Vehicle Description
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has the classic good looks you love
and even its numbers-matching V8... but as you notice the upgraded
stance, you really start to see the full picture of an awesome
power coupe with an enhanced powerhouse and the superior control of
a six-speed.
This coupe takes time to make sure we get all the stock 2nd-gen
look we love. The light blue paint is correct for the car, but a
later respray means a terrific gloss that helps to highlight the
clean lines of the chrome-free body. And the Z/28 had terrific
details like the blackout front end, full chin spoiler, fender vent
trim, special sports stripes, and a three-piece rear spoiler. And
while this is a well-done classic, it's also never trying to be a
sleeper because it also makes sure some upgrades showcase a big
power style. There's a lightweight fiberglass hood featuring
securing pins and a nice tall cowl. And the polished Weld Racing
wheels can't help but draw added attention to the big rear tires
and awesome stance.
The black interior is clean and attractive. There are some nice
factory features, like power locks and provisions for air
conditioning (it will need servicing to blow cold again.) You even
have an upgraded AM/FM digital tuner with cassette. But what you'll
like the best is the driver-focused feeling. You have high-back
front bucket seats, a center console in-between, full gauges with a
large speedo and tach, and the special corded grip of the Z/28
steering wheel. And have you counted the gears on the shifter
yet?
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. You'll
even spot a few vintage details like the finned valve covers with
racing flags. But your overall impression is that this one has
taken the time to really upgrade this powerhouse (after all, you
have all those accessors in a coordinating blue.) And it was built
for added power with a Comp Cams camshaft, Edelbrock E-Street
heads, an HEI distributor, an Edelbrock intake, and topped with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor. The long tube headers add to the
power while also giving a nice tune to the dual exhaust and
Flowmaster mufflers. It's quite a powerful small block, and the
upgrade to the six-speed manual transmission means 50 percent more
gears than stock to take full advantage of the enhanced power. Also
helping to harness this power are the subframe connectors,
Competition Engineering traction bars, wide Mickey Thompson rear
tires, and a 3.73 Positraction rear end. Add in power steering,
power, brakes, and front discs, and this speedy Z-car is an
all-around competent driver.
The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet and build
receipts. This Camaro has a terrific style that has the look of a
proper classic while also announcing its serious upgrade in power.
That makes for an awesomely irresistible Z/28. Call today!!!
