What’s special about this listing

This 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 represents the final years of the iconic second-generation Camaro, a period when American muscle cars were adapting to stricter emissions regulations while still delivering performance and style. According to the seller, this particular example has been modified with a focus on performance and style, featuring a powerful 454 CID V8 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission for an engaging driving experience. The striking yellow exterior combined with the sleek black interior creates a bold visual statement that captures the essence of late-1970s automotive design.

The vehicle has been categorized as Modified by Classic.com curators, reflecting its enhanced specification beyond factory originality. Described as having performance tires for optimal grip and handling, along with power brakes and power steering for enhanced control, this Camaro is built for enthusiasts who appreciate both classic aesthetics and modern drivability. Additional features include air conditioning, AM/FM radio with cassette tape player, and a tilt steering wheel for customizable comfort. The remarkably low mileage of 2,162 miles suggests this vehicle has been well-preserved and carefully maintained.
