.
The1970 Z-28 got a unique Gas Pedal.
The Z-28 pedal is easily distinguished from NON-Z-28 Camaros by the fact that the base of the gas pedal is mounted to the floorboard.
This can be easily be distinguished from a non-Z28 Camaro which has a suspended gas pedal which does NOT have its base mounted to the floor ?EUR rather it is suspended in the air.
By looking at a Z28 from underneath you will clearly see how and where the factory installed the two gas pedal STUDS (I have documented this on my car in the photo above).
The studs are threaded on the bottom to allow nuts to hold them in place and on the inside of the car they are ball shaped on the end to allow the gas pedal to be pressed on them for a compression fit.
Rear-end COO coded 4:
10 Posi rear-end is a Hi-Po item that is almost exclusively found ont he high-performance Z-28, or L78.
It was an OPTION that had to be ordered.
STRIPES.
the code 10, found on the cars trim is for White Stripes which is almost exclusively a unique Z-28 item Condition The car appears by and large to be an original unrestoredcar that has benefited from a very respectable repaint and a new trunk pan.
Both were professionally done and present extremely well.
The paint is beautiful with NO real evidence of wear.
No notable dings, chips, or scratches anywhere that I have seen.
The paint is very slick with that high gloss deep wet look and the body is laser straight.
There also appears to have been some detailing under the hood in that the inner fenders are nice and clean.
The engine bay presents nicely.
The interior appears to be substantially original and as such, has some evidence of wear and age, but still very respectable especially given that it is now 45 years old.
It has that SURVIVOR look that is usually a testimony of having been well cared for by former owners.
The dash has some of the warpage on the outer edge (SEE PHOTOS).
This is typical with this generation Camaro but given that it is the original dash and not as bad as most, I would NOT replace it simply put this interior is very presentable and in my opinion too original to mess with.
Doors & Windows:
One thing that really impressed me was the doors do NOT have the typical sagging problem when being opened and closed.
They shut beautifully withno drop what-so-ever.
Also the windows do NOT have the deep scratches, which are so common in these cars.
The windows go up and down nicely and mate properly with roofline.
Of course the car received NEW door weather-strip and window fuzzes during the repaint giving both the windows and the doors a nice tight seal.
It is super hard to find a 2ndGen Camaro with windows and doors as nice as they are on this car.
Floors:
The floors appear to be totally original other than as mentioned above, the trunk pan replacement).
I did not find any rot out in the floors including the lower inner QTR drops which are usually the FIRST place underneath to rot out they appear to be original and free of the typical rot out.
I did note that the passenger rocker appears to have been replaced but the floors on both sides appear to be completely original and rot free.
Mileage and Performance:
The car shows5 5kon the odometer.
I have no idea as to what the true miles are and unfortunately the fellow I purchased it from did not get a history handoff when he purchased it so we are all left to guess.
However, I did discover a past ad on this very car where the mileage is claimed to be original.
The ad also indicates that the RS option was added and that the car was painted 15 years ago.
The motor sounds good and pulls strong, like a 360hp mechanical lifter LT-1 should.
It starts easily and idles beautifully.
It will blow some smoke under acceleration, not sure why.
The compression was checked and all the cylinders came in at 185 to 195 which is very gfor more information please contact the seller.
