1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 4213 Miles Fathom Green Coupe 302 V8 4 Speed Manual

Looking at the collector car market over the past several years, it's obvious that there are few safer places to park some cash than in a 1969 Camaro of any kind. They aren't skyrocketing in value like the Hemis did, so you won't lose your shirt overnight, but buying a quality example like this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is about as safe as any investment gets. Few collector cars can deliver the same promise. This beautifully restored Z/28 is finished... in its original code 57 Fathom Green with white stripes, and looks like a million bucks. The comprehensive restoration returned a solid original car to better-than-new condition in every way, with outstanding gaps and paint that would make a GM designer in 1969 weak in the knees. The restorer took no liberties, and everything is as it was when the car was delivered new, including the quarter panel trim, bright bumpers with oversized optional bumper guards, and the traditional ducktail spoiler out back. The cowl induction hood is a steel piece that remains fully functional, feeding the high-winding 302 a steady diet of cool, clean air from the base of the windshield. The stripes follow the correct pattern, narrow at the front and wider at the rear so that they appear parallel when viewed from the front. All the chrome and stainless is fresh, and it wears correct badges in all the right places. It's worth noting that all the sheetmetal is original save the right front fender, which is why there is no antenna; they decided not to install it and mar that beautiful paint job. The code 723 Dark Green bucket seat interior is anything but basic, and the green-on-green combination is rather unusual for a Z/28. Fresh seat covers, including the federally-mandated headrests, were installed when the car was restored, but with about 3800 miles since it was completed, everything is still very fresh inside. This car is loaded with options, including a lovely woodgrained center console with white-faced auxiliary gauges and a correct AC tach with a 6000 RPM redline. There have been no deviations from stock in this high-point F-body, so that means the original AM/FM radio remains in the dash, the base steering wheel still manages the front wheels, and there are matching Z/28 logo floor mats protecting the carpets. In back, the spotless trunk offers correct spatter-finish paint and includes a reproduction mat and a full-sized spare tire assembly with jack. The Z/28's legendary DZ-code 302 cubic inch V8 was created by stuffing a 283 crank inside a 327 block, and the over-square design means the Z love to rev. Some of GM's best-flowing heads were installed up top to feed the snarling small block, and an oversized carburetor makes sure it doesn't starve. Expertly detailed for show, the engine bay shows Chevy Orange paint on the block, proper finned aluminum valve covers, and reproduction hoses and clamps throughout. Even the original exhaust manifolds were retained and left raw, so they look just like they would have moments after rolling off the transporter. All Z/28s were 4-speeds and this one has a rugged 12-bolt out back with 3.73s inside, as well as a correct transverse exhaust system and a new gas tank. Four Rally brand new wheels wear 215/70/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials that look racy on this very serious Camaro. Beautifully finished and an absolute blast to drive, this is an extremely high-quality Z/28 that probably counts as an investment but remains ready to drive. It's also documented with a reproduction window sticker and invoice, restoration photos, manuals, and other important pieces of paper. Don't miss this chance and call today!
