The Appeal
Rarely spotted this side of the pond, the Chevrolet Camaro still carries much of the Pony-car charisma of mid-century American motoring, and does so with impeccable style. Equipped with Chevy's gargantuan 5.7litre V8, with over 300bhp going to the rear wheels, these cars fit into a long tradition of blue collar American Q cars. Its extravagant streamlining, luxurious interiors and exceptional powerplant under the hood, make the Z28 arguably the creme de la creme of this fabulous modern classic.
This example, carrying a rare colour scheme and some thoughtful upgrades, is a rare beast indeed - boasting the desirable performance ratio pack and limited slip diff. If you’ve not cast an eye on a full fat, V8-burbling modern pony car before, it’s the perfect time.H04T8gHKw4nQgWnhRll7L3VR9HfZD79ozu7GlEMN.jpg1.25 MB

Chevrolet has a fine tradition of big engined, burbling V8-powered Q-cars and the Z28 fits firmly into that lineage. Distinctive and quick it offers a very American approach to high speed motoring that emphasises effortless and comfortable.
It’s hard to overstate the rarity, condition and history of this remarkable purple Z28, and we’ve no doubt it’ll please any collector. These cars are lesser-spotted beasts and really do present an incredible evolution of the classic American pony car.
