There is something magnetic about sliding behind the wheel of a late-1970s American coupe and feeling the road respond. These cars evoke summer nights, open highways, and the simple pleasure of mechanical honesty. This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 delivers exactly that, wearing its period lines with pride while offering thoughtful upgrades for reliability and drivability. If you have been searching for a well-sorted driver with presence, this Z/28 deserves a closer look.
The exterior carries believed-original body panels and a full repaint in its original factory hue. Z/28 stripes and badging complete the look, while color-matched 15-inch wheels wrapped in 225/70R15 tires set the stance. The overall appearance is sharp and authentic, true to the Camaro's era.
Inside, the cabin presents cleanly with brown vinyl bucket seats, a matching rear bench, and a center console housing the shifter. The dash and gauges show well, while carpeting and trim remain cohesive. An upgraded radio adds usability, and the T-tops - with covers included - make this Camaro equally at home on summer drives or weekend cruises.
Under the hood sits a ZZ6 crate 350 small block (part number 19417576) purchased through Radley Chevrolet, fed by a Holley 770 four-barrel carburetor atop an aluminum dual plenum intake. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator and a serpentine belt conversion, helping modernize reliability. Power runs through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission into a 10-bolt rear axle with 3.73 limited slip gears. The suspension features A-arms with coil springs up front, leaf springs with air shocks at the rear, and a rear sway bar for improved handling. Braking comes via factory-style power front discs and rear drums.
With just over 3,500 miles logged since the build, this Camaro feels fresh while maintaining authentic vintage character. Documentation includes build receipts, engine paperwork, restoration photos, and service records, with extra parts such as T-top covers included in the sale.
This 1979 Camaro Z/28 strikes the right balance between classic appeal and modernized performance. It's a strong-running driver that rewards with every mile, offering both show-ready looks and reliable enjoyment. Call today to schedule a viewing or test drive.
