This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was acquired by the current owner in 1999 and subsequently modified with a Weiand 177 supercharger, a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Hilborn-style chrome air scoop, and an aftermarket camshaft and lifters as well as Hedman Hedders ceramic-coated exhaust headers, a Mallory Comp Pump fuel pump, a Griffin aluminum radiator, and a stainless-steel power brake booster with a chrome primary cylinder. The car is finished in white with red and orange stripes over Carmine vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes a modified cowl hood, removable glass roof panels, integrated front and rear spoilers, 15″ Cragar wheels, front disc brakes, a Sony CD stereo, an Alpine amplifier, and aftermarket speakers as well as power windows, mirrors, and door locks. This supercharged Camaro Z28 is now offered with an owner’s manual, a binder of documents, and a clean Ohio title in the name of the seller’s spouse.
The car is finished in white with red and orange Z28 graphics. The seller states a dent on the door was repaired, areas of paint were touched up, and the body was refinished with a Cadillac pearl coat and clear coat under current ownership. Exterior details include removable glass roof panels, fender vents, integrated front and rear spoilers, and a cowl hood with a cutout for the chrome scoop.
Chrome 15″ Cragar S/S wheels are mounted with staggered-width Mickey Thompson tires measuring 25×8″ in the front and 28×12″ in the rear. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs with slotted and cross-drilled rotors as well as rear drums.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Carmine vinyl upholstery that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional appointments include a Sony CD stereo, an Alpine amplifier, aftermarket speakers, Z28-branded carpeted floor mats, front shoulder belts, and rear lap belts as well as power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
The rope-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 25k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added under current ownership.
The 350ci V8 is equipped with a Weiand 177 supercharger kit in addition to a Holley 750-cfm carburetor and a Hilborn-style chrome air scoop. Additional equipment is said to include a mid-range camshaft and valve lifters as well as Hedman Hedders ceramic-coated headers, a Mallory Comp Pump fuel pump, a Griffin aluminum radiator, and a stainless-steel power-assisted brake booster with a chrome primary cylinder. An oil change was performed approximately 300 miles ago.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The car is equipped with a dual exhaust system.
