Wearing factory-correct Spectra Red paint, accented by a signature silver accent band and looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor, this 1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Convertible would stand out in any crowd of classics. Take a lap around this open-air cruiser, and you'll notice the visual impact resulting from its 2024 full repaint. If you look even closer, you may well notice something very distinctive about it. There were no factory Camaros available in convertible form the year it came out. This one was reconfigured into its present form at the hands of Richard Straman, a revered craftsman who was entrusted with performing the same conversion on quite a few exotics, so this is one exceedingly rare offering.
The interior has that same vitality that's on display outside the doors. With gray cloth upholstery that's in outright great shape and well-fitted carpeting, this vintage Chevy has obviously been treated with the utmost of respect, so its next lucky owner will be treated to an unusually fresh driving environment. Comfort and convenience features include a power bucket seat for the driver, power windows, cruise control and upgraded air conditioning that blows strong and cold. Everything remains in factory configuration, except for a Kenwood AM/FM/CD seamlessly installed at the center of the dash area. The original factory stereo comes with the car as well. Should the weather turn when you're out on the road, a manual convertible top stands by under its boot to protect you from the elements.
If you're seeking a convertible classic that's ready to be enjoyed right off the bat, this Camaro should move to the top of your "must see" list. It's powered by a period-correct 5.0-liter HO V8 that's fed by a 4-barrel carburetor and is really running nicely. The engine fires right up, idles smoothly and provides solid acceleration, pairing with a 4-speed automatic 700R4 transmission with an overdrive gear to keep RPMs down at highway speeds. This Z/28's wide stance and low center of gravity equip it with plenty of agility around corners, smooth power steering makes for easy navigation and power brakes that include discs up front offer plenty of fade resistant stopping ability that pairs well with frequent driving.
