1979 CHEVROLET CAMARO

*BIDDING TIP –  Place your bids well before the final 10 seconds of the Auction Timer, to make sure it’s accepted!

AUCTION CAR:

This right hand drive 1979 Chevrolet Camaro has been treated to a complete nut-and-bolt, full rotisserie restoration, rebuilt inside, outside, and underneath to an exceptional standard. Finished in dazzling Hugger Orange, the car has travelled just 338 miles since completion and presents in true show-winning condition. Built to deliver both trophy appeal and serious performance, it can be enjoyed exactly as is or easily personalised with minor style changes for an even more individual look.

DRIVE-LINE:

Power comes from a stroked 383ci V8 fitted with high-quality internals and externals, all braided lines, and producing a claimed 500+ horsepower. Cooling is handled by a large alloy radiator with a temperature-controlled 16-inch Spal thermo fan and a separate Trans cooler. A built Turbo 400 automatic with stall converter sends power to a fully polished 9-inch limited-slip differential, while four-wheel disc brakes with braided lines provide strong stopping power. The fuel system features a large chromed drop tank, braided lines, filters, fittings, and regulator, with exhaust gases exiting through custom ceramic-coated headers and a stainless steel twin system. The engine bay is presented like a jewellery case, with billet alloy, painted, or chromed components throughout, and the underside chassis finished to the same show standard.

EXTERIOR:

Presented in mirror-smooth Hugger Orange, the Camaro’s paintwork was applied during its full rotisserie restoration to a professional flawless, high-gloss standard. The engine bay is equally immaculate, with every surface painted or polished, while the underside mirrors the same attention to detail—every chassis component either painted or polished for display. It rides on Billet Specialties alloy wheels wrapped in Kumho tyres, with painted brake calipers showing through. A fully ceramic-coated exhaust system, impeccable panel fit, and polished rear differential completes its show-quality presentation.

INTERIOR:

Inside, the car has been fully retrimmed in custom Z28-embossed leather seats front and rear, complemented by new door cards, carpet, and roof lining for a clean, tailored finish. A custom Chevrolet Bowtie gauge cluster, billet Chevrolet steering wheel, and JVC audio system with push-button start add modern functionality, while Vintage Air conditioning ensures comfort. A Quicksilver shifter controls the transmission, and all new rubbers, seals, and glass were fitted during the rebuild. The presentation is immaculate, free of blemishes, and ready for show judging.

SUMMARY:

With its flawless rotisserie restoration and impressive performance specification, this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro blends concours presentation with street-ready muscle. The claimed 500+ hp stroked 383ci V8, built Turbo 400 transmission, fully polished 9-inch LSD, upgraded brakes and suspension, and immaculate interior make it a standout choice for the discerning muscle car enthusiast. A huge investment of time and money has gone into creating this elite example—ready to enjoy, display, or fine-tune to your personal style.
