The matching-numbers 350 cubic inch V8 has been recently detailed and freshened, and despite the period in which it was built, it still offers the kind of V8 punch that made the Camaro famous. Bright blue paint and a big black air cleaner assembly dominate the engine compartment, but you’ll note that it remains quite stock, which is rather rare given that this is the most easily-modified engine on Earth. Correct hoses and tower clamps, a recent alternator, and plusses like power steering and brakes make this a car that you can pretty much drive anywhere, anytime. It’s quite possible that the exhaust system is original (the catalytic converter sure is), and it’s incredibly sanitary underneath. The 10-bolt rear end offers acceleration-friendly 3.42 gears, so it feels punchy around town without getting too busy on the highway. Turbine-style alloy wheels are virtually unmarked and wear a set of recent BFGoodrich T/A radials.
