1979 Z/28 Pro touring Camaro
This 1979 Z/28 Camaro named "Teachers Pet" was built by the West Bend East and West High School Automotive class along with over site by West Bend Dyno Tuning.
All parts were supplied by West Bend Dyno Tuning and associated manufacturers. The car took 9 months to build and was used as a learning platform for the students. The students have been involved from tear down to initial fire up and even competing at the 2016 Car Craft Summer Nationals. It has also been used to test different intake manifolds on our Chassis Dyno. It is time to let this vehicle go so we can focus our attention on the next student project.
The car has a completely new drive line and is ready to hit the street or the track. This car can be driven anywhere, but does need a few finishing touches. Paint and bodywork are original, some of the weather stripping could use replacing, and the interior could use some finishing touches. See the attached list of specs and pictures for details. Engine and chassis dyno sheets and more pics available upon request.
The complete build was covered by Power and Performance News, and will be in an upcoming Super Chevy magazine issue. Feel free to check out all the coverage on www.powerperformancenews.com under features and then click on project builds.
