Tractor Didn’t Love This 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, A Car Parked In A Barn “Most Of Its Life”

1977 was the year that sales of the second generation Camaro went through the roof. The GM brand sold almost 219,000 units, and the Z28 became a sought-after configuration – it received almost 13,000 orders in the first year following its return.

The second success may upset Mustang fans, as the 1977 Camaro surpassed Ford’s pony in annual sales. Historical performance made the Camaro more popular than the Mustang in the United States.

Camaro record sales continued in 1978 when Chevrolet shipped more than 272,000 pieces. The popularity of the Z28 soared, with about 55,000 orders this year.

The 1977 Camaro in these photos is a true original survivor, and seller trekk00 claims it spent most of its life in a barn. The odometer shows about 60,000 miles (96,500 km), so I would take this claim with a grain of salt.

With a 305 two-barrel V8 engine and automatic transmission, this Camaro still drives and drives, although you shouldn’t consider it roadworthy. The owner states that the gas tank leaks, so you will need to install a new one before turning this Camaro into a daily driver.

The car shows the usual rust problems, but the biggest damage is on the front fender. The seller claims that a tractor ran into the Camaro and caused the dent you see in the photo, although it is unclear if the car also sustained other damage. You should see the car in person or order a third party inspection just to be on the safe side. Prospective buyers should also put the Camaro on a lift and check out the undercarriage, but the owner also shared some photos with the car underneath, and it doesn’t look like the car will need much work in this department.

The 1977 Camaro is not the most desirable collectible but still makes a great occasional driver, especially thanks to its original condition. It’s a simple project that won’t cost a fortune, as the owner posted the Camaro online for a no-reserve auction.

Digital auction begins at $8,250, and considering the lack of storage, one bid is enough to find a new home for this Camaro. However, the price seems to be too high, as no one has jumped in to buy the car despite the listings going live earlier this week. It’s expiring in three days, so this Camaro is running out of time to find a new home.

If you want to see it in person and decide if it’s worth the money, you can find the car parked in Buffalo, New York.
