Used 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe There is a certain hesitation people seem to feel just before they slide behind the distinctive wheel of a Z28 for the first time. An inescapable awe at such technological capability confronting the forces of physics and nature. It is an emotion few people forget. Yet it evaporates with the turn of the key as all this performance thunders to life. Another driver is admitted into that exclusive club of Z28 pilots who know that this is not a car you merely drive. It's a car you put on and wear with such authority that it changes your life together. Lofty prose from the 1984 Camaro sales brochure. For consignment, a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with a title verified 16,596 actual miles. Maybe you pined for a Z28 back in high school, then settled down, had some kids, a job, and daily routine. Well, now's your chance to get the car of your dreams with this proverbial time capsule from the 80's! Exterior Without a doubt, red, white, and this car's color, Black were the three most popular Z28 colors in 1984, the year with the largest third gen Camaro production. Naturally, the Z features the distinctive silver band rocker panel topped by two tone gray striping that encircles the car and enhances the appearance of a lean and low stance. Deep set quad headlights front a hood that features a unique and now recognizable faux hood scoop stamped in and painted flat black. In back, black bisected three color tail lights are tucked under a streamlined wing and over the black bumper cover while 15-inch 5 spoke wheels set you apart from base Camaros. What all Camaros share is the F-body's long hood and sloping, curving rear glass, here fully tinted. Imperfections include a few chips in the paint, a few spots where the paint is not smooth, chips at wheel openings, an uneven spot under the stripe decal, flex cracks in the front apron as well as some chips and various scuffs. Interior Geometrical patterns were a big deal in the 80's and our interior is replete with a diagonal line design that begins on the door panels mixing Light Sand and black, accented perfectly by the black door hardware and both left and right presently cleanly. The seats borrow that design and apply it to the sides, framing a beige vinyl central band of the buckets in a striking presentation which is mirrored on the 2+2's in back, and all four seats are in great condition. Our pre airbag steering wheel has three wide spokes and a black wrapped rim, fronting a simple instrument cluster behind a black textured faceplate while an AM/FM radio and vent panel occupy the center stack. Fairly no frills here, but this is how we rolled! Our center console is spectacularly clean and so is the shifter and it resides over clean beige carpet below. Up top, the overhead console is fantastically vintage and the headliner around it remains very nice. Gray carpet floods the cargo area which has sides finished with plastic panels. Drivetrain Whistle clean is how we find the 305ci HO V8, carbureted with 4 barrels and rated at 150 horsepower, but the girls didn't care about those numbers if you were rocking a Z28, even if the boys on Front Street did! The 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle with 3.73 gears. Undercarriage For a 42 year old car, it's pretty astounding underneath and a testament to the low mileage. There's surface rust and metal oxidation that time is going to trigger, but otherwise it's a trip back to '84. The single exhaust runs through the original muffler and exits via dual angle-cut tailpipes. Power disc brakes are supplied to all four wheels and coil springs are also at both ends with a torque arm accompanying in back. Drive-Ability All systems go for this unmolested 80's muscle car as the 5.0 liter comes to life and the 4-speed propels us around the test loop in fine style. No complaints here as the simplicity of the car is what makes it enjoyable and the functionality test co
