1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Tribute

Description

You already know the premium price a rare 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 commands. But for true drivers out there, we want classic that looks just a nice, but without the headache and worry of taking a nearly irreplaceable rarity on the open road. So when you can find a fateful tribute that has a performance built 448 hp V8, and upgraded suspension to blow the doors off even Z cars, you know this loaded custom coupe is the right way to really have fun.

No other car wears racing stripes as well as a Z/28 Camaro; they practically define the legend. But this tribute coupe does it with its own flair. It starts with a modern application of an aggressive red. The gloss and shine might draw people in, but it's the straightness of the metal that first really impress people. It's part of a solid investment in new fenders and quarter panels even before the red was applied. On top of that you have all the best Z/28 gear, including the cowl induction hood, new badging, and D80 rear spoiler. And of course, those dual stripes painted on top. But while most of these are rendered in white or black, the bright silver stripes are a nice hint that this one is a bit special. Another subtle clue at this car's added performance is the extra wide rear tire setup disguised as part of the correct 15-inch Rally wheel package.

More investment in this Camaro is evident the moment you open the door. Black interiors are always the best color for an aggressive muscle machine like this, and the deep dark color is on the bucket seats, door panels, carpeting, headliner, and dash. While this Camaro has all the vintage elements you love, like the center console with iconic horseshoe shifter, you quickly start to notice plenty of other upgrades. For example, there are nice modern conveniences such as an AM/FM/CD stereo, and ice-cold modern R134a air conditioning pumping through the original Astro ventilation system. While these make for a great classic that can be enjoyed with family and friends, the best upgrades are reserved just for you. When you get in this coupe, you're greeted by a new Grant three-spoke sports steering wheel. Just beyond that is a large speedo with an upgraded AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach and shift light mounted on the steering column. This is a clear indication that there's something special under the hood even before you twist the key and hear it growl.

You might have noticed that this Z/28 tribute correctly advertises a 302 cubic-inch V8 on the cowl, but that's a bit of a fib. This one is running a larger 357ci motor, and that's just the tip of the upgrades. The V8 presents nicely with the polished air topper and valve covers radiating from within the tidy dark engine bay, and within this style is some serious substance. The motor has been fortified with go-fast goodies such as a steel crank, steel rods, forged short dome pistons, GM Bowtie heads with w/stainless 202 intake & 160 exhaust valves, Harland Sharp roller rockers, Comp Cams camshaft, Accel HEI ignition, Edelbrock Victor Jr, Intake, and Demon 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor. There's just so much more to list that we can't do it here, so call for all the details. Just know this has been dynoed at 448 horsepower, and the Header-fed dual exhaust announces this power superiority to the world with a thunderous roar. Making sure all this enhanced power gets to the ground is a new TH350 three-speed built by Cooks Racing Transmissions, a 4150 chrome moly driveshaft, and a stout Ford 9-inch rear end with strange axles and 3.55 gears. Out on the road, this one handles even better than a Z car. That's thanks to components like new poly bushings up front, double-adjustable coilovers in the ladder bar rear end, and four-wheel disc brakes. Even if you just want to use this monster machine for the everyday commute, it has features like power steering and an aluminum radiator to keep this one feeling smooth during everyday situations.

Complete with a ton of build receipts and restoration photos, this is the Z/28 tribute that surpasses the legend. But there's only one of these turnkey speed machines up for grabs. So you might want to hurry if you want it to be yours. Call now!!
