Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 For Sale by Owner

Chevrolet’s second-generation Camaro had a tough task, living up to the success of the first-generation. Produced between 1970 to 1981, it had a long model run, and was a totally redesigned car. With classic Camaros and muscle cars in general becoming increasingly sought after, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a good chance to get in on the Camaro action. It’s mileage is unknown, but don’t let that put you off, as it’s a lovely Z28 variant with a crate motor that should offer much more power than was stock in emissions-regulated 1979.

Exterior and Interior

The second-generation Camaro gained all-new styling and sat on the GM F-platform. This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 wears a bright white paintjob with blue stripes sporting the Z28 lettering in black. It’s got the iconic wrap-around rear windscreen, and wears a set of white-lettered Cooper Cobra Radial T/A tires wrapped around white Z28 center-capped wheels. A prominent ducktail spoiler adorns the rear deck. The undercarriage looks in decent condition, as does the body. All light lenses are suitably clear as well. The interior features a dark blue color theme, with two individual seats for driver and front passenger, and a bench seat behind them for up to two adult passengers, however headroom may be a little tight in the rear due to the stylish sloping design. This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is well specced, featuring an AM/FM radio with cassette player that looks to be from a later generation, four-spoke Z28 steering wheel, and clear instrumentation. The speedometer on this 1979 example goes up to 130mph; from 1980 onwards, the 85-mph speedometer was federally mandated on all automobiles sold in America. Door cards appear in good condition as well, with manual window winders and arm rests.

Engine

This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 will have come with a 350ci (5.7L) V8 from factory, but Seventies emissions regulations will have severely strangled it. In fact, around 180hp was the output, which was positively piffling for a muscle car. Thankfully, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 has received a new 350ci crate motor that should put out far healthier power and torque figures to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.

Few classic American muscle cars carry the kind of provenance and personal history found with this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro X11 “Z/28 Tribute.” Finished in iconic Hugger Orange with black striping, this documented one-owner Camaro has remained within the same family since new and is accompanied by its original bill of sale, protect-o-plate, title documentation, and dealership paperwork — the kind of provenance that significantly elevates collectability and long-term value in today’s classic car market.

According to the owner, the Camaro has been part of the family since his mother purchased it new for his father in 1969, later becoming the car he learned to drive in, attended high school with, and even used during award-winning car show appearances. Preserved in climate-controlled storage and meticulously cared for throughout its life, this Camaro represents far more than just a classic muscle car — it’s a deeply documented piece of American automotive history with an authenticity and ownership story that simply cannot be replicated.

Do you ever wish you could go back in time 30 years? With this 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, 30 years ago is today. Showing only 27 miles, this example remains a true time capsule that looks, feels, and even presents as though it has just rolled off the showroom floor. Original paper tags, factory paint dabs, and marker inspection marks remain visible throughout the engine bay and undercarriage, preserving the authenticity of what may be one of the most original and lowest-mileage C4 ZR-1 examples known. While every ZR-1 represents an important chapter in Corvette history, this particular example is suited for the collector seeking a benchmark-level representation of Chevrolet’s “King of the Hill” performance flagship. The final production year for the C4 ZR-1, 1995 saw only 448 examples produced, and this car is documented as number 352. Adding to its significance is its rare dual Dunn head configuration, a feature reportedly found on only 130 later-production 1995 ZR-1 models. According to accompanying documentation, this combination makes this example exceptionally rare, with its 27-mile odometer reading making it an especially unique piece of Corvette history. Documented with a clean Carfax, original window sticker still attached to the windshield, second window sticker, build sheet, ZR-1 owner’s manual packet, Corvette literature, factory accessories, and additional documentation, this Corvette represents an extraordinary opportunity to preserve one of Chevrolet’s most technologically advanced performance cars of the era.
