Description
1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 305 V8 Automatic Only 54,584 Original Miles The bold styling of Chevrolet's third-generation Camaro helped define American performance cars of the 1980s, and this 1987 Camaro Z28 Coupe is an especially attractive reminder of that era. Finished in Bright Red with its original Carmine Red vinyl interior, this Z28 shows only 54,584 original miles and is accompanied by a clean CARFAX. With its unmistakable wedge-shaped profile, factory-style graphics, V8 power, and impressively preserved cabin, it offers the character of a classic Camaro without the extensive modifications so often encountered today. Beneath the hood is Chevrolet's 305 cubic-inch (5.0-liter) LG4 V8, equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, providing the familiar V8 response of a classic muscle car along with more relaxed highway cruising. Dual exhaust adds the traditional Chevrolet V8 soundtrack, while power steering makes the car comfortable to maneuver whether heading to a local show or enjoying a weekend drive. The exterior is finished in its original factory Bright Red color and has received one repaint over the years. Its low nose, sloping rear glass, sculpted body sides, and distinctive Z28 graphics capture the performance-focused styling that made this generation so recognizable. Rather than an elaborate custom treatment, the car retains the straightforward look of an original-era Z28, with the red paint and exterior striping creating a particularly fitting combination. Fifteen-inch factory wheels complete the period-correct appearance. All four have been professionally restored by Wheels America and are complemented by new wheel lug nuts, lug nut covers, and center caps. The wheels wear 215/65R15 tires at all four corners, preserving the balanced stance and proportions of the original design. These details make a noticeable difference in the overall presentation, especially on a car that has otherwise been kept close to its original character. The interior is one of this Camaro's greatest strengths. Its original Carmine Red vinyl upholstery remains in excellent condition, with contrasting Black accents that bring out the distinctive 1980s dashboard and center-console design. Front bucket seats, a console-mounted automatic shifter, and the driver-oriented instrument panel create the engaging cockpit that Camaro enthusiasts remember. The headliner has been replaced, while the rest of the cabin retains an appealing original presentation. A new rearview mirror and new dashboard-side defroster vents are scheduled to be installed. Comfort equipment includes factory air conditioning, power steering, and an AM/FM/CD stereo system, allowing the driver to enjoy a little modern audio convenience without changing the overall feel of the interior. The independent front suspension, power front disc brakes, and rear drum brakes maintain the familiar mechanical layout of the era, offering an approachable classic-car driving experience. The combination of a clean CARFAX, just 54,584 original miles, and such a nicely preserved original interior is what helps separate this Z28 from the average third-generation Camaro. The single repaint in its original color gives the exterior a refreshed appearance while preserving the car's classic identity. It shows very well overall and presents as a handsome, low-mileage example of Chevrolet's iconic 1980s performance coupe. With its Bright Red paint, Z28 graphics, original Carmine Red interior, carbureted 305 V8, overdrive automatic transmission, and freshly restored factory wheels, this 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 offers an enjoyable blend of originality, style, and classic V8 character. It is equally appealing as a weekend cruiser, local show car, or addition to a collection of well-preserved American performance automobiles.
