1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 4-Speed

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was delivered new to Model Garage of Middletown, Maryland, and spent approximately 40 years in the state before being refurbished in 2003. Finished in Hugger Orange with white stripes over a black vinyl Deluxe interior, the car is powered by a 302ci V8 linked with a Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission and a PosiTraction differential with 4.10:1 gearing. Equipment includes front and rear spoilers, front bucket seats, a cowl induction hood, Custom Autosound stereo, woodgrain interior trim, front disc brakes, and 15″ Rally wheels. The car was initially acquired by the selling dealer in 2023 and subjected to a mechanical refresh that included repainting the engine, rebuilding the carburetor, and replacing the camshaft, cylinder heads, exhaust system, rear main seal, clutch, and water pump. Reacquired by the selling dealer in 2024, this Z/28 is now offered with an NCRS Shipping Data Report, a Jerry MacNeish certificate of authenticity, a Protect-O-Plate, service records, awards, spare parts, and a clean Massachusetts title.

The car was factory-finished in Hugger Orange with white stripes (72) and was repainted as part of the 2003 refurbishment. Exterior details include front and rear spoilers, dual exhaust outlets, and Z/28 badging. An ownership history document in the gallery describes damage while under the care of the original owner, who then added a cowl induction hood and black grill. The cowl induction hood was made operable by the selling dealer in 2023. Additional work at that time included installing an antenna and replacing the front spoiler, door vapor barriers, and quarter window seals.

The 15″ Rally wheels wear bright trim rings and hubcaps and are mounted with Goodyear Wide Tread GT white-letter tires that were fitted in 2023. A full-size spare is found in the trunk. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The primary cylinder cover was replaced in 2023 along with a brake booster hose.

The front bucket seats and rear bench are trimmed in black vinyl upholstery that also covers the dashboard and door panels. Black carpets line the floors, and amenities include a Custom Autosound stereo, woodgrain trim, front seat headrests, and lap belts for all occupants. Work in 2023 included repainting the trunk area and replacing the pedal pads, shifter handle and boot, side vents, steering column cover, parking brake handle, and sill plates. The removed AM radio is included in the sale.

The replacement Comfort Grip-style steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline accompanied by a 120-mph speedometer and a clock. Auxiliary readouts for amperage, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level are mounted ahead of the Hurst shifter. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles.

The 302ci V8 was factory-rated at 290 horsepower and underwent a rebuild during previous ownership. It was removed from the car during the aforementioned 2023 mechanical refresh, during which time it was repainted and fitted with a replacement camshaft, cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds, water pump, rear main seal, oil pan gasket, and radiator hoses. The Holley 4053 four-barrel carburetor was also rebuilt and the intake manifold was repaired and welded. Work in preparation for the sale included an oil change and replacement of the air filter, spark plugs, heat riser, and thermostat housing gasket.

The engine stamping is shown above, though it was partially removed during the rebuild.

The Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission is also said to have undergone a rebuild during previous ownership, and it routes power to the rear wheels via a PosiTraction differential with 4.10:1 gearing. The clutch and exhaust system were replaced in 2023 and the differential fluid was changed.
