One-Owner 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 – 14k-Mile Survivor w/ GM Crate 350 V8, Flowmaster Exhaust & Original Docs

This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a highly original, one-owner example with just 14,200 miles showing on the odometer. Originally ordered by the seller’s father while the owner was deployed in the Navy, the car was preserved with great care from day one and has remained covered and stored indoors since 2002, seeing occasional outings only for car shows. Finished in a factory-correct two-tone color scheme with hand-painted striping under clearcoat, this Z28 blends originality with tastefully executed updates, including a GM Target Master 350ci V8 with a high-performance cam, a four-barrel carburetor, and a Flowmaster dual exhaust system.

The sale includes the original window sticker, build sheet, owner’s manual, and warranty booklet, adding to its documented provenance.

History & Background

This Camaro Z28 was ordered new by the seller’s father while the seller was serving in the U.S. Navy. Upon returning home, the car was presented to the owner in pristine condition and was immediately garage-kept, covered with blankets and protected from the elements. The car remained in the family and has been used sparingly, showing only 14k miles from new.

Mechanical Highlights

Power is delivered by a GM Target Master 350ci V8, installed in 1992 and upgraded with a 327-horsepower camshaft and 4-barrel carburetor, offering a performance bump while maintaining daily drivability. The exhaust was upgraded in 2010 with a Flowmaster dual muffler setup, giving the car a throaty, period-correct muscle tone. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the drivetrain is said to remain solid and well-maintained.

Exterior

In 1994, the car underwent a high-quality respray in California, matching the original factory color and decal layout. Instead of vinyl decals, the iconic Z28 striping was painted by hand and finished in clearcoat, giving the car a show-quality gloss while preserving its factory-correct appearance. The original gold inlay turbine wheels remain with the car, now fitted with new center hubs. Body panels appear straight, and chrome and trim pieces are intact.

Interior

The cabin is largely original and well-preserved, showing light wear consistent with mileage and age. The headliner and driver’s seat upholstery are the only noted items in need of attention; replacement visors from Classic Industries are included in the trunk, ready for installation. Factory gauges, switchgear, and trim remain intact and functional, highlighting the car’s low-mileage status.

Additional Details

The car comes with extensive documentation, including:

• Original window sticker

• Owner’s manual

• Build sheet

• Warranty booklet

• Photos and paperwork documenting restoration details and mechanical upgrades

Stored continuously indoors and only taken out for shows since 2002, this Z28 remains in impressive cosmetic and mechanical condition.

Summary

This one-owner, low-mileage 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a rare find—especially with its combination of factory originality, tasteful performance upgrades, and detailed documentation. With just over 14k miles and a period-correct drivetrain enhanced for more performance, this Z28 is an ideal acquisition for collectors seeking a genuine, unmolested second-generation Camaro with authentic family history and classic muscle presence.
