Vehicle Description
One of 20,302 Z/28s built in 1969, this beautiful Chevrolet Camaro
Z/28 is a great example of a very original car that has been only
partially restored. This is a true collector's item with original
documentation, original Dusk Blue color, original matching-numbers
302ci V8 engine, original matching-numbers 4-speed manual
transmission and original 12-bolt posi-traction rear end. It has
been certified as authentic by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish of
Camaro Hi-Performance. As the seldom-seen original three Broadcast
Sheets indicate, this car was built February 17, 1969. The car was
ordered with a Dusk Blue exterior, black standard interior and the
following options: tinted glass (A01), posi-traction rear axle
(G80) with 3.73 ratio, disc brakes (J52), 4-speed transmission
(M20), AM radio (U63) and Special Performance Package (Z28). As the
original dealer 1969 Chevrolet Pre-Delivery Service and Adjustment
Check Sheet indicates, it was sold by Lee Johnson Chevrolet in
Kirkland, WA. From the information gathered, the car found its way
down south, where it spent many years. It was purchased by Joseph
Zrostlik from Long Groove, IA, in 2006 with roughly 58,000 original
miles. Prior to his purchase the car had been recently repainted in
its original color of Dusk Blue. The color combination of Dusk Blue
with white stripes is absolutely stunning. Only 3.3% of total
Camaro production in 1969 was painted Dusk Blue, which makes it
very desirable among collectors. Joseph enjoyed taking the car to
shows and once on a Power Tour. After 12 years of ownership he sold
the car to Michael Mulvey of Denver, CO, in 2018. Mike reluctantly
sold the car to friend and well-known classic car collector Bryan
Frank of Scottsbluff, NE, in 2020. This car hasn't been publically
offered for sale in almost 20 years until now. The exterior body
retains all the original sheet metal, which is very straight with
excellent gap lines. The paintwork is beautiful and has been
detailed to a show-quality shine. All of the glass is original,
with exception of the front windshield. The car sits on the correct
Goodyear Wide Tread GT E70-15 tires. The exterior is complemented
by a black interior that's in excellent original condition. The
trunk compartment retains most the original unique Los Angeles
splatter paint. The engine compartment was lightly restored and
presents very nicely. The car is powered by its original
matching-numbers 302ci V8 engine that was completely rebuilt in
November 2022. The engine is coupled to the original
matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission and the 12-bolt
posi-traction rear end with 3.73 gears. The undercarriage was
undercoated at the dealership when it was new and is rust-free. The
original floor pans and trunk floor are in excellent condition.
This car was recently serviced and detailed, which is documented
with an invoice that is included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS
Collection.
