Frame-off restored and NCRS certified; this 1972Chevrolet Camaro
RS/Z28 was first sold in 1972 by Berger Motors: The Performance
Experts (documented). The complete frame-off restoration is
reported to have been executed in a manner that saw each and every
metal part, glass beaded down to the original surface and
refinished. The owner states that the Camaro is correctly finished
throughout and has a beautifully detailed red oxide primer
undercarriage. The RS/Z28 is finished in its original color of code
65 Orange Flame (from PPG) with Black stripes and Black interior.
The engine is reported as being the correct 350-cid LT-1 V-8 that
has been rebuilt at .030 over. The rebuilt four-speed Muncie
transmission is also reported as correct to the car, as is the
rebuilt 10-bolt 3.73:1 geared Posi-traction rear end that included
new bearings and seals.
Additional description of the restoration includes that the car has
its original factory aluminum intake and the correct Holley 780-cfm
dual-feed has been rebuilt to factory specifications. The correct
11-inch cast iron disc brakes are found at the front and the
correct standard 9.5-inch drums are at the back. The brakes include
all new rotors, drums, calipers and hardware with new brake lines
from front-to-back. There is a new power steering gearbox, pump and
pressure lines.
The interior has also received this incredible detailing that
includes all seat springs and frames sandblasted and powdercoated;
then all reupholstered using the proper factory matching material
and new foam. The owner conveys that "every single part of this car
was completely gone through and if each and every part was not
perfect, it was replaced. Best of the best quality!" Over 200
pictures of the restoration process were taken to document this
painstaking process.
This exciting Camaro RS/Z28 has front and rear spoilers, factory
five-spoke Z28 steel wheels painted dark gray, sport mirrors with
driver's side remote, factory AM/FM radio, RS package, bucket
seats, center console, plus all of the instruments, radio and clock
function properly. The second generation Camaros continue to rise
in prominence and this is, with little doubt, one of the finest
currently available.
