For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in Columbus, Ohio

Vehicle Description

$ 42,995

Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you this incredibly low-mileage 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. 1981 was the final year of the 2nd gen Camaro Z28 and cars built for the US market were available with a 350 V8 - 3 speed automatic pairing or a 305 V8 with a 4speed manual. The 350 cars had the new CCC system (computer command control) which was an early ECU that controlled emissions but robbed horsepower. Cars made for export to Canada, however, were available with a 350 - 4-speed combo with no CCC system. Only 3,025 Canadian-spec Z28's were manufactured in '81, and this is one of those special cars! Making it even more desirable is the number on the odometer - a mere 15,246 km, that's only 9,473 actual miles! Let's take a closer look at this very cool ride....

This Z28 comes to us dressed in it's original factory White lacquer paint that's still in good driver-quality condition. All of the Z28's had a 3-color gradient decal package and they were available in seven color combinations. This particular car wears the Red/Dark Orange/Light Orange offering, still in very good condition. Up front, the hood features a rear-pointing raised scoop with a solenoid-operated flap that opens at full throttle, allowing the engine to breathe cooler air. The scoop is accented with decals and an "Air Induction" call-out. Ahead of the hood is a molded urethane front clip with angular upper and lower horizontal grilles flanked by round recessed headlights in black buckets. Beneath is a wrap-around front spoiler with more stripe decals. Sporty good looks continue with the side view, including single-opening fender scoops, body-color sport mirrors and door handles, bright door edge molding, rear fender flares, and more multi-color gradient striping that culminates with a "Z28" on the doors. The fastback roofline leads your eye to the 3-piece rear spoiler on the decklid. The cherry on top of the side view are a set of white 5-spoke Rally wheels (15") with bright rings, all wrapped in white letter BF Goodrich Radial TA's. In the rear you'll find more stripes on the rear spoiler, crystal-clear tail lights, a working power antenna, and a centered gas fill door with Z28 badging. This iconic body style makes the Z28 look like it's going fast even when sitting still!

Lift the hood to find a very clean stock engine bay dressed in black and illuminated by a working courtesy light. At the center is the original blue 350ci V-8 topped with blue valve covers, a factory intake, a 4-barrel Quadra-Jet carburetor, and a black air cleaner with a "5.7 litre Z28" decal and rubber air induction gasket. While under the hood you'll notice power steering, power front disc and rear drum brakes, and working factory air conditioning. Exhaust flows through cast manifolds and dual mufflers before leaving the tips with a pleasing rumble. The V-8 is mated up to a Borg-Warner 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels via a 10-bolt limited-slip rear differential. The car fires right up, runs great, and is a real pleasure to drive.

Prepare to be impressed when you open the drivers door! Inside is a gorgeous stock deluxe red cloth interior that looks showroom new (with the exception of an aftermarket stereo). Working courtesy lights pop on right away to proudly display the time capsule interior. The door panels are a mix of carpet, vinyl, and fabric - all in different shades of red - accented by a bright trim strip and Z28 badge. They feature armrests, power locks, and a drivers mirror toggle. A bright Fisher Body sill plate welcomes you in for a comfortable cruise in one of the red cloth & vinyl bucket seats. The front buckets and the rear seats are all in flawless condition and show no signs of wear. Splitting the front seats is a center console with an armrest/storage box, power window switches, and a shifter for the 4-speed manual with a black pattern ball and black rubber boot. Underfoot is nice red factory carpet with red carpet/rubber floormats while overhead is a tight red perforated vinyl headliner. Ahead of the driver is a 4-spoke steering wheel with a working horn on a tilt column. The wheel frames a silver gauge cluster with gauges for fuel, battery, and temp as well as a clock (inop.), a 140 kmh speedometer, and a 7K tachometer. There are controls for the lights and working 2-speed wipers and also the HVAC system that delivers cold A/C and hot heat with a strong fan on demand. On the right theres a button for the rear defogger and a Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette stereo that plays through a dash speaker and two 6X9's on the rear package tray. The dash is topped off with a crack-free red vinyl pad and there's a glovebox with working courtesy light ahead of the front passenger. The trunk is illuminated by a courtesy light and contains black carpet, a set of mudflaps, and a BF Goodrich donut tire.

If you're looking for a low-mileage '81 Z28 with a rare 350 - 4-speed combo and no power-stealing CCC on it, then you just found your new ride! This car is a gorgeous example of the last year of the 2nd gen Camaro's, and it runs and drives spectularly! To top it all off, it's got cold factory A/C and a rockin' stereo! Give us a call today, don't let this rare opportunity pass you by!
