With the dawn of the 1970s, Chevrolet's Camaro entered its second generation. The competition also did this, but this time they weren't forced to take a quick approach because a stroke of genius like the Mustang couldn't be easily repeated. The Camaro had grown in size and had a completely new design, one might think it was almost European. Under the hood, however, they relied on the tried and tested: displacement and performance. The chassis was significantly improved, while at the same time more comfort inside. The press department called it “a driver’s car”.

Offered here is a ‘Shark Nose’ early second generation (1970-1973) of the Camaro that pre-dated the US Federal rules on bumpers, and arguably the more desirable and sought-after appearance for the iconic marque. Presenting in Black with both the Z28 and Type LT badging and a 4-speed manual transmission example, it is understood to have been in the UK for a long period, indeed the HPI report suggests its first registration in the UK as 6^th June 1971. In current ownership since 2006, it is understood to have been restored by the previous owner sometime before then, with bodywork and paintwork carried out. We are advised that in more recent times the Camaro has benefitted from a brake overhaul that included new discs, calipers and pads.

The cockpit has air conditioning fitted and has a purposeful period-style Hurst Indy shifter that looks the part! It is offered with a collection of old MOTs and a current V5C. The vendor bought the Camaro on the understanding it was a genuine Z28, however, we would recommend further investigation is required. The body decodes as a V8 and the engine number is partly visible and states the build details as the Flint factory on October 29th, although, the important letter stampings are difficult to read.
