Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 1979 Z28
Camaro in excellent condition with the highly desirable 4-speed
manual transmission. This Z28 looks amazing, runs well, and drives
great. The car has great lines. This is an excellent opportunity to
own a classic 4-speed Z28 Camaro that is ready to be used and
enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this car now
and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as
these F-Body's are appreciating fast and the market on them is red
hot right now.
This Z28 Camaro is completely "Numbers Matching" with the proper
part numbers and appropriate date codes on the major components.
The last six digits of the VIN are stamped on the engine pad, which
is pictured in this ad, meaning the engine is the original unit
that was installed in the car new at the factory in Norwood, OH.
The transmission is also original with the last six digits of the
VIN stamped on the main case and pictured in this ad.
This Z28 is finished in the beautiful and desirable color
combination of Blue over Bright Blue. The original mileage is
verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear
Ohio title, pictured in this ad, that states the mileage as
"Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, numbers, video, and
information in this ad to get a true sense of clean, nice, and
original this Z28 really is.
As a side note, this Z28 Camaro is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Camaro, just give us a call.
Exterior
The blue exterior is in excellent driver condition. As one can see
in the photos, the paint has an awesome gloss, dazzling shine, and
smooth finish. The trim and decals are in amazing condition with no
fading or peeling. The factory turbine rally wheels are great
condition with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. The BF Goodrich
Radial TA raised white letter tires have 90% tread left. There are
no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the
photos. There are some very small imperfections, rock, chips, and
tiny bubbles around car that were too small to show up in pictures,
but nothing else that is really noticeable from about five or ten
feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside the
bottom of the car is clean. There has been some repair on the rear
frame rails. We have included specific photos of the spring
perches, rockers, lower quarter panels, and other areas most prone
to rust on a second generation Camaro to show how this car
looks.
Window Date Codes
Please note that almost all of the glass on this Camaro, both
pieces of door glass and the rear window are all date coded and
original as each piece predates the car's body build date of the
first week of October, 1978 (10A). Original glass is a good
indication that this car has had no major accident history and
never sustained significant damage.
Interior
The bright blue interior of the Z28 is in fantastic condition. The
seats look just in person as they do in the photos with no split
seams, rips, or excessive wear. The seats are not overly worn in
the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out.
The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The
carpet is also in great condition with no stains, rips, or holes.
The door panels are in good condition overall and fit well to the
doors. The door pulls are solid and in tact. The radio works well,
and gets good reception. The dash looks great with no sun fading;
there is a one small crack, which is visible in the photos. The
original package tray is in nice shape and not faded or warped. The
car has not been smoked in, there are no burn marks and no aroma of
cigarettes.
The truck is in nice shape and complete with the original space
saver, inflator bottle, jack, and jack base plate.
Camaro interiors from this era are not known to wear well and the
excellent condition of this interior is a huge testament to the
meticulous care this car has received throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Z28 seems to be in great mechanical condition. The car starts
right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. This Camaro is
a wonderful driver that feels great on the road and at highway
speeds. In the video below one can observe the car accelerating on
the highway up to about 65mph, shifting through all the gears,
braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note
that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs
quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to
one side or the other. The shifter is tight, the transmission does
not pop out of gear, and the clutch feels good. This Camaro has
plenty of power and is quite fast. Also, the engine compartment is
beautifully clean, detailed, correct, and original as one can see
in the photos. The horn works as do all the exterior lights,
interior lights, wipers, and the blower for the heater on all
speeds. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the
clock. The power locks work, but are a stiff. The a/c does not blow
cold, but the system is totally complete and there is a belt on the
a/c compressor so it may need to be recharged. The car now has a
true dual exhaust system with no catalytic converter and a very
healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the video. Not enough can
be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car,
especially with the 4-speed manual transmission.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1979 Z28 Camaro is in excellent condition. The
originality, manual transmission, and the beautiful color scheme
make this car particularly sought-after and hard to duplicate. Low
mileage and original examples of the second generation Camaros are
hard to find and draw a huge premium in the current market, this is
especially true for the more desirable examples with the 4-speed.
Numbers matching and originality is extremely important in Camaro
pricing and as one can see this car is very original and correct.
Cars like this are the Barrett Jackson stars of the future.
This Camaro always gets a ton of attention driving down the road.
It is very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by
its previous owners. The prices of second generation Camaros have
increased drastically over the past years. They are secure and wise
investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle
for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with
minimal effort.
Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car is in such
great detail with so many photos and a video as well as giving you
all of the other numbers. As stated above, numbers matching is
extremely important in Chevrolet pricing and will become even more
important as time passes and this car becomes older and even more
rare. This information is very valuable and important for pricing.
Any perspective buyer, for any of our vehicles or from other
sellers, should ask for all the numbers and information before he
or she makes a purchase.
Thank you for looking...for more information please contact the
seller.
