Opinions on a 79 Camaro with LT1....

Just wandering about a 1979 Camaro with a 93 Corvette LT1 and 6spd.
The car has 12 bolt 4:56 gears in it and maybe 20-30 hp over stock. So around 300-320 hp? What do you guys figure this would run in 1/4?
How heavy are the 3rd gen camaros?
This car is local and on ebay and I was considering driving to look at it on saturday?
Is it worthwhile? for say 5-6K ??

lt1’s stock are more like 300hp…so it probly has 320-330…but sounds like a cool car

7

if its a 79, its a 2nd gen…not 3rd gen. decent car though

8

That is very cool! I’d rock it. I’d like it better painted silver though for sure.

ugliest camaros ever

3rd gen or new FTW…but thats just my .02

11

12

13

It comes with a disco ball and baggie of coke.

14

fuzzy dice and shag carpet FTW

i like it. engine bay looks really dirty though. i had a LT1 vette. it was a pretty kick-ass motor, in that car. in that older camaro platform i’d say itd be alittle less impressive, but impressive none-the-less. i’d leave the paint how it is if its in good shape. it looks cool. i dont know how in the hell you make a smokey and the bandit camaro…when that was a TA

holy mullet mobile batman

if YOU like it get it who cares what people think

i never really liked the second gens for long time. but now that i see the survivors in nice shape i like them. they handle really well believe it or not. they are a fun cars to drive. but that one with modern drivetrain is badass though

nope, I didn’t even find the time to look at it. I am sure someone would pick it up for around 5K
