INTRODUCTION: A black '69 Z/28 is one of the hottest cars on the market today. This tribute underwent a complete body off frame restoration by “Fussy Joe”, a customer of ours for decades who knows how to build them right. It's exceptionally dialed in from top to bottom and has the hardware to prove it, including winning the coveted Hooters Cup Trophy. This is one sharp '69 Camaro!

EXTERIOR: Absolutely stunning looks! The iconic '69 Camaro body style makes the perfect palette for slick gloss black paint with white Z28 stripes. The body is straight, the panels fit beautifully, and there's no rust or damage. There's no vinyl top to interrupt the look- just gorgeous black paint from top to bottom. At the time of restoration, the chrome, trim, marker lights, stainless moldings, and grilles were replaced. It also features the exterior trim group, including the drip rail moldings, rear quarter louvers, and wheel opening moldings. Even the T3 headlights are in place. Of course, it has the aggressive cowl hood along with front and rear spoilers. The weatherstrips were replaced, as were the front and rear windows. It sits just right on 15-inch Rally wheels with shiny trim, wrapped in reproduction Firestone Wide Oval tires.

INTERIOR: It has been completely restored to factory specifications and presents beautifully. The seats were re-cushioned and reupholstered, while the door panels, armrests, dash pad, headliner, and visors were all replaced. The carpet still looks fresh and is protected by a set of reproduction floor mats. The dash is complete with a full set of factory gauges, including the tachometer and the desirable console mounted gauges. Even the clock has been upgraded with reliable quartz movement. The heater control panel was replaced and the interior lights work. A retro-style stereo and 6x9 rear speakers provides modern entertainment while maintaining the vintage appearance, and retractable three-point seat belts add a welcome safety upgrade.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is neat, tidy, and properly finished throughout. At the heart of it is a crate 350, topped with an aluminum intake cleverly disguised in Chevy orange for a more factory appearance. A Sniper fuel injection system is hidden beneath the cowl induction air cleaner, along with a Sniper ignition system. A set of Doug's coated headers helps it breathe and adds some extra performance. It's equipped with power steering and power brakes, upgraded electric wipers, and a great looking set of valve covers. All the pulleys, brackets, and components are clean and well presented. The squirters are hooked up, the hood has insulation, and the battery is properly secured with premium cables and terminals. All the surrounding metal surfaces are painted very nicely, completing a clean, well sorted engine compartment.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Like I said, he's fussy, and the trunk compartment proves it. It even has a reproduction Firestone tire mounted on a reproduction Rally wheel, along with a complete reproduction jack assembly. Under the trunk lid is painted slick and detailed with the proper decals, and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside, everything is solid, clean, and complete, finished off with a reproduction trunk mat.

UNDERSIDE: Everything was removed from the underside of this car during the restoration, including the subframe, which was powder coated along with the chassis components. Front and rear suspension was rebuilt and upgraded with Bilstein gas shocks. The steering was rebuilt too. The brake system was completely rebuilt and upgraded with disc brakes at all four wheels. It also has new lines, and a functional e-brake. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank and lines, and upgraded to accommodate the fuel injection. It has a great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, a crossover pipe, and the proper slash cut stainless tail pipes. Looking up at the motor, it's spotless Chevy orange and features a high-torque starter. The Muncie 4-speed was rebuilt and upgraded with a Super 661 case. The floors are rock solid, clean metal protected with a chip guard finish. Everything underneath is properly installed and presented very nicely.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: The restoration was completed about eight or nine years ago, and this car has been driven and enjoyed since. It still presents beautifully, although if you look closely, you'll find a minor nick or flaw here and there. Most importantly, it's dialed in, proven, and ready to drive and enjoy!
