Here is a real-deal 1979 Camaro Z28 4-speed. This second-generation version represents a car that remains relatively affordable yet is much more refined than earlier Camaros. It has a great look with its Bright Blue paint and Z28 styling. And with its numbers-matching 350ci small block and 4-speed transmission, it is also a load of fun to drive as it takes you back to the 1970s.

This is a genuine Los Angeles-built Z28 with its original trim tag displaying the correct 8 code. The car has been repainted in its original code 24 Bright Blue paint and also received new Z28 graphics. Other recent work includes replacement of the radiator support (a common issue on these cars) and the fuel tank. The factory front air dam and fender flares give the car a more aggressive look along with the faux side fender ports and hood scoop. There is also a 3-piece rear spoiler and body colored 15 wheels with new Cooper Cobra tires.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350ci small block V8 with a few performance parts including an Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetor. The dual exhaust features ceramic coated headers and is void of catalytic converters. The engine is backed by the numbers-matching Super T10 4-speed transmission which represents only about 10% of production for the 1979 model year. The rear end has been changed to a highway-friendly 2.73 ratio with Positraction. Other factory equipment includes the F41 sport suspension along with power steering and power front disc brakes.

The blue cloth interior retains a stock Z28 appearance throughout with the exception of a Clarion in-dash AM/FM/cassette player which looks right at home in a 1970s muscle car. Bucket seats flank the floor shifter which still has a functional reverse lockout and backdrive (must be in reverse to remove the key). A new molded carpet was just installed too. Note the correct rope steering wheel with Z28 horn button. The gauges, headlights, tail lights, brake lights, backup lights, and turn signals are all functional. Same with the horn, radio, wipers, heater / defroster, and parking brake. Finally, the trunk includes the original jack and space saver spare with CO2 canister!

Camaros have always been popular with collectors and enthusiasts alike. And while first generation Z28 models have pushed well beyond the $100,000 mark, the second-generation cars remain within reach of most buyers while offering a much more refined platform. This example captures all the spirit of the era while providing an exhilarating ride as you shift through the gears and get on down the road.
