1976 Chevrolet Camaro

This 1976 Chevrolet Camaro Type LT originally arrived at Gillogly Chevrolet in West Seneca, New York. In 2020, it underwent a significant overhaul, gaining a rebuilt and overbored 350ci V8 engine equipped with SCAT connecting rods, an Eagle crankshaft, and Speed Pro hypereutectic pistons. A 200R4 four-speed automatic transmission was also installed, and the car received a fresh silver paint job. Updates to the factory F41 sport suspension in 2022 included WS6 Trans Am-style front springs, a stabilizer bar, KYB shocks, and AFCO Racing rear leaf springs.

Additional features include:

• Dark blue vinyl upholstery
• Front and rear spoilers
• 15″ alloy wheels
• Hooker headers
• Edelbrock intake manifold with a Brawler carburetor
• Power-assisted front disc brakes
• Rear window defogger
• Pioneer AM/FM/cassette radio
• Air conditioning
• Adjustable driver’s bucket seat

The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2023. It is offered with its window sticker, owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Oklahoma title.

Exterior

Factory-finished in silver, this Camaro was repainted in 2016 and features Type LT badging, recessed headlights, wrap-around taillights, front and rear spoilers, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers. In 2023, the exterior received a ceramic coating.

Gunmetal Z28-style 15″ wheels are fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, sized 225/60 in the front and 235/60 in the rear. The upgraded F41 sport suspension was modernized in 2022 with WS6 Trans Am-style springs, KYB shocks, and a stabilizer bar in the front, complemented by AFCO Racing leaf springs and KYB shocks in the rear. Polyurethane bushings were installed throughout the system. Braking is handled by power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes.

The cabin is finished with dark blue vinyl and cloth, with woodgrain vinyl accents on the dashboard. Interior features include:

• Perforated headliner
• Adjustable driver’s seatback
• Center console

A four-spoke steering wheel frames the instrumentation, which includes a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,000-rpm redline, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, battery amperage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer reads 75,000 miles, with 500 added under current ownership.
