Vehicle Description
This 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible really brings it all
together. It's the first official year for the convertible, and
this is an exceptionally preserved low-mileage example. And you
have awesome original paint, a loaded leather interior, and the
numbers-matching V8 to make this a terrific time capsule.
Bright Red is always a great factory color to have on a Camaro, and
so it only gets better when you have a good shine on a
sunshine-friendly convertible. But more than just the right color,
this Camaro has a timeless sense of cool. The black hood inserts
add a nice touch that complements the black headlight housings. In
fact, black is used as the perfect accent color in places like the
tail panel, and the triple stripe even fades into black. That's why
this one also looks great with the black convertible top in place -
it's almost like a two-tone! Even the Z28's sporty lower body kit
coordinates with the special 15-inch alloys. But more than just
great colors, what makes this one extra special is that it's a
three-owner car that hasn't even filled in all the places on the
odometer yet. It has a known history and terrific paperwork that
lets you know it has been carefully preserved to be such a
straight, clean, and shining example from the Camaro's 20th
anniversary year.
Not only is this the Camaro's second-decade benchmark, but it's
also the first official year of the convertible. You could get
specialty drop-top versions built before this, and often not
powered, but this is the first factory-backed one of its
generation. So it breaks a dry spell of factory convertibles since
1969. It's a lot of history to know, but it also explains why the
right people hold this in such high regard. For everyone else, they
will just marvel at the optional red leather interior. It was a
pricey option in 1987, and we have the window sticker to prove it.
Low mileage means little seat time, and this upholstery looks
awesome. It's loaded with the best factory features like power
windows, power locks, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for
air conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And
the power convertible top makes the roof disappear behind a stylish
tonneau with ease. It's such a nice experience that we bet you'll
add to the low odometer - especially because this is such a
driver's machine. Your bucket seat power adjusts, there's a tilt
steering column, and Chevy gives you a full set of crisp/clear
readouts.
With a car so original this far, it's great to see the
numbers-matching powerhouse look so well preserved, too. This is
the 305 cubic-inch powerplant, and this is basically the end of the
era of the four-barrel carburetor. Some of us like that because it
makes the cars easier to tune, but on a car this special, it's also
nice to see it so unaltered thus far. This Z28 proves it's a great
all-around classic for even long distances with the four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive, and you even have cruise
control! Add in power steering, power brakes, front discs, and sway
bars front & rear, and you know you'll enjoy driving this classic
drop-top to plenty of shows.
A car of this caliber comes with terrific paperwork, like the
factory buildsheet, original window sticker, owner's manual, and
original delivery literature. There's even a car cover to properly
tuck it in at night. This year's Camaro convertible celebrated many
milestones, and this example likely does it with the best preserved
and loaded dignity. Call today!!!
