The Z/28 pictured above was sold new at Jack Phelan Chevrolet in the fall of 1978.

 

It was said to have been a demo & driven by the lead salesman for approximately two months.

 

Sometime shortly thereafter the car was purchased by a local policeman.

 

He would keep the Camaro in his possession into the late eighties.

 

 

Next the vintage Bow Tie would be acquired by Bill Kay Corvettes & Classics in Downers Grove IL.

 

  

There it would remain as a regional product for over twelve years.

 

 

Not long after “the exact whereabouts & its history was lost in the shuffle”.  

 

 

This particular Z would not resurface until 2019.

At this point it was gathered by a prominent member of YESTERDAY’S CLASSIC CAMARO CLUB in (Watsonville, CA).

 

 

After adding it to his collection he transported it to Ballwin, Mo.

 

There the vehicle was slated for restoration.

His team began by stripping off the original lacquer paint (only one repaint since new).

 

This F body still has all of its original body panels in place.

 

Its uniformity & proper fitment is noteworthy.

 

The paint material was extensively researched and carefully crafted.

 

An amazing blend of 1978 (70447743AW) Chevrolet red & RM BASE 9387 was applied.

 

 

“There was also a hint of 2019 Corvette torch red (GKZ DITZLER PPG) incorporated”.

 

 

THE OUTCOME & FINAL PRODUCT IS SIMPLY BREATHTAKING!

It was given honors of second place in the “Spirit of the Midwest” car cruise & show (in 2021).  

 

 

Nevertheless the car truly turns heads each & every time it leaves the garage!

 

Constant cell phones flashing & people giving thumbs up!

P1010261

 

Being a true Camaro enthusiast made it difficult for him to go against the grain.

 

However, a decision was made to kill some of the GM sanctioned Z/28 decals (which are included).

 

From his perspective it took away from the purity & grace.

 

Most hobbyist love the cleaner appearance.
