1979 Chevrolet Camaro

Description

A nicely-priced stick-shift 1979 Chevrolet Camaro that has been given some very cool upgrades is exactly why you stopped to look. But as you dig deeper and find a great mix of vintage and new – like the comfortable A/C interior and the original V8 with some great performance components added – you'll soon realize this is the speedy total package.

The exterior is a lesson in how to upgrade your Camaro while still appreciating history. After all, Cortez Silver is a great color from the first-gen Camaro and many other GM muscle machines. This slick classic wears the upgrade particularly well because we bet you have produce in your fridge that's older than this professional color application. But it's not just the investment in paint that makes it stunning; you're looking at a coupe that has averaged less than 1,700 miles annually. So a lifetime of good care means the sheetmetal is super straight. Plus, this one was given all the best Z/28-style upgrades like the long hood scoop, blacked-out front end, and full-width rear spoiler. Add in those 18-inch US Mags wheels in a coordinating shade of sliver, and you have a total package that looks far more expensive than the asking price.

Inside the factory-correct red looks great against the exterior silver. It's well preserved on the door panels, headliner, carpeting, and velour bucket seats. This classic is comfortable for family and friends with an AM/FM/cassette stereo and cold air conditioning. But the best treats are reserved for the driver. The sporty NK4 steering wheel and full gauge package, including tach, gives this Camaro a performance feel. And that's heightened further the moment your right hand grabs the dogleg gearstick boldly sticking out of the center console.

Under the hood is Chevy's desirable 350 cubic-inch V8. So you get the pride of originality and added confidence with the top end rebuilt. In fact, speaking of confidence, this one also has newer belts, hoses, and a Mallory ignition. Plus, the V8 inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with authority as Hedman long tube headers add even more power as they contribute to the rumble of the H-pipe dual exhaust. Plus, you get complete control over this enhanced motor and its performance soundtrack thanks to the original four-speed manual transmission. Out on the streets, the power steering, front disc brakes, front sway bar, and modern grip of Nitto NT555 performance tires makes for a great total package.

The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet and owner's manual. That helps you show off all the cool original features and the even cooler upgrades. This is that one classic that looks great, keeps you comfortable, and has sweet power. So If you like having it all for an affordable price, you need to hurry and call today!
