1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 2dr Hatchback

1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Indy 500 Pace Car Edition â?" Cross-Fire Injection, 4-Speed Manual, T-Tops Why This Car Is Special The 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is already a significant machine on its own. It was the first year of the third-generation Camaro, built on an all-new platform that Chevrolet had been developing since the mid-1970s. The new body was lower, wider, and more aerodynamically efficient than the second-gen cars it replaced, and it landed on the cover of nearly every automotive magazine that year. Motor Trend named it Car of the Year for 1982, making it one of the few Camaros to earn that distinction. But this particular car goes a step further. The 1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was selected as the official pace car for the 66th Indianapolis 500, held on May 30, 1982.
