This 1980 Camaro Z/28 is #13 of 90 limited Hugger Editions produced
to commemorate the #28 Hugger Camaro race car that competed in the
18th Annual 24 Hours of Daytona. The Hugger Camaros, including the
#,28 race car were built by Bill Mitchell's Specialty Vehicle
Developments (SVD) team in Cheshire, CT. The Hugger name comes from
the performance suspension the SVD team added to the vehicles,
which included special KONI shocks, performance springs, and front
and rear anti-sway bars to stabilize the ride. Power comes from a
350ci V8 engine mated to a rebuilt TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission. While most Huggers were painted Red Orange, according
to the Hugger Registry, only six were painted black. The interior
is all-original in unrestored condition and has the original AM/FM
cassette radio. This car is also equipped with factory air
conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, power windows,
electric rear-window defogger, cruise control, limited-slip
differential and dual horns. Additional features included Minilite
wheels, a front-air dam with auxiliary lighting, Racemark padded
steering wheel, hood pins, windshield clips, rear window strips and
distinctive exterior striping. It is still retaining most of its
Hugger modifications, including the 14-inch Minilite magnesium
wheels wrapped with a new set of BFGoodrich tires. This Hugger has
36,757 actual miles and is documented with two GM Build Sheets and
GM of Canada Build Sheet, as well as a copy of its warranty
booklet.
