1979 Chevrolet Camaro

INTRODUCTION: What makes this Z28 special is that it's a genuine 22,900 actual mile survivor! Finished in desirable black with gold accents, it has the look that defined performance cars of the late 1970s. What really sets this one apart is how it was ordered: the original owner clearly had muscle in mind, checking the boxes for a 4-speed, 3.73 posi and even deleting the radio altogether. Along with the glovebox manuals it also has an appraisal from 1994 describing it as having only 15,371 original miles at the time. EXTERIOR: This is one of the most attractive and sporty body styles of its era, from every angle, the design works. The distinctive rubber bumper front end is complemented by a lower front spoiler, while the stinger style hood, fender air extractors, sport mirrors, low roofline, and short rear deck all contribute to its aggressive, performance oriented appearance. Out back, the three piece rear spoiler and matching rubber rear bumper complete the look perfectly. What makes this car especially appealing is its originality. The body is all original metal- a true survivor with no rust or accident damage. Finished in its factory black color, it still retains a significant amount of its original paint that presents nicely with a gloss finish but does have expected flaws. It's accented by the gold striping that instantly brings to mind the iconic Bandit Trans Am of the late 1970s. The trim, glass, and weatherstripping have all been exceptionally well preserved, reflecting the care this car has received over the years. Completing the authentic appearance are the original 15-inch body color wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. INTERIOR: Step inside and you'll feel like you've gone back in time. This interior is a genuine time capsule, remarkably original and preserved in excellent, unabused condition. From the carpet to the headliner, it has been cared for exceptionally well. The seats still have their firm factory cushions, and the original upholstery presents beautifully. All of the factory seat belts remain in place, while the carpet has been protected over the years by floor mats. The entire dash area is clean and uncut, featuring the factory instrumentation, including the tachometer. One particularly unique feature is that this is a radio delete car. Unlike so many cars of the era, no one cut holes for speakers, stereos, CBs over the years! The dash remains untouched, preserving its original appearance. Rising from the center console is the highly sought after 4-speed shifter, adding to the car's performance oriented character. Even the typical wear areas show minimal use, helping support the originality and mileage of the car. The headliner is in excellent condition as well. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: What makes this engine compartment special is its originality. This is the original #s matching engine, and it has never been removed from the car. As a result, it retains many of the factory installed components that are often missing after decades of ownership. The complete air cleaner assembly is still in place, including the snorkel and heat riser tube. The overflow bottle, fan shroud, and other factory components remain intact, giving the engine bay an authentic appearance that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. It is also equipped with power steering and power brakes. This isn't a flashy engine compartment filled with chrome and aftermarket parts. Instead, it offers something many collectors value even more: honest originality. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is original and complete, just the way collectors like to find them. The metal is clean and solid, retaining its factory finishes and honest appearance. A carpeted trunk mat covers the floor, and beneath the matching tire cover is the original collapsible spare, the original jack assembly remains properly mounted beneath the rear package shelf. UNDERSIDE: It shows as a remarkably well preserved, rust free example that has been properly maintained throughout its
