1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is one of the most iconic American muscle cars ever built, representing the peak of first-generation Camaro performance and style. Introduced as part of Chevrolet’s Trans-Am racing homologation efforts, the Z/28 package was designed to compete in the SCCA’s 5.0-liter class, which limited engine displacement to 302 cubic inches. To meet this requirement, Chevrolet engineers combined a 327-cubic-inch small-block crankshaft with a 283-cubic-inch engine block to create the high-revving 302 V8, officially rated at 290 horsepower—though real output was closer to 360 hp. The 1969 model year brought a more aggressive restyle, with a longer, lower look, deeply inset grille, and muscular fender lines that gave the car its signature stance. Performance options included a close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission, power front disc brakes, and the famous dual stripes running over the hood and decklid. Though it wasn’t the most powerful Camaro of its time, the Z/28’s balance of speed, handling, and race-bred engineering made it a favorite among enthusiasts and racers alike. Today, the 1969 Camaro Z/28 is highly prized by collectors and stands as a defining example of late-’60s American performance design.

This 1969 Camaro Z28 has undergone a full rotisserie restoration and is beautifully refinished in Hugger Orange with painted white stripes over a black vinyl interior, creating a timeless and striking color combination. As one of the most sought-after muscle cars of its era, the 1969 Z28 is renowned for its rarity and performance pedigree—produced in limited numbers and specifically designed for Trans-Am racing homologation. This example features its numbers-matching 290hp 302 high-performance engine paired with a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission and the original 12-bolt 4.10 Positraction rear end, delivering the pure driving experience that made the Z28 legendary. Certified by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish, this car retains an exceptional amount of its original factory components, further underscoring its authenticity and collector appeal.
