Description

A true icon of late-1970s American performance, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 represents a standout opportunity to own a properly restored example of one of Chevrolet’s most recognizable muscle-era designs. Backed by long-term ownership since 2017, this is a TRUE Z28 that delivers the right combination of originality, tasteful upgrades, and strong visual presence.

Originally finished in White, this Camaro has been professionally refinished in Corvette Daytona Blue, complemented by brand new factory-style Z28 graphics that give the car a bold and unmistakable stance. The paint presents beautifully and reflects the care taken during its restoration, making this car equally suited for weekend cruising or local shows.

Under the hood, the car retains its 350 cubic inch V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering the classic driving experience expected from a Z28. The engine has benefited from top-end enhancements, including upgraded valves, camshaft, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and Accel electronic ignition. A stall converter and custom exhaust system with headers further enhance both performance and sound, giving this Camaro a more aggressive tone and feel while maintaining drivability.

Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully updated with blue upholstery and custom diamond-stitched inserts, creating a refined yet period-correct interior environment. The car is also well-optioned, featuring desirable factory equipment such as power windows, power door locks, tilt steering wheel, and rear window defogger. It is equipped with air conditioning, although it should be noted that the system may not currently be functioning.

With a reported 35,000 miles indicated (mileage not guaranteed), this Camaro presents as a well-preserved and restored example with strong curb appeal, desirable options, and the pedigree of a true Z28 model. With production numbers showing just over 84,000 Z28 units produced in 1979, finding one that has been restored and maintained to this level makes it an appealing opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
