Vehicle Description
You really don't see too many of its second-generation brethren
cruising the highways these days, so this 1975 Chevrolet Camaro is
a welcome sight. It features a strong running engine that's
anchoring an eager, road ready drivetrain as well as a solid
foundation. Whether you bring it home and get the good times behind
the wheel started right away or opt for the long game as you take
the necessary steps to take it to a whole new level, there's a lot
to like right here.
Chevy took its prized muscle car through some serious changes when
it trotted out the second generation of Camaros. With a wider track
and a more aerodynamic form, they rode lower than their
predecessors for an improved center of gravity and wore a fastback
roofline to create a striking profile, amplified by the wraparound
rear windshield added the very year this '75 rolled out. Clad in
black, with a pair of broad white stripes running the lengths of
its hood and deck lid, it holds plenty of visual impact in its
present form, and some well-placed attention in the form of a trip
to the paint booth for some freshening up would no doubt elevate
its aesthetics. Reinvigorate the exterior or drive it as is -
either way you'll have a nice, solid foundation at your disposal -
certainly a huge plus as far as a classic is concerned. The
exterior alignment on this venerable Chevy looks to be strong and
solid.
There's a sharp vintage interior just beyond the doors, offering
front buckets and a rear bench seat whose two-tone black and white
color scheme ties in perfectly to the door panels on each side.
Just as is the case outside, this cockpit is ready for action just
as it stands. There are some expected signs of wear here and there
- although the back seat seems only lightly used - but there's
nothing stopping you from climbing in, taking your place behind the
thickly padded aftermarket steering wheel and getting out on the
asphalt. The dash pad spanning the width of the cabin still has its
supple look and doesn't show any cracks, and just below a Pioneer
AM/FM/CD stereo stands by to tend to your audio requests. This
Chevy left the factory with air conditioning on board and the
plumbing is still in place, but the feature will require some
attention to get it back online.
This '75 offers a road-ready running and driving condition. Its
period correct 350 cubic inch V8 sits in a stock, but well
organized engine bay with a triangular air cleaner over its Holley
4-barrel carb and is ready to roll - firing up promptly and pulling
with enthusiasm. It teams with a 4-speed automatic transmission
whose overdrive gear provides low, engine sparing revs at highway
speeds. Smooth power steering combines with the Camaro's low, road
hugging stance to make for nimble handling, while power brakes that
position discs up front provide low-effort, fade resistant stopping
ability. This Chevy classic cruises the asphalt on a set of 15"
stock wheels wrapped with Futura GLS Super Sport tires. Below, the
undercarriage appears very solid, showing no signs of having been
run aground during its travels.
With its outstanding upside, attainable price and rock solid
drivability, this 1975 Chevrolet Camaro represents a rare
opportunity. Call today!
