Vehicle Description
This 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 shows all the right signs of a
real-deal Z-car that has the best color and original V8. So check
out all the details of a legendary mean four-speed coupe.
This was the first year for the second-gen Camaro, and so there are
some exclusive features collectors love. For example, the
factory-correct Hugger Orange paint is an icon of speedy Chevys,
but it was only officially offered on this gen for this year. 1970
was still a time for chrome loves, and so it's nice to see a solid
investment in newer brightwork, including the sharply-pointed front
bumper and form-hugging rear one. The trim tag identifies this as a
real-deal Z/28, and so it's the only one that gets to wear the
painted white racing stripes with pride. Plus, you have all the
other right aggressive details, like the blacked-out grille, deep
chin spoiler, full-width rear spoiler, and all the proper Z/28
badging. The whole car really looks like a time capsule from 1970
right down to the details, like the steel gray Rally wheel package
that debuted for the Camaro this year.
Inside, the factory-correct black interior looks like it was given
plenty of attention during the car's restoration. Once again, you
see 1970-only features like the low-back bucket seats. Plus, the
upgraded AM/FM radio is useful but barely noticed in this
highly-correct presentation because it's a retrosound unit. This
feels like a driver's machine the moment you grab the Hurst
shifter. The dual-spoke steering wheel gives you a clear view to
the large speedo and tach (and yes, this has the correct Z/28
higher redline unit.)
As a Z-car, it will excite you to know it has what's believed to be
the original 350 cubic-inch V8 still under the hood. The block has
some VIN verification and the has the correct CTB suffix code. This
tidy setup has the look of authenticity everywhere - from the bold
paint on the block to the "Keep Your GM Car All GM" decal on the
air topper. More than just a terrific presentation, you want this
Z/28 because it knows how to move. These were built to dominate the
Trans Am series, so you get a big four-barrel carburetor, solid
lifters, and higher compression (another 1970-only desirable
feature.) And the Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission is not
only the numbers-matching unit, but also its close ratio setup
gives you ideal control over the power. It feeds a 12-bolt
Positraction rear end with 4.11 gears for powerful and confident
take-offs. You'll love the growl this coupe makes, and you should
also follow the exhaust's path in the undercarriage photos. There
you'll see more evidence of a proper restoration. Plus, there's the
sports suspension, power brakes w/discs up front, power steering,
and sway bars front & rear.
This is the Z-car that celebrates the first-year of the second-gen
correctly. So if you love bold and powerful muscle that's made to
hit the streets, call today!!!
