Sporting a correct 350/4-speed drivetrain and hot Cranberry Red over Black aesthetics, this Z28 is a vision of SCCA-inspired performance. And, as a well maintained cruiser that's benefitted from a professional, ground-up restoration, it's a solid piece of classic car potential that's available for relatively modest money!
BODYWORK/TRIM
A simple breakdown of this Camaro's Cowl Tag confirms that it originally left GM's Norwood manufacturing facility as a Blue on Mulsanne Blue Z28. However, thanks to professional restoration completed in the Fall of 2015 by Concord, North Carolina's JLA Custom Restorations, the car was striped and completely redressed in universally admired Cranberry Red. Once that brilliant pigment was smooth and solid, it was accented with black Rally Stripes and sealed in a thick layer of clear. When that clear dried, many labor-intensive hours were spent wet-sanding a spectacular shine. And today, the car is a flash of flamboyant Americana that sails the sea of increasingly monochromatic homogeny we call Ðý©mobilityÐý©.
ENGINE
Tilt this Chevy's domed hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of all-American small block. The car's big Holley carburetor, sealed to a polished air cleaner, funnels life in to a familiar Winters intake. At the sides of that intake, cast iron heads hang finned and polished valve covers over coated shorty headers. Behind those tubes, a traditional points distributor sequences fire through loomed Belden EDGE Premium 7mm cables. Opposite those cables, a quality VIPS serpentine drive spins a polished alternator and polished AC compressor above a polished water pump and polished power steering pump. And in front of those ancillaries, a Champion aluminum radiator utilizes pliable GM hoses to circulate coolant around a polished support cover and correct fan shroud.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
In 1970, the best transmission you could equip your Z28 with was a tough Muncie 4-speed, and that's exactly what trails this Camaro's stout V8. Naturally, that gear slinger spins a correct 12-bolt axle that's stuffed with mild, highway-friendly gears. That driveline rides in a correct F41 Sport Suspension, which combines factory-style power steering with correct power front disc and rear drum brakes. And everything rolls on correct Z28 wheels, which spin two 235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As and two 255/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As around dent-free trim rings and blue bowtie center caps.
INTERIOR
Open the car's long doors and you'll find a Standard vinyl interior that's been restored to factory specifications. A quartet of vinyl buckets is free of significant wear. In front of those seats, a monochromatic dash hangs chrome-trimmed telemetry above Vintage Air climate control and modern, direct-fit audio. At the bottom of that dash, a sea of fade-free carpet floats a chrome Hurst shifter. And the driver carves the road through a factory, 2-spoke steering wheel.
With its clean bones and fun drivetrain, this fully sorted Chevy is the kind of old school muscle that can make any enthusiast happy. And for the low asking, it's one heck of a deal! Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information.
