Overview of 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 383 Stroker For Sale by Owner

While the Chevrolet Camaro is more associated with the Transformers movies and media, which transformed the car into a pop culture icon, in the Camaro’s early days it was known more for its power and presence on the road, something that it continues to offer. The Chevrolet Camaro is currently on its sixth generation, but this listing is for a second-generation Chevrolet Camaro, also known as the “Super Hugger” due to its ability to stick to curves at exhilarating speeds. Our subject vehicle is such a model but even better, this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 383 Stroker is in immaculate condition and has been in the same family since its original purchase, with the current owner owning it since 1999. This magnificent beast is available to be seen in Michigan and just 44,500 miles on the clock.

Exterior and Interior

This eye-catching 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 383 Stroker is bedecked in an enigmatic silver exterior with a black interior. Acting as its pair of classy shoes are a set of Draglite wheels from Weld Wheels with 10.5” drag radials for the ultimate grip on the road or the drag strip. Factory original wheels with original tires are also available. Considering this is a 40-year-old muscle car, the weather stripping has been completely removed and replaced with the trunk weather stripping never been installed but is still there if you fancy to put it. The frame connectors are a custom affair and are welded on. The interior of this Camaro features full grain leather seats in black with silver leather inserts, leather not just on the front but the rear too. Locks on the doors, trunk, and glove box have been replaced with new ones. The radio and rear speakers have also undergone replacements. This car comes with the original build sheet with matching VIN numbers.

Engine

The best part about this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 383 Stroker are the performance upgrades. Starting off with the engine, the original small block 350 was rebuilt to a 383 Stroker heart. A new TH350 transmission with a shift kit and stall converter were also added. Further enhancing the power of the Stroker, a small block mechanical race pump with a chrome gas line kit has been installed in conjunction with a DynoMax performance header and an Edelbrock aluminum intake with heads, valve covers and air filter covers. A Holly 750 Double Pumper 4-barrel carburetor with a manual choke ensures optimal air/fuel mixture. The alternator and water pump have been fully replaced. An MSD ignition with a distributor kit is also installed. Exhaust gases and sound are jettisoned out of a custom exhaust with mid car turn downs.

2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

Current Ask
$76,500

The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is already one of the most serious modern American performance cars, combining supercharged V8 power, a six-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and Magnetic Ride Control in a package built to run with far more exotic machinery. This example takes that formula several steps further. Showing approximately 16,439 miles, it has been extensively upgraded around a Magnuson 2650 supercharger setup with supporting fuel, valvetrain, exhaust, cooling, and drivetrain hardware. A Satin Black vinyl wrap over Riverside Blue Metallic, aftermarket wheels, BMR springs, an aftermarket spoiler, and an Anderson carbon fiber wing give it the visual presence to match the mechanical work underneath. For the enthusiast who wants a manual ZL1 that goes well beyond bolt-on territory, this is the kind of build that delivers both attitude and substance.

1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Restomod

Current Ask
$67,500

This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s first-generation pony car and backs it with the kind of upgrades that make a classic far more engaging to drive today. Originally finished in blue, it now wears a black exterior and combines vintage Camaro styling with a 383ci stroker V8, American Racing wheels, upgraded braking assistance, power steering, modern instrumentation, and a heavily revised cabin. SS badging and a front lip give it a more aggressive visual attitude, while the Tanaka Racing seats, suede headliner, and B&M shifter push the build well beyond a simple cosmetic refresh. Showing approximately 1,002 miles, this Camaro delivers the look of a late-1960s muscle car with a distinctly more modern restomod personality.

1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado

Current Ask
$21,999

This 1978 Chevrolet C10 Silverado brings together classic square-body styling with a selection of upgrades that give it a more personalized street-truck character. Showing approximately 70,132 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a custom Black and Silver two-tone exterior over a Gray interior, it also features power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, aftermarket wheels, an aftermarket suspension setup, and a center console with cupholders. The result is a distinctly American pickup that keeps the straightforward appeal of the original C10 while adding a cleaner, lower, more customized presentation.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Current Ask
$89,999

The 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible comes from the heart of the C2 era, when the Corvette had already matured into a genuinely serious American sports car without losing the raw character that made the Sting Ray famous. This example leans heavily into that character. Showing 19,053 miles, it pairs a 327ci V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and a four-speed manual transmission, then adds the kind of period-style attitude enthusiasts gravitate toward: side-mount exhaust, knock-off-style turbine wheels, and a vivid Sunfire Yellow finish over a black interior. The current owner reports more than $83,000 invested into the build, with attention extending beyond cosmetics into the cooling system, ignition components, timing hardware, and other supporting mechanical upgrades. What makes this car appealing is that it still delivers the classic C2 experience in the way enthusiasts want it: small-block V8 up front, manual gearbox in the middle, drive going to the rear, and very little standing between the driver and the car. The side pipes give the Corvette a more aggressive presence and soundtrack, while the custom paint and wheel setup emphasize the long-hood, short-deck proportions that made the midyear Corvette one of Chevrolet’s most iconic designs.

2008 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT Z51

Current Ask
$35,000

By 2008, the C6 Corvette had matured into one of the strongest all-around American performance cars of its era, and this example combines the right mechanical hardware with an unusually extensive equipment list. Showing 50,966 miles, this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is equipped with the desirable 3LT Preferred Equipment Group and Z51 Performance Package, pairing the LS3 V8 with a six-speed manual transmission, 3.42:1 limited-slip rear axle, and dual-mode performance exhaust. It was also specified with the GCA Ultimate Package, adding a collection of appearance upgrades that give this Victory Red Corvette a more distinctive presence than a typical C6. An aftermarket front splitter and audio head unit add further personalization while retaining the fundamental character that makes a manual Z51 C6 such an appealing enthusiast car.
