This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is a beautifully restored example of one of Chevrolet's most iconic muscle cars, finished in its factory color combination of Cortez Silver with black stripes over black standard interior. Backed by a comprehensive body-off restoration and powered by its numbers-matching DZ-suffix 302/290 HP V8, this is the kind of Z/28 that checks the boxes serious buyers look for.
Most importantly, this car is Camaro Hi-Performance Certified by Jerry MacNeish. In the certification report, MacNeish states that he can certify with certainty that this car is an authentic 1969 Camaro Z/28 and specifically an original Los Angeles-built Z/28. The report also notes that the engine block and trim tag are certified as real and authentic, further supporting the pedigree of the car.
In addition to its factory-correct color combination, the certification documents identify desirable factory features and equipment including the fold-down rear seat, console, gauges, tinted glass, Positraction, disc brakes, and Z28 special engine/equipment package. It is a strong, high-quality presentation of a real first-generation Z/28 with the kind of documentation that gives buyers confidence.
For transparency, this car retains its numbers-matching DZ 302 engine but is now fitted with a correct-style 4-speed manual transmission and correct-style 12-bolt Positraction rear that are not original to the car. The Camaro Hi-Performance report states that at the time of inspection there was no transmission in the vehicle and that the car had a 10-bolt rear installed, while also confirming the car was originally built as a Z/28 with factory-installed 4-speed and rear axle.
If you have been searching for a real 1969 Z/28 with the right engine, certified authenticity, desirable options, and excellent color combination, this Camaro deserves a serious look. It offers the kind of documentation, performance heritage, and presentation that make these cars so collectible today.
