1978 Chevrolet Camaro LT

Description

This 1978 Chevrolet Camaro LT has a well-coordinated vintage style and numbers-matching V8. And as you check out all the interesting details, you tell this is an exceptional presentation on a low-mileage coupe.

A lot of us like the 1978 car because it debuted the color-matched bumpers. And this LT-trim spec also means color-matched Rally wheels. So with this much coordination, we love to see the car in a color like Carmine Red. After all, red is a great sports car color, but this has a richness that gives it some added sophistication... and the LT is all about the mix of sporty and sophisticated. You see it so well on this example with details like the half vinyl roof, bright headlight bezels, and a three-piece rear spoiler. The low odometer represents the actual miles on this car, and so the sheet metal has the right look of less use and good respect. It's the kind of total package where you can really see the well-creased lines that made the 2nd gen Camaro so distinct. But you never have to think of this car as a museum piece. It has the right attitude and overall finish that make it ideal to hit the road and add to the low odometer.

LT stands for Luxury Touring, and this interior instantly reminds you of that. The bright white upholstery, door panels, and headliner are a terrific-looking style that also coordinates with the exterior roof. And red returns on the plush carpeting, center console, and smooth dash. It all makes for a sophisticated two-tone appearance inside and out. And details like the Delco AM/FM radio and working dome light really make this feel like a time capsule. But remember, a true classic is still a Camaro, and that means a real driver's car with high-back bucket seats, an NK4 sports steering wheel, a tilt steering column, and a full wraparound gauge panel with a large speedo and tach.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch V8. Just like the rest of the car, it has a very stock and well-preserved kind of style. And the extra-tidy look to everything - right down to the decals - lets you know they invested in this powerhouse. So it fires up readily as it inhales deeply from the four-barrel carburetor. The drive is nice, and it has easy everyday features like power steering, power brakes, and front discs.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a reproduction window sticker. It's time to add some fun miles to a well-preserved and well-presented low-mileage Camaro LT. Call today!!!
