When the Chevrolet Camaro was introduced as a 1967 model, Trans Am racing was in its heyday, and adding the Z28 option got the buyer a race-worthy performance package right from the factory.  The first-generation Z28 came with an upgraded suspension and a high-performance small-block 302 cubic inch V8, advertised as having 290 horsepower, although that number is claimed to be underrated.  For 1969, Chevy produced over 20,000 Z28 examples, far more than either of the previous 2 years, so while the ’69 model is the most common of the first-generation Zs it’s still a very coveted F-Body.  If you’ve been in the market for an early Z28 project that’s already had quite a bit of the hard work completed, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 might be a good one to take a look at.   The car is located in Concord, Massachusetts, and is for sale here on eBay with a current bid of $31,900.  The reserve price has not yet been reached.

The current owner has had the car for the last 12 years and has done work on it here and there during that time, but he’s anticipating moving and wants to pair down his automotive fleet.  He says that the Z is a code 76 Daytona Yellow car, with new GM quarters in place, a new roof skin, NOS GM rear body panel, with the original trunk and spoiler still in place.  All of the sheet metal on the nose is from a donor, and while there are some dents upfront the seller says there’s no rust on it.

The closest we get to an interior shot are photos of both of the inside doors, which are said to be original and in need of some minor rust repair in the bottom corners.  They’re both missing the skins, but new PUI door panels are included, along with quarter trim and front seat covers.  No word on the condition of the dash, instruments, or anything else inside, other than the seat cores are in great shape.  The heater boxes are also said to be solid.

Underneath the Z28 is where things start to get interesting, with everything looking neat and tidy down below.  The seller believes the car was raced in the ’70s, and the floors were cut away back then to make room for a tube chassis.  In place now are new floors, new rockers, and a rear dynacom mini tub kit.  The brake lines and fuel lines are also new, and the gas tank has been cleaned and lined.  The seller also mentions that most of the original drivetrain was discarded.

The 302 under the hood has been rebuilt with GM parts to original factory specs.  The transmission is an M20 dated 1969, with the correct shifter and stick in excellent used condition.  Outback is a 12 bolt rear-end with a new Eaton positraction and 4:10 gears, so taking off from a standstill could be a pretty harrowing experience if you’re not careful.  What are your thoughts on this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28?
