1971 Z28 Camaro
Chicago
 

 
OWNERS: Jeff and Pam Burrer

HISTORY:
This Z28 was originally purchased in Santa Ana California at Clark Hatch Chevrolet, it stayed in California from 1971 until 1979. This car was then sold and brought to the Dallas Texas area were it remained until 1989. A Mr. Allen Morris purchased the Z28 and brought it to the Chicago area were it underwent restoration by him. The Z28 has been in the Chicago area since its restoration in 1989, being passed among several owners until my wife and I purchased it in late 1998. My wife and I are building on the restoration that Mr. Morris started and are constantly trying to bring this car back to as close to original condition as possible. The vehicle is highly documented, I have been able to speak to most of the owners of this car including the original owner who is now in his sixty's.

FACTS:
This Z28 has the original drive train, the LT-1 Engine (numbers matching) has the original intake and exhaust manifolds. The Holley Carb is a new correct 4801-1 with the GM part number, but has a later casting number (1975). The M20 4 speed and shifter are original ( trans numbers match) and the 3.73 rear gear and housing are all original. The one hard to believe but documented fact is that the exhaust system on this car is original excluding the muffler, which has been replaced and the pipes between the muffler and the chromed exhaust tips. The chrome exhaust tips are original but have been rechromed. This Z28 came with front and rear bumpers that had the rubber nose installed at the edge of the bumper, this is a rare option that was discontinued in 1971 I believe. The TCS system is all in place but disconnected (thank god), future plans are to install the original Air injection pump, tubing and hoses back on the engine and try and locate and install some of the hard to find brackets and hardware that have been lost over time. Also some interior improvements are planned for the Deluxe interior.
