
against the black interior, and this continues on the floor mats
and AutoMeter Ultra-Lite II white-faced gauges. Newer carpeting,
newer door panels, power steering, and an armrest center console
with cup holders add to this quality package feeling. But the
reason why you really love this is because nothing beats the tingle
that you get when gripping the three-spoke sport steering wheel
with your left hand, and the right one knows exactly what to do
with the Hurst shifter.
The mileage listed on this one represents what's on this crate V8.
That's right, the 454 cubic-inch big block has gone less than 650
miles! Not only is the mileage fresh, but the whole tidy engine bay
has the look of freshness. It inhales deeply with a Quick Fuel
four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as Hooker
headers add power while contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. It also has all the right supporting component, like an
MSD ignition, upgraded pulleys, and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan. Even then battery was moved to the trunk for better weight
distribution. A fresh and thoughtful muscle machine like this fires
up easily, and you get full control over it all thanks to the
four-speed manual transmission. Frame connectors, modern ZR-rated
tires, and sway bars front & rear contribute to a solid performance
feeling on the road. And the front wheel power disc brake gives you
superior stopping power.
Complete with build receipts, this is the real-deal Z-car that has
been upgraded for added power and attitude over its already
legendary siblings. So it's time to upgrade you Z/28
experience.
