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.

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....
