RARE 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28/LT – 4-Speed, 435HP 350 V-8 with LT1 heads and a 290-duration lift, manual transmission, air conditioning, Frame-Off Restored in 2016 and repainted Summer 2025. EXCELLENT CONDITION.
Up for sale is a TRUE 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28/LT finished in silver metallic and restored to an exceptional level. This Z28/LT has a unique blend of performance and comfort. Out of 151k Camaros produced in 1974 only 2500-3000 were LT’s, and even fewer with manual transmission.
This Camaro underwent a frame-off restoration in 2016 and was treated to a full respray July 2025. This Camaro presents beautifully - both exterior and interior. It retains the iconic Z28 styling, although the car has been upgraded to include matching paint color on the aluminum bumpers and brand new 17" rally wheels in the same style and color as original. The owner purposely left off the optional Z28 sticker package for the hood and trunk, consistent with the standards which existed at the time of build where you either had the Z28 logo on the front quarters or the stripes. Interior was fully restored, and with the exception of some minor wear on interior door panels, is in excellent condition. Dash is in perfect condition. Undercarriage is solid, with no rust and red oxide floor pans.
Under the hood sits a professionally built 350 V-8 four bolt main with LT1 heads, roller rockers and a 290-duration lift, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum intake, producing an estimated 435 horsepower. The car drives well and sounds great with the Hedman Headers. Power is sent through a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission with a new Hurst Competition Plus shifter to a 10-bolt rear end with 3.42 gears and Posi traction. The 3.42 axle was standard for manual transmission cars equipped with optional air conditioning. Odometer shows what is believed to be 108,500 miles, but TMU.
Additional highlights: Vintage Air conditioning system to allow for easy servicing with the latest technology - control panel and air outlet on dash blend in well for a seamless appearance, aftermarket Custom Autosound AM/FM radio with portable charging cord, power brakes with front disc and rear drum,tilt steering wheel, new General G-Max RS high performance tires, New: E3 premium plugs, Moroso Ultra 40 race spark plug wires, battery, Powermaster high-torque starter, power steering pump and hoses, K&N air cleaner.
This is not a numbers-matching car, but rather a high-quality, mostly period-correct performance build that delivers the look of a classic Z28 with significantly enhanced power. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored second-generation Camaro that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed.
PLEASE NOTE - information provided above regarding the high-performance engine specs and when the vehicle had a complete restoration, is derived from what appears to be the advertisement for the car just after restoration. It was listed for sale by Streetside Classics, Charlotte, in 2016. The ad and a video, if you do a search, is still available on the internet. You will see pictures of the car from 2016 that are consistent with the car having a fresh restoration. Engine particulars, such as the 290 cam, LT1 heads, and horsepower APPEAR to be accurate, but have not been professionally verified. You can also view an ad and condition of the vehicle back two years ago, when the owner that I purchased the car from purchased the car - that ad can also be found on an internet search under USA hotcars, a dealer in San Ramon, CA. The car at that time was still in excellent condition, as seen in the photos. I purchased the car almost two years ago and the seller had no paperwork. An inquiry to Streetside Classics for further information on the car went unanswered. Car had a full repaint last summer after I dented the passenger side door, which was professionally repaired by a long-time GM auto body technician. The body work included fixing two small cracks in the paint on each sail panel (typical for these cars) and a divot on the hood caused by a prior owner shutting the hood on an air cleaner that was too high, along with some minor touch-ups. I opted to do an expensive full respray vs. trying to blend paint on the repaired areas and have it look less than stellar.
I have receipts for any work and parts purchased that has been done under my ownership.
Clean NH title in my name, in hand.
There are no known problems with the vehicle and it is being sold as is, where is without a warranty.
