1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Chevrolet’s sleek third-generation Camaro had hit its stride by 1987. Embracing its heritage, Chevy continued to offer the high-performance Z28 which was powered by the driver’s choice of carbureted or fuel-injected V8s. Regardless of induction, this mill delivered impressive torque, giving the Camaro lots of low-rpm grunt for spirited stoplight fun.

Visually, the 1987 Z28 distinguished itself with an aggressive front fascia, ground effects, unique badging, and 15" or 16" wheels, with a performance-tuned suspension and front disc brakes backing up those good looks. And inside, drivers experienced a surprisingly refined ride on Camaro’s 101-inch wheelbase while enjoying supportive bucket seats, a sport instrument cluster, and a full suite of power options.

Quick, agile, and unmistakably stylish, the Z28 became an icon of 1980s American performance — and remains a sought-after muscle car to this day.

This example is dressed in dark red with tan cloth upholstery, and is powered by the carbureted 5.0L V8 backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. Its odometer now shows approximately 25,100 miles.

This 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
