1976 Chevrolet Camaro LT

As to myself, I am a (69) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I am retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback that is at 100% with (1,219) transactions. Many of my transactions have been muscle cars, which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Australia and the Netherlands. My reputation for honesty is well known amongst muscle car lovers.

Some Brief History on the 1976 Camaro:

After two years of watching the Ford Mustang enjoy tremendous success, on September 26, 1966, General Motors finally launched its entry into the pony car segment, the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. Although available with a mediocre six cylinder for volume sales, the Camaro could be equipped with several V8s and a myriad of performance options. Chevrolet stated that the "Camaro" was named after the French word for "comrade." The Camaro was available from the start in hardtop coupe and convertible body styles.

Thesecond-generationChevrolet Camarowas produced byChevroletfrom 1970 through the 1981model years. It was introduced in the spring of 1970. Build information for model 123-12487 was released to the assembly plants in February of that same year. It was longer, lower, and wider than the first generation Camaro. A convertible body-type was no longer available. GM engineers have said the second generation is much more of "A Driver's Car" than its predecessor.

Dubbed "Super Hugger", the second-generation Camaro was developed without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a greater budget justified by the success of the first generation. Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with aunibodystructure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs. The chassis and suspension of the second generation were greatly refined in both performance and comfort; base models offered significant advances in sound-proofing, ride isolation, and road-holding. Extensive experience Chevrolet engineers had gained racing the first-generation led directly to advances in second-generation Camaro steering, braking, and balance. Although it began its run with a number of high-performance configurations, as the 1970s progressed, the Camaro grew less powerful, succumbing, like many production cars of the era, to the pressures of tightening emissions regulations and a fuel crisis. Major styling changes were made in 1974 and 1978; 1981 was the final model year for the second-generation Camaro.

The Z28 Camaro was not available in 1976. There is no such thing as a 1976 Z28, even if you've seen or bought one on e-bay.The LT was the top of the line Camaro model in 1976. Only minor appearance changes highlighted the 1976 Camaro, most notably abrushed metalinsert in the rear tail section on the LT model. The 250 cubic-inch six-cylinder remained the standard engine in the sport coupe and a new 140-horsepower 305 cubic-inch V8 became the standard engine in the LT and base V8 option in the sport coupe. The larger 350 cubic-inch V8 was now only available with a four-barrel carburetor and 165 horsepower. Power brakes became standard on V8 models this year. The Camaro's popularity was soaring. Sales totals jumped significantly for 1976, the best year yet for the second generation, and were to improve even more dramatically as the decade progressed.

Love it or loathe it, the Camaro is one of the most popular muscle cars ever produced. For years, these cars got more exposure than the gang from Orange County Choppers.

If you extrapolate the numbers, I come up with only 1.3% of the 1976 Camaro LT's with the LM1 350, 4-speed and A/C were built. Of course this is just my extrapolation and should not be considered gospel. This LT has the Interior Decor/Quiet Sound option. Special instrumentation option. Auxiliary lighting option. Twin sport mirrors option.

Now for your consideration is this beautiful Firethorn, 4-speed, original drivetrain, with factory A/C, 1976 Chevrolet Camaro LT. This Camaro is simply in outstanding overall condition. The paint is beautiful as well as the interior. The engine compartment is very clean along with the trunk. Looking at the undercarriage, you will see that it is very clean and rust free with new dual exhaust. All gauges, lights and instruments are in good working order. The Camaro starts, stops, shifts, runs and drives down the road excellent. Remember, in 1975 and 1976, Chevrolet did not make any Z28 Camaros so this was the best you could get. Consider, there are tons of Z28 Camaros out there but try to find another Camaro like this and in this beautiful overall condition. If they are out there, I haven't seen them.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO EBAY CHANGING THEIR RULES AGAIN, I ONLY HAVE 12 PHOTOS. HOWEVER, I DO HAVE TONS MORE PHOTOS AND A VIDEO I CAN SEND TO "SERIOUS" INDIVIDUALS.
