Modified 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Type LT 5-Speed

Description

The Chevrolet Camaro Z28 "Type LT" blended classic second‑generation F‑body styling with improved refinement, optional luxury trim, and upgraded performance hardware. Pairing the Z28’s performance‑oriented chassis tuning with the LT’s enhanced interior appointments, these models are appreciated for their blend of muscle and comfort—an appealing combination for enthusiasts seeking a well‑sorted, driver‑focused American classic.

This particular 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 LT has been refurbished and tastefully upgraded for improved drivability and reliability. Finished in Medium Red Metallic over a reupholstered Saddle vinyl and cloth interior, the car features a Tremec five‑speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch, Hotchkis sway bars, CalTracs traction bars, and lowering springs.

Additional improvements include tucked bumpers, a Bluetooth audio system with backup camera, additional SunPro gauges, and a mild camshaft paired with a Deamon three‑barrel carburetor. The seller reports that a repaint was completed in 2024, the car has been garage‑kept since, and the engine was rebuilt approximately 10 years ago.

This upgraded 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 LT is now offered with dyno run data, refurbishment documentation, some spare parts, and a clean Maryland title in the seller’s name.
