78 Camaro Z28 - 12,000 actual miles

Restraint alone didn’t keep this 78 Camaro Z28 this nice, though—a nice indoor home did just as much. Rubber trim parts, the dash pad and other items which wither in UV light are as new, and the all the taillights need is a dusty box to call them NOS pieces. Dig the original dealer badge on the rear bumper, proudly calling out Southview Chevrolet in Inver Grove Heights, MN as the original selling dealer. Sitting inside is like taking a trip back to 1978. Check out the “simulated rope” steering wheel that was standard on the Z/28. Who knew such a thing existed? But here it is, mint! The seats are perfect, the dash is unblemished and the carpet is clean.

Mechanically this 1978 Camaro Z28 in great shape and is as close to original as you’re going to find in anything built during the Carter administration. A new battery and cables join new coolant hoses for drivability’s sake, but the VAST majority of components are original down to the belts and spark plug wires. Cosmetically the engine compartment and undercarriage are very nice, with an original sheen on the inner fender wells and trim and an even coating of undercoating on the bottom (it’s on the sales order, too).

Found another 2nd gen Camaro like this one yet? More to the point, a four speed Z/28 in black? I didn’t think so. 12,000 mile cars don’t grow on trees, original paperwork is nearly always lost, and original owner cars are as rare as hen’s teeth. Combined that makes this a heck of a collectable, and one that’s appreciating in value as you read this. Call us today so someone else doesn’t drive your car home tonight.
