1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

An amazing true survivor with all the best features you could want - including the original V8 and A/C. So it's amazing that this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is available right now for such an affordable price.

Dark brown is a great color to celebrate the 1970s. Not only is this the correct color for this coupe, but it also shows all signs of being factory original! Yes, this Camaro is a great way to enter the new survivor culture that prioritizes preservation over restoration. So while the paint is not perfect, the level of gloss and shine will have you amazed that something could be cared for this nicely for nearly four decades. But more than just it's history, you want this because it has all the great elements that made these Z/28s so desirable. The long hood scoop, wraparound chin spoiler, slotted fender vents, and full-width spoiler are nicely framed by the multi-tone gold stripe package. This is presented so well because good care has been taken to make sure the sheetmetal retains its angular design that keeps these later third-gen Camaros so distinctive. Finish it off with proper Z/28 turbine wheels that match the body accents, and this is a well-coordinated total factory package.

This car has averaged around 900 miles annually, and so low mileage means little seat time. That's why the tan interior looks so nice. The earthtone presentation is well preserved on the dash, door panels, carpeting, and comfortable cloth bucket seats. The sporty steering wheel and full gauge dashboard gives this Z a performance feel, and you'll love resting your right arm between the center console and perfect-sized shifter. And while this looks like a time capsule, right down to the AM/FM stereo with working 8-track, there is one upgrade you can feel. The air conditioning has been upgraded to modern R134a to ensure you'll continue to stay cool while enjoying this very vintage ride.

Under the hood is Chevy's stout 350 cubic-inch V8, and on a car that has been so authentic so far, you'll be happy to know this is the original motor, too. Survivor people will love the authentic level of detail, right down to the factory decals. Emissions regulations meant this powerplant didn't always have the best horsepower figures of the Camaros, but the ace up its sleeve was that the motor has similar torque figures to the Mercedes sports cars of the day. Plus, this one gives you the most out of the V8 thanks to the correct Rochester four-barrel carburetor on top. Adding to this driver's attitude are features like power steering, front disc brakes, and three-speed automatic transmission.

An authentic, clean, and all-around cool presentation means you're looking at a great classic Camaro Z/28 at an unbeatable price. Survivors like this are becoming rarer every day, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
