Two owner rust free California car, clean and clear California title and registration, built in Los Angeles and is an original V8 car by the VIN.

The Camaro was bought from the original owner who had it customised in the mid 70’s, she drove it for a few years then stored the car for approximately thirty years, only reviving it a couple of years ago. It has had only one repaint in 45 years. The only filler or bondo on the entire car is the little that was used to blend the rear flairs, ( a magnet sticks firmly to every panel, even the normally rusted or repaired areas such as the, truck floor, lower front fenders, quarters and lower edges of the doors, these are all rust and bondo free on this car ). The paint has faded a little over the years and there are some nicks and scratches but the exterior still looks very presentable. A good deal of time and effort was obviously spent on the painting process, as there are no signs of the original Butternut Yellow OEM paint anywhere, ( even up inside the trunk area, under the doors or hood ), the car is also hand pinstriped in the 70’s style. The front inner fenders were removed when the car was modified as was popular in the 70’s, but they will be supplied with the car.

The wheels are the original US made 70’s Ansen slot mags in 15x10 and 14x7 with new white lettered tires. The stance comes courtesy of period correct Gabriel HiJacker air shocks.

The engine is a 350 V8 with high performance heads, a mild cam, Edelbrock Torker intake, Edelbrock carb, headers and a dual exhaust. The engine does not overheat, smoke, leak any fluids or make any noises it shouldn’t. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a TransGo shift kit and B&M ratchet shifter.

The interior was redone from headliner to carpet in the mid 70’s and still looks new. New second generation Camaro seats were bought and fitted before the whole interior was tastefully retrimmed in black velour. The 70’s Radio/Cassette with additional amp and graphic equalizer still works great. The retro Dixco tach and lights and gauges work as they should. All the glass is good with no cracks or scratches.

All in all the car is an original 70’s street machine, built in the 70’s, not a recreation or an overdone restoration, no quick cheap paintjobs or amateur repairs to make it look pretty to sell. It has perfect patina and looks, sounds and behaves as a real street machine from that era should; mean, loud, fast and dangerous.

Please feel free to ask any question, any inspection is welcomed.
