1984 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"It is the car dreams are made of!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I had purchased this car, it didn't actually have an engine in it. It was my first car and I had built it. Although I had re-built the original 305cid, 5.0 H.O. engine, all of the electrical system was original. Out of all of the things that had ever gone wrong with this car, every problem was traceable back to the original wire harness. Other than having to get the entire harness replaced, (which is in no way cheap), I never really had any other substantial problems with this vehicle.
General comments?
This car was the car that I had been dreaming about since I had first seen one at the age of 6. I had so much fun with this car. It has, in my opinion, a perfect balance of power, control, and responsiveness. Till this day, there is honestly no other car that I would love to have.
Other than the minor, yet costly electrical set-back, I can't possibly say a bod word towards the 1984 Camaro Z28 5.0 H.O.
