1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS tribute

 

1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS tribute. This Camaro rolled off the Norwood assembly line in February of 1970 as an Astro Blue car with a black vinyl top. 53 years and only 72,169 actual miles later it has made it’s way to our showroom – now dressed in a slick coat of red paint and black racing stripes. The paint job is a good one and we’d describe it’s current condition as very good driver-quality.

The front of this Camaro is a real attention-getter. The distinctive black grill with Z/28 badging is flanked by round parking lights beside the headlights and gleaming bumperettes surrounding on both sides of the grill. Underneath the front end is a black chin spoiler that completes the aggressive look. Moving around to the sides of the car you’ll notice all of the bright trim-work right away.

The upper hood trim, window surrounds, drip rail molding, door handles, and rocker molding all shine in the light. Both sides have Z/28 badging on the fenders and body-color side mirrors. Windshield wipers hide beneath the lip of the hood just as they should on a RS. The rear of the car features a one-piece rear spoiler on the trunk lid, a Z/28 badge, and 4 round tail lights with inner and outer trim rings (similar to a Corvette of the era). This whole cool package rests upon grey steel 5-spoke factory wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial TA’s.

Under the hood you’ll find a clean and organized engine bay housing an era correct, non-numbers matching 350 V-8 that just underwent a $5,500 rebuild in April of 2022. Atop the engine is an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Intake, Edelbrock Carburetor, chrome air cleaner, Edelbrock E-Street heads, and black valve covers with Red “”Chevrolet”” script and bowtie. Exhaust flows through cerakoted headers and newer mufflers and pipes to exit behind the rear tires with a great sound.

The V-8 is mated to a 4-speed Muncie manual transmission that sends power to the rear via a 10-bolt rear with 2:73 gears – perfect for freeway cruising. Also notable under the hood is power steering, a newer battery, and nice under-hood matting. Stopping power comes from manual brakes with a dual reservoir and a front disc / rear drum set-up. Open the drivers door and a working courtesy light illuminates the all black interior.

This Camaro was born with a standard interior and still has one today. The black vinyl Strato-bucket seats with squared off seat backs and adjustable headrests are unique to 1970 models and are quite comfortable. The rear seat is 2 bucket cushions and a bench seat back due to the large transmission tunnel. Between the front seats is a center console with armrest, storage box, Hurst shifter with white shift-pattern ball, and storage caddy. On the ceiling is a tight black vinyl headliner as well as dual visors and coat hooks. The door panels are both in good condition and the drivers side has an interior side mirror control. The crack-free black dash houses a glovebox, an aftermarket Sherwood stereo (inop.), an ashtray, and a gauge cluster with a speedometer, tachometer, and clock (inop.) as well as gauges for amps, gas, and temp. A SW oil pressure gauge has been mounted under the dash. There is a switch for windshield wipers but they are currently inop..

The driver is treated to a RS steering wheel. Floors are covered with black hook and loop carpet kept clean by rubber Camaro Z/28 floormats front and back. Back in the trunk is a vinyl houndstooth mat, seat belts that have been removed, a fuel pump, a packeage of light bulbs, and a binder containing an invoice from the engine rebuild, some photos of the car, and brochures and information about 1970 Camaros. All Camaro fans know that the 1970 model was the best of the second gen cars and a Z/28 – RS combo is really as good as it gets. This tribute offers the stellar looks of a split-bumper car, the fun of a 4-speed, and great freeway driveability. All that this red beauty needs is a new owner to turn the key and hit the road!
