Gateway Classic Cars presents a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro, representing the peak of second-generation F-body styling. This iconic muscle car features aggressive, wind-tunnel-refined aesthetics combined with comfortable, road-ready performance. Whether for nostalgic weekend cruising or as a collector's addition, this Camaro offers the unmistakable look and rumble that defined a generation.
Under the long, sculpted hood is a 5.7-liter V8 (350 cubic-inch) engine known for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and timeless exhaust note. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 (TH350) 3-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and effortless shifting.
The chassis includes a GM 10-bolt rear end with an 8.5-inch ring gear, paired with a factory independent front suspension and front disc brakes. This setup ensures a straight, balanced, and confident ride, making long trips enjoyable.
The 1979 model year refined the second-gen look with a sleek, body-colored urethane front fascia and a refreshed rear tail-light panel. The muscular lines, aggressive front spoiler, and commanding stance make it stand out at any car show or on the street.
Inside, the cabin offers a vintage Americana feel with a driver-focused dashboard, clear gauges, comfortably bolstered bucket seats, and a center console with the shifter within easy reach. It provides a tactile driving environment that highlights why the Camaro has captivated enthusiasts for decades.
This vehicle is available for viewing with over 100 HD pictures and an HD video at gatewayclassiccars.com. It is located at the Chicago Showroom, 1329 Commerce Drive, Crete, IL 60417.
