When new, the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro Z28 offered an incredible amount of performance bang for the buck. A pair of 5.0 and 5.7-liter V8s reliably made between 190 and 240 horsepower in various tunes. That may not sound impressive today, but it was a revelation in the 1980s and still makes a Camaro of that era a good car to drive. That's partly why it is so satisfying to see this one get the attention it deserves.
At first sight, the black and gold Chevrolet Camaro looks like a ghost. Covered in a layer of fine, white dust, it haunts one side of the garage. According to the owner of this car, it was originally purchased by her dad and only had about 28,000 miles on the odometer. About 12 years ago, it developed a rod knock, so it was parked. The original engine was replaced with a Summit Racing 355 cubic inch V8 and FiTech electronic fuel injection.
