From the seller’s description:

1972 Camaro Z28, from it’s current owner and restorer…
Time for this lovely car to get into the hands of someone who will use it and show it. It is too nice to just sit in my garage, covered. It’s an eye catcher.
Fully restored in 2007 and 2008, starting with a stripped down sand blasting. Driven only about 1,850 miles since, at about 20 miles every couple months. The rest of the time, it sits in my garage, covered and it has never seen rain since the restoration. Still crispy clean and just put brand new tires on it! (almost $900 for those… and had it tuned-up and detailed for another $500).
Drives great, rides great, sounds great with its cam and mufflers, it turns heads! Enough horsepower to have fun, but not so much that someone might get carried away and lose control of the car (rated at 350 hp by the engine rebuilder out of Phoenix).
A 4-speed on the floor. Not the original engine, but rebuilt 350 to stay true to its roots. No air; not numbers matching. As you will see in the pages that follow, the body work, engine, drivetrain wiring and interior work were done by shops around Orange County that had lots and lots of experience in collector car restorations.
Repainted in Mulsanne blue with a white strip and that was a color choice back in 1972.
