1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Description

In 1967 Chevrolet introduced a stylish new coupe that, along with the Corvette, would come to define the brand's successful foray into motorsports and performance. And, as we've all come to know, the Camaro, backing timeless two-door style with an array V8 powerplants, was a legend in the making! At RK Motors Charlotte we take pride in specializing in exclusive, world class classics. And that's why we're proud to feature this MacNeish-certified Camaro Z/28. Wrapping a numbers-matching drivetrain in correct red and black aesthetics, this retro wonder is a glorious trip back to the days of Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday!

GARNET GEM

The beneficiary of a ground-up restoration that spared absolutely no expense, this clean Chevy is a choice collectible that currently presents much better than any factory original. During the car's precise reboot, solid sheetmetal was massaged into great alignment, layered in correct Garnet Red two-stage and streaked with ominous Rally Stripes. And today, one close look at our high-resolution photos reveals a handsome payoff in the form of one slick Chevrolet muscle car! At the front of this Panther, a silver grille hangs a tough “Z/28” badge between clear headlights, a guarded bumper, clear parking lamps and a requisite D80 chin spoiler. Above that grille, a Camaro-branded header leads a familiar, “302” branded Cowl Induction Hood. At the sides of that hood, a sculpted profile cants optional quarter louvers amid polished door handles, stainless rocker guards and factory Camaro badging. At the top of that facade, polished mirrors reflect a factory-tint greenhouse that's sealed in straight stainless trim. And at the back of the car, a Camaro-branded trunk tilts a second D80 spoiler over textured taillights, a fourth “Z/28” emblem and a second guarded bumper.

FIFTY-FIVE YEARS STRONG!

Even if you forget everything else we tell you about this Camaro, be sure to pay VERY close attention to what's under the car's hood. Motivating this real-deal Z/28 is an original, MacNeish-certified 302 that, despite an official rating of just 290 horsepower, punched out something close to 375 horses straight from the factory! Savvy collectors will quickly locate the numbers-matching 302's correct 3970010 casting number, correct “DZ” suffix stamp and matching 650600 partial VIN. Casual observers will be quick to notice the mill's Z/28-exclusive Corvette valve covers. And everyone will start to vibe when air and fuel flow from a correct 4053 Holley 4-barrel into a hot Winters intake that's framed by requisite double hump cylinder heads! A traditional point distributor sequences sparks through quality MSD Street Fire Wires. Spent gases fall through coated Hooker Competition tubes. And the entire engine compartment, from its factory fender flaps and bright decals to its Chevy Orange engine block and Satin Black fenders, is clean, attractive and ready to roll!

AS IT WERE

That small block spins an original, MacNeish-certified 4-speed, which hangs a correct 3925660 casting number in front of a Muncie (P) M21 (B) assembled on May (E) 9th (09) 1969 (9) build stamp and matching 650600 partial VIN. That transmission twists an original, MacNeish-certified 12-bolt, which displays a familiar 3894860NF casting number beside a 12-bolt/posi-trac/3.73 (BU) assembly code and a May (05) 19th (19) Detroit Gear & Axle second shift (G2) assembly sequence. That rear end pushes a factory-spec suspension that's been fully rebuilt and meticulously restored. Exhaust travels through aluminized pipes to an H-shaped crossover and throaty Flowmaster mufflers. Turns come courtesy of factory-style power steering. Power-assisted discs and drums provide quick and reliable stops. And everything rolls on dressed Rally Wheels that spin 215/65R15 BF Goodrich radial T/As.

SETTING THE STANDARD

The Standard Black Interior hiding behind this Camaro's glossy doors is a correct factory affair that, 55 years after its debut, is still both stylish and cool. Tall bucket seats frame a wood-trimmed console that's finished with 4-pack accessory gauges and a polished Hurst shifter. In front of that island, a wood-trimmed dash hangs stainless-trimmed foot pedals below rebuilt factory telemetry and modern audio. That seat, dash and console trifecta is completely framed by a tight headliner, fade-free side panels and clean carpet. And the driver spins a reproduction Chevrolet Rally Wheel.

So, there you have it: a rare, fully-documented piece of Chevrolet history that features an original, highly exclusive small block. Call, click or visit http://www.RKMotors.com for more information on this MacNeish-certified Z/28!
