1976 Camaro RS (split bumper front end) I've owned the car roughly
2-3 years, was used primarily as a weekend warrior, and was daily
driven a couple weeks straight here and there. I acquired the car
from a man who brought the car back to life after sitting for 20-30
years, in a good friends driveway. He installed tons of new parts
and hardware, Such as -shocks -coils -air bags to lift and lower
car (manually which means with an air compressor or pump) -gas tank
- fuel lines - hood hinges - split bumper front end - Flowmaster
cat back exhaust (not that loud but still nice) - after market
radio with 3 speakers I believe - carpet -all hoses/belts -
distributer/plugs/wires - front break rotors and discs - rear drum
pads and springs I'm sure there's things I'm missing but you get
the picture. I wouldn't say the car was built from the ground up
but he did a nice refresh. I really only have done preventative
maintenance on this so far oil changes every 6/air filter/greasing.
The car runs very well, never gets hot even in the Ojai summer, it
will start up every morning without an issue. Runs and drives good,
suspension is good not too many creaks and rattles. Shifts just
fine, never had any problem slipping out of gear or loss of power
in gear. Also, doesn't really leak oil which is pretty sweet
considering anything this old usually does a little bit Car passes
smog with no issue ( just got it done as well as current tags) Cons
-Speedo doesn't work so odometer is stuck at 42000 ( never bothered
to check it out) -Voltage gauge is in-op (same reasoning as speedo)
- passenger door is misaligned still shuts fine just sticks out a
little on bottom half -paint is very decent painted with single
stage paint but didn't seem to use enough coats on hood, roof and
trunk lid as seen in photos - drivers sun visor is not installed -
radio only plays out of one speaker which is the one under the dash
so music can never get that loud
