Up for auction is a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro. The VIN number is 1Q87L9L512484 and it is registered with the state via antique vehicle plates. The Camaro runs and drives, though it is still a project and will need some time and effort to take this vehicle to the next level. It has fairly fresh paint and looks very nice, though it does have a couple scratches in the paint. The floor pans are rust free and there is very little surface rust on the inside of the trunk pan. (...though it is solid and requires little to no attention) It has a V8 motor...assume it is a 305 but could be a 350 and it has a TH350 automatic transmission. The tires are fairly new and it has a custom (L88??) fiberglass hood. I've had the car for a while and now have my eye on another project. I've done a little work to the interior but primarily drive this car on the weekends....car shows, local drive-in, etc. I would feel very comfortable driving the car 200-300 miles, but might want a trailer if I was going much further than 300 miles. Overall, it is a fun antique car and should provide years of fun and entertainment to its new owner. The mileage is unknown...assume the 87K on the odometer is actually 187K. The Good: Virtually rust free car, nice paint job, clear title, nice centerline rims, air shocks in the rear, sounds good (flowmasters dumped at rear end), tinted windows, fairly dependable...haven't been stranded yet. Otherwise, it appears to be fairly close to stock. It does have an old ignition box in the engine compartment, though it is not hooked up. It appears as if the paint was done right...all door and trunk jams were painted, etc. I have videos of the vehicle running in a parking lot as well as videos of this car on the road. (taken from driver perspective) The Bad: 1) Leaks a little oil and transmission fluid, 2) runs rough at times, though not consistently, 3) Shifter need adjustment/tuning, no radio, interior is incomplete: no door panels, no console, no carpet/insulation, heater box and blower motor is missing, couple scratches in paint, driver door lock works but plastic piece used to hold mechanism is broken, no headliner, speedometer needle is broken (speedo does work) horn doesn't work, window tint is not perfect, etc. It runs rough occasionally and smokes when it is running rough..only occurs intermittently...I assumed the carb (quadrajet) needs a rebuild, though I am not a mechanic. It hasn't given me any real trouble and is fun to drive as it is.
