There is something magnetic about sliding behind the wheel of a
late-1970s American coupe and feeling the road respond. These cars
evoke summer nights, open highways, and the simple pleasure of
mechanical honesty. This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 delivers
exactly that, wearing its period lines with pride while offering
thoughtful upgrades for reliability and drivability. If you have
been searching for a well-sorted driver with presence, this Z/28
deserves a closer look.
The exterior carries believed-original body panels and a full
repaint in its original factory hue. Z/28 stripes and badging
complete the look, while color-matched 15-inch wheels wrapped in
225/70R15 tires set the stance. The overall appearance is sharp and
authentic, true to the Camaro's era.
Inside, the cabin presents cleanly with brown vinyl bucket seats, a
matching rear bench, and a center console housing the shifter. The
dash and gauges show well, while carpeting and trim remain
cohesive. An upgraded radio adds usability, and the T-tops - with
covers included - make this Camaro equally at home on summer drives
or weekend cruises.
Under the hood sits a ZZ6 crate 350 small block (part number
19417576) purchased through Radley Chevrolet, fed by a Holley 770
four-barrel carburetor atop an aluminum dual plenum intake. Cooling
is handled by an aluminum radiator and a serpentine belt
conversion, helping modernize reliability. Power runs through a
TH350 three-speed automatic transmission into a 10-bolt rear axle
with 3.73 limited slip gears. The suspension features A-arms with
coil springs up front, leaf springs with air shocks at the rear,
and a rear sway bar for improved handling. Braking comes via
factory-style power front discs and rear drums.
With just over 3,500 miles logged since the build, this Camaro
feels fresh while maintaining authentic vintage character.
Documentation includes build receipts, engine paperwork,
restoration photos, and service records, with extra parts such as
T-top covers included in the sale.
This 1979 Camaro Z/28 strikes the right balance between classic
appeal and modernized performance. It's a strong-running driver
that rewards with every mile, offering both show-ready looks and
reliable enjoyment. Call today to schedule a viewing or test
drive.
