The original muscle car era died in the early 1970s, and by the end of the decade, it looked as if the days of high-performance American cars were behind us. For aspirational cars, many of us who came of age in the early 1980s still looked to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, even if their glory days were largely behind them.
While this 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, for sale on Hemmings.com, couldn’t keep up in the quarter mile with its decade-earlier namesake (the 1970.5 Camaro Z28, to be specific), it was still a car that resonated with car-obsessed teens. Nostalgia counts for quite a bit, so this Camaro’s combination of low mileage, largely original components and well-preserved condition should have little trouble attracting buyers who lusted after the Z28s in dealer showrooms. From the seller’s description:

Vehicle is functional with updates including a new gas tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, shock absorbers, brake master cylinder and power booster. Carburetor had also been rebuilt/cleaned.
Previously mentioned mechanical components have only been replaced/repaired out of necessity.
The engine and drivetrain are entirely original, unmodified, undamaged and never disassembled.
Much effort has been made to preserve the vehicle’s originality.
Accordingly, a replacement differential cover gasket and transmission pan gasket are included with purchase due to slow, minor fluid leaks.
