39-Years-Owned 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

1981 marked the final year for Chevrolet’s second-generation Camaro, which was released over a decade prior. In 1978, the Camaro received a redesign to its front and rear, introducing integrated body-color urethane bumpers and larger taillamps.

By 1981, the car was equipped with GM’s Computer Command Control system, which managed emissions and fuel economy, reflecting tightening federal regulations.

Camaro Z28 models featured distinctive graphics, front and rear spoilers, and functional hood air induction to the Z28's optional 5.7-liter V8, which was factory rated at 175 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. of torque.

This ‘81 Z28 has remained in the seller’s care since February 1987, and it is finished in white with blue Z28 graphics over blue upholstery. Modifications include an open-element air cleaner, a Holley carburetor, a Weiand intake manifold, chrome valve covers, tubular exhaust headers, and glass-pack mufflers. This Z28's V8 feeds the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.

This 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is now offered at no reserve with a 2019 service document, spare parts, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Connecticut title in the seller’s name.

Additional Information

• From the seller: “This 1981 Z28 is white with three-tone blue graphics and medium blue interior. Purchased in February 1987 with 52,000 miles, it has been garaged and covered ever since with occasional use. Several mechanical upgrades and service work performed. The car is in great mechanical condition, no frame rust or body rust except for some very light surface rust in some areas. The car has been meticulously maintained and kept as a collector car. Extensive service work was completed at 96,920 miles (see receipt), only driven 100 miles since because of other toys so decision was made to let it go.”
