Longer and wider than the first Camaro, the Gen 2 was produced from 1970 to 1981 with a multitude of engine choices. However, none of them came with the LS1 small-block V8 of the C5 Corvette and independent rear suspension from the C4 Corvette.
Offered with a buy-it-now price of $36,495 on eBay, this 1979 model year restomod was built over the course of five years and 3,000 hours according to the seller. “If you do not like attention, this is not the car for you,” the description also mentions.
Only 50 miles were clocked after finishing the build, and the engine purrs like a kitten thanks to factory-spec new heads and block. “All accessories are new” as well, along with the sensors, fuel system from the cap to the injectors, and driveshaft. The transmission comes in the guise of a 4L60E with a B&M ratchet MegaShifter.
Stainless-steel headers, an OBD2 port in the glove box, dual electric fans for the aluminum radiator, polyurethane bushings, and a Dana 44 “Super Duty” rear axle with a limited-slip differential and 3.07 gears are featured as well. The seller has also aligned everything with laser precision, ensuring the car’s road holding.
All-new brakes from the pedal to each corner of the ‘Maro and Corvette rear rotors are on the menu too, and as far as the body is concerned, the only non-original panel is the replacement hood. The glass and sunroof are also new, and if you take one look at the interior, you’ll also notice plenty of top-notch details such as the re-covered seats and Marshall gauges. As far as the rubber shoes are concerned, they’re wrapped around 17- by 7.5- and 17- by 8.5-inch wheels, front and rear.
Currently located in Salem, Massachusetts, the LS1-powered pony with Corvette rear suspension had its underside coated with a kevlar bedliner spray for extra protection against corrosion. The window, door, and trunk seals were replaced with fresh rubber as well. The finishing touch? That comes in the guise of light-emitting diodes. “Every single interior and exterior light is LED” according to byllbo21 on eBay.
