There's few cars on the market that can match the sheer athletic looks of the Chevrolet Camaro, and even fewer that have the same kind of aggressive looks that this one does. Exemplifying everything that made the 2nd-Generation Camaro great, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 puts together ground effects, front and rear spoilers, and a punchy small-block V8, this '79 Camaro is the complete package. Powered by a 400 C.I. small-block V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '79 Chevy sounds fantastic with its aftermarket headers! Torque is put to the pavement through a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, which shifts both quick and smooth hooked up to the 10-bolt positraction rear axle. As sweet as they appear, the Camaros of the late 70s and early 80s tend to get overlooked, which is a shame because these Camaros came with some of the coolest decal packages ever equipped from the factory. And, with an original build sheet proving its originality, this '79 Z/28 is about as correct as they come! The exterior's muscular and aggressive bodylines are covered in the same color this Camaro came with from the factory, a gorgeous 19-code "Starlight Black" that reflects like a mirror in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. It looks absolutely fantastic matched up to this car's orange and red stripes as well as its trademark Z/28 decals, ensuring that this Camaro sticks out anywhere it is driven. The undercarriage is very solid as well, with strong floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. Opening the twin doors and stepping inside reveals a good-looking brown vinyl interior, complete with comfy bucket seats and period-updated stereo equipment. Other options on this sweet '79 Chevy include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, an aftermarket Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette radio with matching equalizer, Pioneer speakers, aftermarket headers, a remote mirror, T-Tops, factory gauges, front & rear spoilers, dual sport mirrors, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust system. The car is presented with a pair of matching black 15" Chevrolet rally wheels wrapped with Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a factory-fresh appearance that's sure to turn heads! As slick as this Camaro appears, it runs and drives down the interstate even better. The 2nd-generation Camaro is legendary in every sense of the word, so don't let this fantastic example pass you by!
