Ground Up’s 1970 Camaro Z\/28 – currently undergoing restoration in 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In 1970 Chevrolet ushered in a new era of muscle cars when it introduced the first model of the second generation of Camaros. This model is the 1970 (also known as 1970 1\/2) Camaro. With Chevrolet having major success from its previous generation of Camaros (1967-69) and outside federal regulations not affecting the automotive industry yet. The 1970 Camaro was born and seen as a superior car to the first generation models. Major changes in the second generation were the overall design of the car which was a sleeker and more sophisticated design that earned itself the nickname “the hugger” in order to compete with the new expensive European sports cars. The Camaro also got a power upgrade with the new 360 HP 350 cubic inch engine, essentially the same as the Corvette LT1 engine. For the first time a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 could be ordered as an option with the Z\/28. Without a doubt that the 1970 Camaro was the superior muscle car of the time and a car that Ground Up had to have. But finding one proved to be a challenge all in itself. Despite the 1970 Camaro being as popular as it was, there were only 8,733 produced in 1970 making a nice 1970 Camaro more difficult to find than the previous generation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until early 2012 that Ground Up was able to track down the highly desired muscle car and add it to the family of cars. What we found was a numbers matching Daytona Yellow Z28. It came with the highly desired 350 LT1 engine, an M21 four-speed manual transmission, F41 suspension, and a 410 positraction rear-end.\u00a0 The car currently sits in the Ground Up showroom awaiting its turn for a full frame-off Ground Up restoration to restore this pristine muscle car to its original glory.<\/p>\n
