This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a matching numbers example finished in red with Z28 graphics over a black and houndstooth interior, presenting as a well maintained American muscle coupe that has reportedly benefited from extensive maintenance and improvement works during long term ownership. Powered by its original 5.7 litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 138kW (185hp), paired with a 4 speed manual transmission, the odometer currently displays 90,012 miles TMU.


Introduced as the performance flagship of the second generation Camaro range, the Z28 combined aggressive styling with V8 performance and became one of the defining American muscle cars of the late 1970s. Featuring revised suspension tuning, distinctive graphics packages, front and rear spoilers, and a driver focused cockpit, the Z28 continued Chevrolet’s performance legacy during an era increasingly shaped by emissions regulations and changing fuel economy standards.


Finished in red with contrasting Z28 decals, this example presents with period styling cues including front and rear spoilers, bonnet scoop detailing, and polished Australian Racing wheels wrapped in new tyres. The interior features black and houndstooth trimmed seating, a centre console mounted manual shifter, aftermarket head unit, and factory instrumentation. According to the seller, the original Camaro stereo is included in a box with the sale.


According to the seller, the Camaro has remained unrestored but has received significant maintenance and refurbishment work throughout the past 14 years of ownership. Works reportedly include a front suspension overhaul, new brakes, gas shock absorbers, upgraded three core radiator, extractors, replacement carpets, new hood lining, boot carpet, and new rubber door seals. The seller advises the vehicle has recently been serviced and drives very well mechanically.


Exterior presentation appears strong overall in the supplied images, with bright paintwork and clean trim complementing the car’s muscular proportions. Interior presentation also appears tidy, with only minor wear visible consistent with age and use. Included in the sale are receipts relating to works completed during ownership, the original build sheet, workshop manual, original Chevrolet owner’s manual, and import documentation.
