Exterior and Condition: The exterior of this Camaro Z/28 is finished in British Green (Paint Code ZZ), a color that perfectly complements its bold styling. The white racing stripes, which are positioned as per original specifications, add to the vehicle’s iconic muscle car look. The car has been repainted in its original color by the previous owner, and the MacNeish report confirms the paint is correct. Some minor imperfections around the rear window were professionally addressed under the current owner’s stewardship, but overall, the car’s paint and finish present excellently, with a lustrous shine.
The Camaro rides on 15-inch Steel Rally wheels, mounted with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, providing both style and performance. The suspension remains in stock configuration, and the car features a 12-bolt Positraction rear end with 4.10:1 gears, which offers excellent traction and handling.
Interior: The black interior of this Camaro is in great condition, maintaining its original style with bucket seats and woodgrain trim accents on the dashboard and steering wheel. The factory-installed AM/FM Delco radio remains in place, and a Hurst shifter has been added for improved driving experience. The original shifter is included with the car. The dashpad and carpeting were replaced, and the interior retains its original, well-maintained components, showing the 62,000 miles on the odometer. Notably, the car’s interior is free of any significant wear or damage.
Engine and Performance: Powering this Z/28 is the legendary 302 cubic inch V8 engine, originally built to comply with SCCA Trans-Am Series rules. With solid lifters, a forged crankshaft, and an 11.0:1 compression ratio, the engine produces 290 horsepower in its stock form. In the last year, the engine has received routine maintenance, including an oil change and tune-up, ensuring that it runs smoothly and delivers the power expected from a high-performance muscle car.
The engine is mated to a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, allowing for precise shifting and an engaging driving experience. The transmission is linked to a Positraction rear differential with 4.10:1 gears, providing both power and traction, especially under spirited driving conditions.
Service History and Documentation: The current owner has kept detailed service records, including receipts for work completed during their ownership. The car was originally delivered to a Chevrolet dealership, and the included original order form and Jerry MacNeish certificate confirm the vehicle’s authenticity as a factory-built Z/28. The car’s original floor pans, transmission, and rear axle remain intact, as documented in the MacNeish report. The factory 302ci V8 engine, while not original to the car, is a period-correct replacement that continues to perform as intended.
Condition Summary: This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is an outstanding example of a classic American muscle car, retaining its original features while benefiting from the maintenance and attention of its current owner. The car’s iconic styling, paired with its high-performance 302ci V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission, make it an ideal choice for collectors and driving enthusiasts.
