This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS re-creation is powered by a
period-correct, date-matching DZ302 V8 engine paired with a rebuilt
M21 close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission. The engine was fully
disassembled and inspected during restoration, with confirmed
correct internals and the addition of a DZ-spec hydraulic roller
camshaft, roller valvetrain components, Pertronix ignition and
long-tube headers feeding a stainless MagnaFlow exhaust system.
Power is delivered through a rebuilt 12-bolt posi-traction rear
axle with 3.73 gearing. The car retains its original factory sheet
metal, including floors, trunk and body panels, and received a
comprehensive rotisserie restoration completed in 2021 following
long-term southern U.S. use. Z/28 RS equipment includes front and
rear spoilers, functional cowl-induction hood and air cleaner,
Rally Sport trim with hidden headlamps and correct T3 headlights,
with a Detroit Speed electric headlamp conversion installed while
retaining original vacuum components. The interior has been
restored with a concours-quality Legendary interior featuring an
8,000-rpm tachometer, full console gauge package, rosewood steering
wheel and tilt column, and was ordered new with radio and clock
delete. The car rides on restored 15-inch Rally wheels fitted with
correct E70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread GT tires, and all chrome,
stainless, mechanical and cosmetic components have been restored or
renewed.
