For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet Camaro in Columbus, Ohio

$28,995

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro. If you know second-gen F-bodies, you'll appreciate what's going on here. This Camaro has been brought back the right way, wearing a high-quality respray in its original red (75L/75U) that really pops without looking overdone. The gloss black headlight bezels add just enough contrast to sharpen the look. At a glance, it keeps that factory stance, but look closer, and you'll see it's sitting on 17-inch factory-style wheels instead of the original 15s, wrapped in BF Goodrich g-Force Sport Comp 2 tires with plenty of life left. It's also a true T-top car (RPO CC1), and unlike most, the seals have already been replaced-so you get the open-air feel without the usual headaches. All the glass, including the tops, is in excellent shape.

Inside is where this car really backs up its story. It's got the factory bucket seats (RPO A51) and the correct red cloth deluxe interior (trim code 75C), and it all presents like it's barely been used. The dash is clean and crack-free-something you just don't see often-and all the gauges and lights work as they should. Even better, everything functions: ice-cold A/C, strong heat, and a blower that actually moves air. The factory FM radio is still in place and working, which fits the car's honest, unmolested feel.

Under the hood, it stays true to its roots with the numbers-matching 305, paired to the original Borg-Warner Super T-10 4-speed. It's the kind of setup that makes these cars fun-simple, mechanical, and engaging. You've got power brakes with discs up front, the factory-style A/C compressor with the system converted to R134a, and a Rochester Quadrajet carb doing its job up top. It now breathes through a brand-new dual exhaust system running from the manifolds all the way back to the tips, finished off with classic glasspack-style mufflers for that unmistakable tone. Out back is the GM 10-bolt, and the car benefits from newer shocks, tie rod ends, and subframe bushings, so it drives tight and sorted. The VIN includes an "L" designation, indicating this is a California car. This isn't a thrown-together build-it's a well-kept, properly maintained Camaro that still feels like what it was meant to be.
