Single-Family-Owned 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4-Speed at No Reserve

This 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was purchased new by the seller’s father at Malkerson Motors of Shakopee, Minnesota, and it was inherited by the seller in 2018. Now showing 68k miles, the car is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 linked with a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential, and it is finished in Dark Blue Metallic over Camel cloth upholstery. Equipment includes a sport suspension, 15″ body-color wheels, front disc brakes, power steering, front and rear spoilers, sport side mirrors, and a Pioneer cassette stereo and speakers. This Camaro Z28 is now offered at no reserve with a reproduction window sticker, the manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Dark Blue Metallic, and features include a hood scoop, front and rear spoilers, sport side mirrors, functional fender vents, bright exterior accents, and body-color front and rear bumpers. The seller notes that the front corner of the vehicle struck a deer in the early 1980s and the driver headlight bezel was repaired. Additional bodywork consisted of repainting the roof and hood due to paint chips, repainting the right door due to a scrape, and replacing the left door hinge. Paint and body blemishes are displayed in the gallery.

The 15″ body-color wheels are mounted with 225/70 Goodyear Eagle ST white-letter tires. Curb rash is noted on the left front wheel. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. Factory equipment included a sport suspension.

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in Camel cloth upholstery with matching carpets. Amenities include a center console, a cabin heater, and a Pioneer cassette stereo and speakers. The clock does not work, the left side of the console lid is warped, the upper edge of the driver door panel is discolored, and the driver seat cover exhibits tears in three places.

The steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames an 85-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, voltage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 69k miles.

The 5.7-liter V8 was factory rated at 190 horsepower. The smog pump was removed from the engine in the 1980s and the seller tells us that the air induction system was modified to stay open at all times. Recent work consisted of replacing the thermostat housing, drive belts, and thermostatic switches.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential. Aftermarket mufflers are installed and additional underside photos are displayed in the gallery.

The reproduction window sticker lists standard equipment and options, a total vehicle price of $8,216, and initial delivery to Malkerson Motors of Shakopee, Minnesota. A build sheet, the manufacturer’s literature, and spare parts also accompany the vehicle.
