Here’s one cool 1977 Chevy Camaro Type LT that will be the only Camaro at your cruise night or car show that definitely draws attention, has been reborn into an awesome street machine. Started with a great canvas of an all original Type LT Camaro that has 43000 original miles, rust free original body panels, floors and factory black paint, an all original unmolested deluxe cloth Firethorn red interior and a factory console stick shift manual transmission car. Great color combo with the black body and Firethorn interior. This slick Camaro has the following.
Exterior:
Original body panels and floors except for a new custom fiberglass L-88 hood from VFN fiberglass in Addison, Il. New powder coated hood hinges along with light springs and chrome hood latch and custom hood pins were installed with the new hood.
Mostly original factory paint except for a couple touch ups over the years and the new paint on the new hood, car still shows very well for mostly 46 yr old paint. All original parking lights, turn signal lenses and tail lights look great and work as they should, all trim and brightwork is original to the car except the nylon mylar chrome plastic roof rail drip moldings that fade and discolor over time have been replaced with new ones. Original factory aluminum bumpers show well and have the optioned bumper guards. Doors close excellent and tight, body gaps are as they were from the factory which were never perfect.
Glass is original to the car and in excellent condition, windows roll up and down perfectly.
Real GM 454 red emblems were added to the front fenders behind the side marker lights as the factory did back in the day on Chevys, gives ya an idea of what’s lurking under the hood 😉
Car had Ziebart rustproofing when new and still has the installation decal inside the drivers door jam
Interior:
All original factory deluxe Type LT Cloth interior in exceptional condition, a real time capsule, with the addition of a Hurst shifter, custom color schemed pinstriped vintage shift knob, custom red digital gauges in the console and custom Hurst Supercar floor mats upfront. Gas pedal, brake, clutch and e-brake pads like new. Factory dash gauge cluster and dash lights all work perfectly as well as dome light.

The overall appearance of the car is outstanding for its age and part of its originality, it is not a perfect 100 point show car or trailer queen, this cool piece of Americana was built to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come
This Camaro performs and drives excellent, nice and tight, handles like its on rails, all the mechanicals on the car have only 150 test miles, the car draws attention every cruise night and show it goes.
