1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd, 76,000 miles, red with black interior. 350, close-ratio 4spd, 3:73 rear-axle ratio. The original owner had kept the vehicle until 1998 before selling to the gentleman that I purchased it from. The car is absolutely 100% rust-free with all it's original metal and paint/decals. All numbers-matching. The interior is 100% original and in excellent condition right down to the Delco AM/FM cassette radio and GM floor mats. There have never been any added tachs, gauges, etc. ever. I have documentation including the build sheet, owner's manual, sales agreement, tire/battery warranty, etc. This has been an adult-owned, well cared for Z28. The previous owner had a very high-dollar custom 406 small-block professionally built by "A&R Racing" in Virginia. He had removed the perfect-running 350 and preserved it. The engine swap, Griffin radiator, aluminum drive shaft, full flowmaster 3 in. exhaust, and Competition Engineering "slide-a-link" traction product have been the only modifications to the car. Everything had been very tastefully done purely for improved driveability and performance deserving of the Z28 name. The previous owner bought the car to drive and felt that the car was too sharp looking to have a low horsepower 350 under the hood. Therefore, he upgraded the engine rather than take away from the originality of the 350 by adding bolt-ons. The original 350 would just need to be cleaned/detailed and would be ready to reinstall, if so desired. The car can be easily returned back to it's original state quickly, right down to the original drive shaft and factory exhaust with the original GM catalytic converter which are also included with the car. I had also taken it upon myself to add color-keyed Z28 wheels to enhance the appearance. I have also saved the factory gold Z28 wheels which I will also include. I have seen many F-bodies of this generation and can honestly say with 100% confidence that this is one of the nicest all-original cars I've seen. As stated above, there have been NO wrecks, NO rust, and the body is 100% original with every panel it left the assembly plant with. The doors open and close beautifully and with ease. There are a couple of dings/imperfections, however I chose not to repair them as I wanted to keep the paint and body as original as possible. Needed repairs...the air cleaner stud on the carburetor will need replacement. I have included links below for a FaceBook photo album as well as a walk-around video. The video shows how easily the car starts, how it sounds, how easily the doors open/close, etc. in order to give the most accurate representation of the car possible. This car is TURN-KEY....buy with confidence. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10203618216429286.1073741847.1032325485&type=1&l=394f963316 https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10203603377898332&l=722499120825527995 Here are some specs on the 406 engine by A&R; The engine makes a very honest 510-hp and 490 ft-lbs of torque @6800 rpm. The engine has only the best components; custom solid camshaft, internally balanced forged callies 4340 crankshaft, 4340 forged 6" rods with floated pins, custom forged 10.5:1 flat-top pistons with ultra-lite pins...the list goes on. Many hours were spent on the Canfield aluminum cylinder heads and the Team-G intake manifold topped with a blueprinted Holley from the Carb Shop in California. The radiator is a Griffen custom-fit "use your original GM top support" radiator with two rows of 1.25 intubing that allows the engine to maintain 160 degrees. Everything has been done in as close to factory manor as possible right down to the 3" custom-bent flowmaster exhaust. NOTHING on this car was disturbed or hacked whatsoever !
