For Sale: 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

This is how a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was always supposed to be. The bold looks are now backed up by a 490+hp monster motor, and plenty of other performance goodies in this thoroughly upgraded coupe. So if you're ready to own the streets, this is ready today.


You know you love the look of these later 2nd generation Camaros. The angular design could have almost passed for European if it were not for the aggressive body classing. And of course, painting it a classic color like Carousel Red instantly makes it an American classic. But that's only the tip of the custom details. The billet grille gives the front end a clean-n-mean look that's highlighted even further by the chrome headlight surrounds. Then as you move further down the car, the hood pins and extra tall custom cowl hood let everyone know that there was some serious investment in performance. Just in case they didn't pick up on that cue, the aggressive stance gives this coupe the profile of a boxer leaning in for the first punch.


Inside the black is the perfect complement to the exterior accent color seen on the grille, rear window slats, and taillight panel. The dark finish is well preserved on the door panels, headliner, and carpeting. You'll love how plush the high back bucket seats feel, and how they encapsulate you so well when combined with the armrest center console. In fact, the positioning of the new three-spoke steering wheel (w/power steering), and tall shifter, have the kind of easy reach you'd expect from a modern sports machine. You have a clear view at the larger speedo and tach, which is a very good thing, because you're going to be watching those constantly.


If all you did was open the hood at a car show or cruise-in, the crowds would gather just for all the right investments in beautifully polished components. But even if you never showed off the engine bay, this would still be quite a popular Z. That's because beyond the shine is performance-built 383 cubic-inch stroker motor. The long list of stout components in this build include an Eagle crank, Scat six-inch I-beam rods, Manley flat-top forged pistons (11:1 compression), vortec heads, Manley retainers with PSI springs, stainless valves, stainless roller rockers, roller cam, ported & powder coated intake, long tube headers, 850 CFM Demon four-barrel carburetor, and much more (call for all the details.) Just know that this has been dynoded at 492 horsepower, and the Cherry Bomb dual exhaust announces this power superiority with a thunderous roar. And when you have a muscle machine like this, the only way to control it is with a Borg Warner Super T10 four-speed and strong Centerforce clutch. This sends the power to a versatile 3.73 rear end with Positraction. The suspension has been upgraded for all this power, including one-inch drop spindles, huge rear tractions bars, and four-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. Finish it off with seriously wide rubber on iconic Cragar SS wheels, and you have a total power package that looks right and handles like a mean machine should.


Complete with plenty of build receipts, here's a classic Camaro that has an awesome appearance and all the right moves to live up to its bold first impression. A car this special never stays idle for long. Call now!!
