The 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a standout example of second-generation muscle. Under the hood, it features a 350 cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 engine producing 255 horsepower, as denoted by the L code in the VIN. The engine compartment is meticulously clean and showcases a factory black chrome air cleaner connected to a ram air hose and front-facing scoop. The engine is painted blue and complemented by power steering, air conditioning, power disc brakes in the front, drums in the rear, factory exhaust manifolds, and a 4-speed manual transmission. It’s paired with an HD 10-bolt rear end, with the chassis being as well-maintained as the engine bay. The car rides on factory Z28 wheels, each individually restored, wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial TA performance tires.
The interior of this Z28 has been fully restored, featuring twin front bucket seats and a matching rear seat. It includes a center console with a 4-speed shifter and white shifter ball, an aftermarket stereo radio system, power windows, air conditioning, and a tilt wheel. Factory gauges are housed in a sleek dash, complemented by black carpeting.
On the exterior, the Camaro sports a fresh coat of black paint that gleams over the straight body panels. Notable features include a scooped Z28 hood, rear spoiler, “Z28” stripes and decals, front spoiler, and fender flares similar to those found on the Pontiac Trans Am. The dual exhaust system contributes to the car’s robust performance and striking presence.
