THE CAMARO Z/28

Introduced on September 12, 1966, the Camaro was available either as a coupe or a convertible. Of the nearly 221,000 sold about a quarter were soft tops; three quarters were V8s.
1969 was the final year for the first-generation Camaro, which had been introduced in 1967. Although a redesigned Camaro was due in 1970, the changes in the 1969 were extensive. It was just as well, since the introduction of the 1970 was delayed until late February 1970, giving the 1969 a showroom life of seventeen months. Not surprisingly, it was a record sales year, with more than 243,000 Camaros leaving GM's plants in Lordstown, Ohio and Van Nuys, California.
The desirable Z/28 option cost $458.15 and included the 302ci high performance V-8 engine that met the Trans Am's 5-liter displacement limit rated at 290hp (but routinely delivered pulling 350hp plus on test!)

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

The Camaro offered here rolled out of the Norwood Ohio assembly plant back in the late 1960s and today wears a coat of Le Mans blue paint with white stripes. This Z/28 model is equipped with the Rally Sport package and possesses attractive hideaway headlamps that provide the car with an aggressive look. While the early ownership history is unknown, the vehicle was purchased by the owner in 1974 and had enjoyed the V8 powered machine for many years. The engine bay, while showing some age, is complete with all of the proper components including the 21" radiator, 6 blade clutch fan, and deep grove pulleys. Inside, the close ratio 4-speed is present while a suite of gauges allows the driver to monitor the operation of the vehicle. Furthermore, the seats are clothed in a wonderful ivory hounds tooth fabric which surely provide this Camaro with a touch of style. This is a wonderful example of that is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

Saleroom notices

Please note, the radiator and fan belt assembly have been changed.
