This 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 showcases its heritage in dark blue, a color that amplifies its aggressive stance and sleek lines. The long hood and short deck proportions define the classic Camaro silhouette, while Z/28 decals streak along the flanks, announcing its performance pedigree. Sitting on 15-inch wheels wrapped in beefy 245/60R15 BFGoodrich tires, this Camaro looks ready for action. The cowl induction hood adds a subtle yet muscular touch to the front end, hinting at the power within. From its pointed nose to its sculpted rear, this '80 Z/28 embodies the bold American styling that made the Camaro a legend on streets and tracks alike.
Inside, the blue cloth interior transports you back to 1980 with remarkable authenticity. Bucket seats flank a center console, creating a driver-focused cockpit. The dash retains its classic Camaro layout, now augmented with modern digital gauges for enhanced engine monitoring. An upgraded AM/FM stereo provides the soundtrack, while the factory instrumentation keeps tabs on vital stats. The most significant interior upgrade is immediately apparent: a Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual shifter rises from the console, promising a more engaging driving experience than the original automatic.
Lift the hood to reveal the beating heart of this Z/28: a 350 cubic inch V8 engine. While it may have started life as a smog-era powerplant, it's been given new life with performance upgrades. An Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor sits atop the intake, feeding fuel and air to the hungry small block. Long-tube headers expel spent gases through a throaty dual exhaust system. Keeping things cool is an aluminum radiator paired with electric fans. The aforementioned Tremec 5-speed transmission, installed in 2021, sends power to a sturdy 10-bolt rear end. This drivetrain combination offers a perfect blend of classic muscle and modern drivability.
