Amidst Chevrolet’s flurry of changes for the 1977 Camaro, including the reintroduction of the Z28, two standout achievements warrant attention. 1977 marked a pivotal year for the second-generation Camaro, with sales skyrocketing to nearly 219,000 units, fueled in part by the resurgence of the Z28 variant, which garnered approximately 13,000 orders within the first year of its return.
Of notable significance, the 1977 Camaro outsold its rival, the Mustang, in yearly sales, a remarkable feat that solidified its popularity in the United States.
This particular 1977 Camaro, showcased in the accompanying photos, stands as a testament to its era, preserved in its original condition with approximately 60,000 miles on the odometer, albeit with some wear and tear.
Powered by a 305 two-barrel V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, this Camaro remains operational, albeit not roadworthy due to a leaking gas tank. Additionally, it exhibits typical rust issues and a peculiar dent on the front fender, purportedly from a run-in with a tractor.
While not the most coveted collectible, this 1977 Camaro presents an opportunity for enthusiasts as it heads to auction with no reserve, starting at $8,250. Despite initial enthusiasm, the lack of bids suggests a potential bargain for the discerning buyer, with the auction set to conclude soon.
