Details
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro RS remains unmodified and shows only 89,000 miles. This well-cared-for example has been located in California its entire life and the beige paint and brown vinyl upholstery is well-preserved. The current owner has owned the car since 2000. This Camaro stands out from the many second-generation restomods and is a great example of how these cars were delivered straight from the assembly line.
This stock Camaro is equipped with a 305ci V8 producing 125 horsepower and a Turbo-350 three-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Equipped with air conditioning, 14-inch Rally II wheels, front disc brakes, power steering, and rear window louvers, this vehicle is ready for modern-day driving as well as the occasional car show.
The current owner has kept the car in good condition, with a documented history of service for the next owner. The radiator, alternator, fuel pump, coolant hoses, and valve cover gaskets have all been replaced. The owner notes that the oil was regularly changed, and the front bumper has been repainted.
The owner includes a records binder, owners manual, fire extinguisher, and a framed Vintage Chevrolet Club of America certificate in the sale of the car.
This Camaro is a Premium listing being sold by Geghard Ohanian with the Heritage Gruppe in Pasadena, California.
About the model
The second generation of Chevrolet Camaro debuted for the 1970 model year. This new generation of Camaro continued the manufacturing techniques established by its predecessor but was an entirely new car featuring much more rounded styling. The second generation was only offered in a two door coupe body style, dropping the convertible offered for the First Generation Camaro. A raft of improvements and upgrades made the new Camaro not only more comfortable, but more capable on the road. On top of the base model, the 'RS' appearance package, 'SS' performance package, and 'Z28' Special Performance Package were offered. These performance variants became less powerful and desired as production continued, largely due to external factors like fuel shortages, emissions regulations, and insurance increases. As production continued, the second-generation Camaro saw a styling facelift in 1974 and in 1978. Due to the Camaro's popularity, it was commonly modified to create Custom versions. Chevrolet built the second generation until 1981, when it was replaced by the Third Generation Camaro.
