There's few cars on the market that can match the sheer athletic
looks of the Chevrolet Camaro, and even fewer that look as menacing
as this one does. This California built 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28
is absolutely incredible, clocking in at only 94k original miles
and standing out with a killer graphics package and an immaculate
interior. Wrapping a correct numbers matching Chevrolet small-block
350 C.I. V8 under the hood and pairing it to a 4-barrel carburetor.
Torque is put to the pavement through a 3-speed turbo 350 automatic
transmission, 3;42 open rear end, allowing for smooth cruising as
it shifts seamlessly. As sweet as they appear, the Camaros of the
late 70s and early 80s tend to get overlooked, which is a shame
because these Camaros came with some of the coolest decal packages
ever equipped from the factory. A correct, 19-code "Gloss Black"
paint covers the exterior wonderfully, pairing excellently with the
exceptionally-striking orange & red Z-28 decals. It reflects like a
mirror in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine, and it
covers bodylines that are nice and straight. The floors, frame,
trunk and jambs are all rock-solid, and they all present well! The
interior is positively stunning, nearly all-original with comfy tan
cloth & vinyl bucket seats and a full center console. This '79
Camaro came with plenty of options from the factory, all of which
are still present! They include power steering, power brakes, front
disc brakes, power windows, factory A/C, "dual-sport" mirrors, a
remote driver's mirror, the original gauges and tachometer, the
original AM/FM stereo, a tilt steering wheel, a rear defroster, and
a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on factory-spec
15" black Z-28 wheels over brand New Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a
look straight out of 1979! As slick as this Camaro appears, it runs
and drives down the interstate even better. You'll be hard-pressed
to find another Z-28 with the level of originality and correctness
that this one has, so don't let it pass you by! We'd love to see
you drive it away. VIN and Cowl Tag decode as follows: VIN-
