23-Years-Owned 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Description

The Camaro Z/28 had a triumphant stint in the Trans-Am racing series, securing victory in 10 out of 13 races. Its success led to a surge in demand, eventually making it available for everyday road use. The Z/28 option boasted a high-performance 302 cu-in (4.9-liter) small-block V8 engine, originally intended for the 5.0-liter (305 cu-in) racing class. The notion of offering "virtually race-ready" Camaros for purchase from any Chevrolet dealer was the brainchild of Vince Piggins. This 1968 Chevrolet Camaro has been meticulously restored to its former glory and is now poised to be cherished by its new owner. With its rich history and impressive performance, the Camaro Z/28 remains a highly coveted muscle car among enthusiasts and collectors alike.
