Vehicle Description
1980 Camaro Z28 Restored and looking tuff. Proof that the muscle
car didn't die. With a great-running rebuilt 350 cubic inch engine,
a load of options, PS, PB, tilt, remote mirror and those
high-visibility Z/28 graphics, you won't be sneaking around in this
one, but then again, why would you want to? The Brite Orange Red
paint with light and dark orange Z/28 stripes give this Camaro a
look that captures the era perfectly. The car was repainted a few
years ago and remains very nicely preserved. The aggressive chin
spoiler shows no cracks from run-ins with parking curbs, the lower
rockers haven't been abused by flying debris, and the newer stripe
package remains bright and vivid against the paint. Judging by the
condition of the grille, and the clarity of the taillights this car
has spent a good amount of its life protected indoors, used only as
a fair-weather toy. Sure, there are some signs of use (a couple
chips), but this is a nice-looking car that captures what
performance looked like at the dawn of the 1980's. The black
reupholstered buckets are every bit as comfortable as they look.
Like the bodywork, the newer interior is remarkably well presented.
The dash, headliner, door panels and carpeting remain in very good
condition with no fading, it all shows very nice. This Z also
includes things like factory A/C, a center console, functional Cowl
induction hood and an optional tachometer (yes, optional, even on
the Z/28!). Modifications are limited to the entertainment system,
which now offers an Kenwood AM/FM/ cassette head unit. The code "L"
in the VIN means this is a real Z/28 and therefore the rebuilt 350
cubic inch V8 nestled into the engine bay is legit. Chrome valve
covers are a traditional upgrade but for the most part it's fairly
OEM looking under the hood without a lot of flash. Underneath, it's
clean and solid, It's clear to see it's been kept up, signs of
recent service on both the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and
10-bolt rear end. A new dual exhaust system which included headers,
sounds amazing. So even if it isn't exactly an LS6, it certainly
roars like one. The original wheels show beautifully, zero curb
rash and little wear on the Cooper Cobra radials. Second-generation
Camaro's are seeing upward movement as hobbyists look to the cars
of their youth, and this one represents a great opportunity. Miles
showing since restoration 30,723.
