1977 Chevrolet Camaro
Here's one cool 1977 Chevy Camaro Type LT that will be the only Camaro at your cruise night or car show that definitely draws attention, has been reborn into an awesome street machine inspired from the 70s and 80s with a tribute to that Hurst Performance culture.Now we all know about the Yenk, the NicKey, the Baldwin Motion Camaros, Camaros that people turn into Z-28 Clones, SS Clones or one of the 1000s out there with the common deck stripes paint job. Not that there's anything wrong with those, they're all cool for sure, but how about a Camaro with a little different spin. Of course back in the day we had a few certain manufacturers take on a Hurst twist like the AMC's and of course the Famous Hurst/Olds but can't let them have all the fun so hey, why not a cool 2nd Gen Camaro sporting that Hurst influence of performance and styling with a nice balanced combo of old school and modern custom personality....Started with a great canvas of an all original Type LT Camaro that has 43000 original miles, rust free original body panels, floors and factory black paint, an all original unmolested deluxe cloth Firethorn red interior and a factory console stick shift manual transmission car. Great color combo with the black body and Firethorn interior. A perfect fit with the Hurst red and black colors. This slick Hurst tribute Camaro has the following....
Exterior:Original body panels and floors except for a new custom fiberglass L-88 hood from VFN fiberglass in Addison, Il. New powder coated hood hinges along with light springs and chrome hood latch and custom hood pins were installed with the new hood.Mostly original factory paint except for a couple touch ups over the years and the new paint on the new hood, car still shows very well for mostly 46 yr old paint. All original parking lights, turn signal lenses and tail lights look great and work as they should, all trim and brightwork is original to the car except the nylon mylar chrome plastic roof rail drip moldings that fade and discolor over time have been replaced with new ones. Original factory aluminum bumpers show well and have the optioned bumper guards. Doors close excellent and tight, body gaps are as they were from the factory which were never perfect.Glass is original to the car and in excellent condition, windows roll up and down perfectlyTo compliment the inspired Hurst theme, vintage Hurst emblems were found and added alongside the Camaro emblems on each lower portion of the front fenders and on the tail panel of the car, looks great. Real GM 454 red emblems were added to the front fenders behind the side marker lights as the factory did back in the day on Chevys, gives ya an idea of what's lurking under the hood ;)Also added to the sail panels, the rear spoiler and the front nose above the grille were subtle satin black Hurst decals that give a cool contrast to the shiny black paint letting people know Hurst has influenced this machineCar had Ziebart rustproofing when new and still has the installation decal inside the drivers door jam
Interior:All original factory deluxe Type LT Cloth interior in exceptional condition, a real time capsule, with the addition of a Hurst shifter, custom color schemed pinstriped vintage shift knob, custom red digital gauges in the console and custom Hurst Supercar floor mats upfront. Gas pedal, brake, clutch and e-brake pads like new. Factory style Hurst shifter indication decal on the glove boxFactory dash gauge cluster and dash lights all work perfectly as well as dome light. Factory rear window defogger works as well as the factory am/fm stereo.
Chassis and Undercarriage:Has 4 wheel disc brakesSubframe and underside of car completely rust free and detailedSubframe has red Energy Suspensions polyurethane bushings installedAlston chassis custom round tube black powder coated frame connectors were installed (these tuck up nice)Front suspension is all new with BMR Red powder coated tubular upper and lower control arms with coil overs and powder coated oversized front sway bar with poly bushings and custom end links2" drop spindles up front with new red powder coated calipers and drilled and slotted rotorsRear suspension has new 1.5" drop performance multi-leaf springs, larger U bolts, new shackles with poly bushingsCompetition Engineering rear 3 way adjustable shocks8.5 inch factory 10 bolt posi-traction rear axle with 3.23 gears, custom performance rear end girdle cover and complete new factory component rear disc brake set up that originally came on 10th anniversary 79 Trans Ams and also have red coated calipersNew factory replacement clear coated gas tank with stainless steel straps and new sending unitStainless 3" exhaust with X-pipe from headers with chambered mufflers that have custom dumps right at the rear axleSounds awesome with a deep tone and don't sound overpowering inside the car

Transmission is a Tremec wide ratio 5spd with a 3.27 1st gear and a .68 overdrive 5th gear and is geared perfectly with the 3.23 rear axle so you still have a great holeshot and low rpms on the highway, the best of both worlds, you can drive this Camaro anywhere you like with no drivability issues11" Centerforce Clutch with a Quick Time Black Pwd Coated Steel Safety Scatter shield bellhousing with block safety plate and of course a Hurst shifter does the gear changes smoothly and tightCustom aluminum trans crossmember from American Powertrain and custom built steel driveshaft and heavy duty Spicer U joints to handle 700hp
The wheels fit the "Hurst" theme of the car with new rare Vision "Hurst" Dazzler wheels that are 17x8 with a 4.5" backspace on all 4 corners and fit perfectly in the wheel wells of the Camaro. Wrapped around the wheels are new Nitto NT 450 tires with 225/50/17 upfront and 275/50/17's on the rear
The overall appearance of the car is outstanding for its age and some of its originality, it is not a perfect 100 point show car or trailer queen, this cool piece of Americana was built to be driven and enjoyed for many years to comeThis Camaro performs and drives excellent, nice and tight, handles like its on rails, all the mechanicals on the car have only 150 test miles, the car draws attention every cruise night and show it goes to and a lot of hot rodders thought the Hurst tribute theme was a pretty cool idea....
