1980 Z28 Camaro 383 Stroker, Turbo 350. This 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is a highly documented Z-car with a very cool color combo.

1980 Camaro Spotters Guide & New Features
EPA fuel economy was a big theme in 1980. In an effort to save weight the venerable but porky 250 was axed in favor of the V6. 49 states got the Chevy (odd-fire) 229 CID, while Californians got the Buick (even-fire) 231 CID. Both were 90 degree V6s, the chevy was a '3/4 V8'.Good news on the Z28 front. Styling changes made the car seriously sinister. It had some extra poke under the hood too. Click here to read all about it.
The Berlinetta got spiffy wire wheel covers which replaced the polycast wheels and the paint scheme for the RS model was modified.
Ahoy - there was a recession looming on the horizon and sales plummetted to 1/2 of the previous years record setting level. Something needed to be done, and among the highlights? were....
- 267 CID V8 debute (not available in CA thank god)
- 250 CID L6 eliminated, replaced with V6
- new tight mesh grille
- To save gas - Speedo reads to 85MPH Max, down from 130.
- vinyl roof cover eliminated.
