1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on 2040-cars
US $12,390.00
Year:1978
Mileage:93442
Color:
Location:
Princeton, North Carolina, United States
Of the 2,311 Yellow Orange Z28s that were produced, this maybe the finest one available to purchase. It is most
definitely unique as I’ve added a CROSS RAM dual four intake and on it sits two specially modified NASCAR 390 cfm
Holley carbs. A true car enthusiasts dream vehicle!
For the past decade, we have been restoring and building 2nd Gen Trans Ams and some we’ve built to a level far
beyond what the factory was allowed to produce. Five of our builds have reached the status that we’ve named and
numbered “Super Bandits” and they are awesome vehicles to own and drive. During the years of building hp TAs,
I’ve thought about restoring/building a 2nd gen Z28 to the Super Car status and what I’m offering for sale is
our prototype “Super Z”.
Below are a few words of what we have restored on the car over the many years of my son and I owning it and you can
view the pictures of the finished results.
Exterior / Body /Frame
The hood, fenders, bumper covers, mirrors and trunk spoiler were removed and painted separately. The front frame
received a new set of upgraded poly body bushings and it was properly aligned to the body. Upper A arm bushings
were replaced along with the sway bar bushings. The door hinge pins/bushings were replaced and the doors were
properly aligned. The original Yellow Orange paint was stripped and minor dings were repaired. All parts were
primed and then block sanded multiple times in preparation for top coat paint to be applied. Similar to how Mark
Worman at Graveyard Carz paints his high end restored vehicles, this one was sprayed in base clear twice with a few
years allowed before the 2nd spraying was done. This makes for a very nice smooth paint that will remain great
looking for many years. The recently sprayed 2nd coating of base Yellow Orange and clear was Trizact wet sanded and
buffed to a shine.
After spraying was completed, new window felts were installed along with door and body weather stripping.
Windshield moldings were stripped, painted and installed. New decals were then applied and the custom Phoenix
Graphix hood scoop decal looks as though this ’78 could have come from the factory with the upgraded ’80 hood
scoop.
Engine / Under Hood
The engine in this Stage 1 Super Z is a one of a kind with twin Holley modified NASCAR 390 cfm carbs sitting on top
of the Offenhauser cross ram intake manifold. I’ve tuned the carbs to produce great throttle response and you
will find the engine to pull strong when you open all 8 barrels up! The camshaft chosen for our Stage 1 engine
package offers you greatly improved hp while still being fine to use on an AC equipped vehicle. Long tube headers
and a true dual exhaust keeps things following out easily.
To keep things nice and cool always, I’ve installed a Hayden severe duty fan clutch and a 4 core hd aluminum
radiator. The factory AC system had an upgraded compressor installed and the system was filled with the new 134
refrigerant. All under hood areas were cleaned and painted the correct factory trim black color and even the hood
hinges were sprayed in a color that replicated the factory look to them.
Trans / Differential
The BW ST10 4 speed manual trans has been rebuilt and upgraded/modified with the gears that were used in the ’80
and up Z28s. First gear now is the super low 3.42 ratio which makes it great for getting off of the line. The
differential is a single trac and has been improved by installing a set of 2.73 gears to lower the engine rpm at
hwy cruising speed. Now with the super low 1st gear in the trans and hwy gears in the rear, it is great off of the
line while being a pleasure to drive for extended periods on the hwy!
Brakes
The brake system is all working properly and the font pads have been upgraded to ceramic to reduce dust build up on
the wheels.
Wheels / Tires
The 15 x 7 factory aluminum wheels were cleaned, painted the correct gold and then polished. The tires still have
good tread left on them to enjoy some more miles of driving.
Interior
The floor has had new underlay insulation and carpet installed along with new sill plates. Rear shelf package tray
seat covers and door panels have all been replaced along with the headliner and sun visors – but that was 6 years
ago so not brand new at the moment. All dash gauges work properly. A new high power radio and speakers were
installed in the rear shelf and in the center front area.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper
Thu, Mar 1 2018The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
