Vehicle Description
When it debuted in 1982, Chevrolet's all-new, third-generation
F-body Camaro and its Pontiac Firebird stablemate redefined
American high performance with great looks, sleek, low-drag
styling, and exceptionally good handling and braking worthy of
their European archrivals. While straight-line performance took a
back seat to all their other attributes, the new F-body models were
soon available with additional power by 1984 with Chevrolet's hot
new RPO L69 option delivering 190 factory-rated horsepower from 305
cubic inches. If that doesn't sound like much of an improvement
over the standard 145-horsepower 305 V-8, the L69 mill made the
Camaro and Firebird very serious performance cars with quarter-mile
acceleration closely rivaling the old factory supercars of the
late-1960s/early 1970s. Offered with 210 actual miles at the time
of writing, this 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was acquired by the
seller in mid-2021 via a dealer, who reportedly acquired the car
from its first registered owner. Finished in black over gray
upholstery, it is powered by a 5.0-liter RPO L69 H.O. V8 engine
paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Other highlights
include 15-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, and a factory AM/FM
cassette stereo system. Other features include fog lamps, matte
black hood inserts, Z/28 badging, sport side mirrors, a decklid
spoiler, and Camaro-branded mud flaps. The well-appointed interior
cabin features seats upholstered in gray vinyl with striped cloth
inserts, matching door panels, and gray carpets. Amenities include
climate control, a Delco AM/FM cassette stereo and Extended Range
Sound system, a center console with floor-shift lever, and a remote
hatch release. A three-spoke steering wheel frames factory
instrumentation including an 85-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and
gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, voltage, and oil
pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 208 miles. The 5.0-liter
L69 H.O. V8 is equipped with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and
produced 190 horsepower and 240 ft/lbs of torque when new. Power is
sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive. Factory 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels wear 215/65
Goodyear Eagle GT tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted
front disc and rear drum brakes. The CARFAX report shows no
accidents and also shows registration history in Pennsylvania from
its first entry in May 2011. Chevy's top Camaro during the
mid-1980s performance wars against Ford's potent 5.0-liter Mustang,
this 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is a low-mile example in the L69
tune. From The Flying Marlin Collection.
