305ci V8/T10 Manual/Build Sheet/Added T-Tops/Original Interior/Fully Functional

1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

For consignment, a 1981 version of the Camaro carrying the well known Z28 moniker.  This car has remained true to its included build sheet with the interior and exterior color, with a refresh on the paint 5-6 years ago and is presenting in excellent rust-free condition.  While most people felt that performance was no longer on the forefront, it's hard to pass up a V8 powered 4-speed Camaro and it even has added T-tops.  Also, our consignor is including a new decal package for this drive anywhere with the AC on honest presenting skate, which is this last year 2nd generation body.

Exterior
With its 3-piece front spoiler wrapping around the front of this car, along with the body matching crash bumper with integrated single round headlights and outward V blacked out grille shape, the Camaro had come into its own with styling for 1981.  This car bathed in a respray of the factory White that presents with some inclusions and roughness to the paint that could possibly be wet sanded out.  3 tone gold decals are gracing the hood scoop as well as racing forward from the rear quarters, then dipping down over the front wheel fairings then meeting up underneath the car on the lower air dam.  Included with your purchase is a set of new decals for that showroom fresh look.  Highlighting the body is the reverse scooped hood and spats to accentuate the front and rear wheel wells.  Blacked out trimmings have been kept to a minimum with only the windshield, side and back glass being encircled.  Up high on the roof are mirror finish aftermarket T-tops that can easily be removed to have some fun in the sun and wind in your hair driving.  Overall the exterior panels are straight and rust free, Z28 badging is on the grille and tail panel, and gaps are noted as well minded.   Gold finished 15-inch sport rally wheels are slapped on all 4 corners and are wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial TA rubber, and this beauty has the “look” that every Camaro owner desires.

Interior
Nicely stitched paneled doors are inside and showing off in Doeskin and are highlighted with chrome bezels for the door releases, power locks, and mirror joystick.  These panels play out with smooth vinyl, stitched vinyl in tan and chrome trim spears for good looks.  Keeping in theme the front buckets have tan vinyl bolsters and have deep tuck and roll brown and Doeskin tweed broadcloth stitching for inserts.  A 2 plus 2 rear seat in the same pattern is looking mostly unused and all are in near excellent condition with the exception of a slight tear in the driver side front.  The square and rectangle design genre is abundant utilizing some brushed aluminum-like material for the cluster with dual round gauges in the center and surrounding smaller rounds at the corners.  A/C is noted on the heater control slides and is still present under the hood, along with the factory AM/FM/Cassette player and tri-gold Z28 badging on the glovebox in front of the passenger.  The original steering wheel badged in Z28 with its 4 splines appears with a heavy ribbed wrap the rim.  A vinyl textured center console is providing storage, a home for the power window toggles, and a place for the black ball topped shifter as it races between the buckets and towards the 2 plus 2's in the back.  Camel tan carpet floods the floors and a tight brown headliner is floating above.

Drivetrain
Under this hood is all original with the EPA power sucking regulations thwarted 305ci V8.  It is topped by a single 4 barrel carburetor and has the factory Borg Warner T10 4-speed manual on back.  A 10-bolt 3.42 geared rear axle is in charge of putting the power to the pavement.  Single to dual pipe exhaust and Flowmaster sans catalytic converter is in charge of the big exhale.

Undercarriage
All nicely preserved and solid as they come with slight surface rust on some areas that have suffered road rash.  For the brakes, power disc braking is upfront, and power drums for the rear and independent coil spring suspension in the front works with leaf springs in the rear.  All nicely preserved and well presenting.

Drive-Ability
A quick starter with a smoooooooth idle and off to the test track where it performed lovely.  All was working including ice cold air conditioning, and fully functioning accessories even the stereo was kicking out tunes of the era.  I flipped on Flock of Seagulls, and went for a cruise, with my mullet blowing in the cold AC.

If you are looking for a Camaro in classic early 80's style, stop here, as this is it.  All rust free, all well preserved, with its original build sheet and all running just perfectly.  Great bodystyling for this last year 2nd gen and a fine runner, just showroom condition here in 2023, right out of 1981.
