Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 For Sale by Owner

Ford’s pony car debuted in 1964, and Chevrolet was determined to not let Ford have all the fun and fame by themselves. Cue 1966, and the Camaro would enter the muscle car scene, and since then, Mustang vs Camaro has been at it, to this day. This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 comes from the second generation of the nameplate, and bears 60,000 miles to its name. The seller also reports a host of new parts, which should ensure many more years of reliable enjoyment in this American classic.

Exterior and Interior

The butch looks of the second generation Camaro are all the more enhanced by the new Gunmetal Gray paintwork on this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. It’s not quite black, and yet it is, in some ways. The original wheels prevail, albeit having been powder coated for added sinisterness, and wear Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The current owner also reports new lights, mirrors, grille, trim, bumpers hood scoop, door handles, door locks assembly, rear spoiler and new front end too. Focus your attention to the roof, and it’s got the desirable T-Top option for some open air motoring when the mood strikes, and the weather permits. A glance beneath this Camaro reveals an undercarriage that’s in pretty decent nick too. A new upholstered interior and new headliner greet you as you open the door to the predominantly black themed cabin of this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, that offers seating for up to four occupants. Bask in the Seventies glory, and don’t be spoilt for musical choice as the seller reports a new stereo with new speakers for you to enjoy. The gauges sitting behind the four-spoke Z28 steering wheel appear to be new, and if you cast your eyes leftwards and slightly down, you’ll come across the Vintage Air control panel – yes this Camaro appears to have AC! Pop the trunk and it appears to have a little surface rust but that’s easily treatable.

Engine

What powers this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28? Why, it’s the venerable 350ci (5.7L) V8 with four barrel carb that puts out 185hp and 280lb-ft. Remember that this was the Malaise Era, where emissions regulations severely limited what these engines could actually kick out. Nevertheless, it’s all sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports that the car’s electrical system is new.
