Vehicle Description
1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Z28 is the most famous Chevrolet RPO, (regular production option),
code ever. No other option code has become so synonymous with high
performance. Other option codes have been used for well-known
packages such as Z22, (Rally Sport,) and Z27, (Super Sport), but
the option names/descriptions became famous, not the RPO number. It
has also been said that 2 doors and 8 cylinders, but this could be
a coincidence because 28 was the next code in line!
For consignment, a 1984 version of the Chevrolet Camaro Z28. This
car has the original Cream Beige paint job with the original tweed
interior and looks very unassuming...that is until you turn the
key. This year has a fixed non T-top roof, greenhouse rear glass,
dual inset rectangular headlights, and an inset sculpted hood. With
some recent maintenance work, and a beefed up 350ci V8 there is
still a lot of gas to burn through on this 44,116 non verifiable
mile baby, so let's go search out a Mustang to have for lunch!
Note: Due to modifications of the emissions control devices
installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and
federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on
public highways in your area.
Exterior
Wearing the entirety of its original Cream Beige paint which is set
off nicely with gold accenting that encircles the entire lower
body, we note some hazing of the paint, road rash and a few spider
cracks in the neoprene bumpers. A black grille built into the
neoprene front bumper is flanked by quad headlamps that are
shrouded by the long lean hood and integral fog lights are below.
The rear raked in spoiler is also beige and frames the iconic
rectangular grid tail/signal/and backup lights which wrap around to
the rear quarters. Up high is the full steel roof, that helps keep
the chassis stiffer and keep road noise to a minimum. Speaking of
the glass, there's plenty more for the wrap-around greenhouse rear
glass which serves as a "hatchback" if you will and works its way
to the trunk. Factory correct gold tinted aluminum alloy wheels are
wrapped in like new 215/65R15 rubber and adorn the 4 corners.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see vertically embossed stitching in
the tan vinyl panels and all black molded plastic for the door
actuator, armrest, window crank and mirror joystick toggle. Moving
inside, nice clean Medium Doeskin tweed centers with more of the
smooth tan vinyl bolsters cover the high back buckets in front and
a 2 plus 2 rear bench offers up some room for 2 more. A black
topped center console is on the hump, and this rises to the
original dash also in black. Clean tan carpeting floods the floors
and is protected by tan carpeted mats. Everywhere else is covered
in black vinyl or plastic which has been expertly molded to create
a litany of interior shapes pleasing to the eye and touch. The
original 3 spoke steering wheel fronts the factory gauge cluster
complete with a tachometer and multitude of gauges to monitor
engine function. An AM/FM factory installed stereo is in its proper
home and belts tunes out through the rear cloth covered side
speakers.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a Chevrolet orange/red drenched 350ci V8 fitted
with flat top cast pistons that is topped with an Edelbrock 600cfm
4-barrel carburetor. A pair of Edelbrock E-Street aluminum heads
have been bolted on and have Comp Cams roller rockers to actuate
the valves. Assisting in that actuation is a Comp Cams .470 lift
camshaft and on back is a 700R4 4-speed automatic. The rear tires
take the power from this mill via a 10-bolt 3.23 gear rear. All
surfaces are clean and show very little in the way of rust or
patina.
Undercarriage
Fairly clean floor tubs, which are stamped steel, are solid and
rust free. A heavier coating of black rustproofing covers these
surfaces as well as the unibody and suspension with all
structurally sound and fully operational. We can note independent
front coil spring suspension, and a torque arm with coil springs
for the rear. Also, power disc brakes are upfront, and power drums
for the rear. Headers are bolted to the mill and join up to a
single exhaust that turns to dual tail pipes after exiting the
Magnaflow muffler. We see the factory installed catalytic converter
is still in its place, however the air recirculation tube has been
cut and blocked off.
Drive-Ability
Just a great driver that lumbers a bit around corners when pushed,
but all in all a real performer. Good solid braking, and all
functions were working during my drive but I did hear a slight
exhaust leak which I believe is coming from the capped off air tube
on the catalytic converter and I also noticed the AC did not blow
cold as the lines and compressor have been removed. It turned more
than a few heads too!
A good example, nicely maintained, retaining much of its
originality and with the built 350ci V8 under the hood it is
appearing ready to sneak up to a Mustang and say BOO!
