Matching numbers with original Chevy 350 5.7 litre V8
Comprehensive history file with MOTs dating back to 2003
Rare export model originally supplied to Switzerland
Retains original build sheet
The Appeal
The 2nd generation Camaro is, to modern eyes, far more than a single generation of car. This is a huge transitionary period for the model, one that changed every year and morphed into a whopping, great urethane-bumpered, V8-powered muscle car that was about as brash and capable as they came.
This example is the high-performance Z28, featuring the legendary 5.7-Litre LM1 V8 powerplant. That's still an impressive, desirable bit of hardware today - and when loaded into this aggressive bodywork, it's quite a seductive prospect. Thoughtfully upgraded, matching numbers and with an equally brash Carmine red livery, this long-nosed, high-octane car may well be one of the finest examples of its type available - and we're sure will garner plenty of very well-deserved interest.
