Revell has a 79 Camaro z-28 but only has blue and brown decals..

Doesn't the Revell have a big hole in the hood and blower?

Decal color doesn't matter, I'll get green made from the decals

Is there a 79 promo?

Its a 3n1 or 2n1 kit. it has a factory hood and can be built stock..

The MPC annual has a "solid" roof (rather than the T-Tops of the Monogram/ Revell) and decent overall shape, typical decent bucket interior and simplified chassis, The original kit is labeled "Street Savage" but is the "new car" Camaro kit for 1979. Generally can be found for reasonable prices

It's a decent kit but the '79 is molded in green plastic and the grille insert has the '78 style "Z28" on the left rather than the correct emblem

Also doesn't include the wheels youre looking for- the AMT 70 1/2 might be a good donor for wheels and maybe chassis

As others said the Revell 3 in 1 is a T bar roof (i made my kit into one of the 12 CHP cars). You can easily fill the roof panels in, smooth it all, then just use a decal shaped like the one in your pic.
