For Sale: 1974 Chevrolet Camaro in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1974 Chevrolet Camaro Type LT

The LT option was touted by Chevrolet as combining luxury and touring and including an upgraded interior package. "You can move into a handsome Sport Coupe for less money than you might imagine. If you really want to go bananas you can add spoilers and those bold new Z28 hood and deck stripes. There's a third approach, comfortably in between. Camaro Type LT with its sumptuous interior and other elegant touches." From a 1974 print ad.

For consignment, a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro Type LT showing 46,882 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This is a one owner car, always garage kept, and get this, it has its numbers matching engine under the hood!

Exterior
Our consignor tells us this is the original coat of single stage Bright Blue and it's clean and presents as it would have in 1974 with almost no blemishes at all. Everything else is amazingly crisp on the car as well, including the polished trim, the emblems and the light lenses which, especially in the back, tend to oxidize over the years. The grille has been replaced for a clean look and lacks the red, white, and blue crest that appeared on '74 Camaros. 14-inch Chevrolet Sport wheels look right at home with the white letters of the 225/70R14's out on display, consistent with 70's trends. Imperfections are limited to a slight indentation to the paint at a wheel opening and an area of bubbling paint on a horizontal surface that looks like something may have dripped on it.

Interior
Black vinyl combines with striped cloth first on the clean door panels, then on the bucket seats up front and rear 2+2's and it's essentially in showroom condition. A Type LT badge is dead center in the four spoke steering wheel, also in great condition, and the LT package brings in a simulated burlwood faceplate to the sporty instrument cluster, replete with analog gauges and of course, the requisite clock. Wood adorns the AM/FM radio and inspired the wood housing of the added gauges below the dash. The transmission tunnel houses the floor shifter for the 4-speed and its cleanly based in a rubber boot and polished trim ring over clean black carpet and matching mats. The trunk is the only thing that shows a touch of age with the vinyl mat showing use but the space saver spare still in place!

Drivetrain
Sure, the reservoir bottle has yellowed a bit over time, but the rest of the engine is clean. This is the numbers matching 350ci L48 V8 with 185 horsepower and a 4-barrel carburetor. Behind it, a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission which routes power the 10 bolt rear axle.

Undercarriage
Minimal surface rust, some residual oil on the pans and rear differential, and some dry bushings are the only things that veer from a squeaky clean underside. Dual exhaust run through a stock style muffler and exit rather modestly under the car through two tailpipes. Power brakes are onboard as disc in front and drum in the rear while suspension includes coil springs up front and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
We step into this blue time capsule and set off onto the test loop and now we're not only impressed with its cosmetic preservation, but mechanical as well. The car runs like it's 1974 and we fully expect to hear "Let me be there" being sung by Olivia Newton John when we turn on the radio, but alas, we're still in 2025 so no good songs come across. But we digress, because the car has good power, tracks straight, and shifts smoothly as can be. Our little clock that's part of the instrument cluster is not working, it's still stuck in 1974, but all other functions on this survivor operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

More than 150,000 Camaros were built in 1974 and would you believe this is only the second we've had the honor to represent at the mall. Why? Because these cars were generally used and put away wet or modified into extinction. Here's one of the nicest original examples you're going to find and if it wasn't so fun to drive, we'd say put this thing in a museum, and that's certainly an option, but so is preserving it in a private collection and taking it out to shows. It's fantastic!
