1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 – Documented Rolling Restoration

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has recently completed a thorough rolling restoration. Confirmed by the factory build sheet as a genuine Van Nuys-built Z/28, this numbers-matching example features a factory Muncie 4-speed transmission and Posi-traction rear end. While the engine is believed to be a factory replacement unit from the early 1970s, the car has been meticulously restored with rebuilt mechanicals, refurbished cosmetics, and subtle reliability enhancements. Described as good-looking, nice-sounding, and very pleasant to drive, this Z/28 represents a well-sorted example of Chevrolet’s legendary performance coupe.
