This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro RS is finished in red over a matching vinyl interior and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Factory equipment includes a rear spoiler, color-matched Rally wheels, power brakes, bucket seats, the F41 Special Performance Suspension and Z85 Sport packages, and rear louvers. Brake work is said to have been completed recently, included turning the drums and rotors as well as installing a master cylinder, hoses, a line, and replacement calipers. This Camaro RS is now offered by the selling dealer with service records, a build sheet, dealer documents, and a clean Ohio title.
The car is finished in red (75) with a black hood and roof as well as pinstriping and Rally Sport fender badging. Features include period window louvers, a rear spoiler, and polished window trim. Per the selling dealer, the driver-side door was touched-up to alleviate a scratch and is mismatched. Areas of thinning paint are noted on the hood and roof, along with paint touch-ups.
Body-colored 14″ Rally wheels with bright center caps and trim rings wear 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires mounted in 2017. This example is optioned with the F41 Special Performance suspension along with power-assisted brakes and steering. A brake system refresh carried out in 2017 at 10k miles included turning the drums and rotors as well as replacing the fluid, master cylinder, hoses, a line, and the front calipers.
The interior is trimmed in red vinyl with a matching dashboard and carpets. Amenities include a full-length center console, an electric clock, a heater/defroster, and a replacement AM/FM cassette stereo.
A four-spoke steering wheel fronts U14 Special Instrumentation including a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer displays 12k miles.
The numbers-matching 5.0-liter LG3 V8 is equipped with a two-barrel carburetor and was serviced with a coolant flush in 2017 according to the selling dealer. Images of the trim tag and engine block stamping are viewable in the gallery below.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission and a differential with 2.41:1 gearing. Replacement exhaust components aft of the catalytic converter were fitted in 2018.
