2800 mile 1977 Camaro on BaT

I'm cleaning the chassis on a 1967 Corvette right now and looking at this car makes me realize that the chassis weren't that nice even when they were new.

There’s discussion of the engine color in the comments. It was a change from Orange to Blue early in the model year, and this is a very early 9/76 build. The change apparently stems from this being the era when some customers were incensed that GM was putting other divisions’ engines in vehicles. There was actually a lawsuit.

I was a heavy repair tech in a Pontiac dealership when "Corporate Blue" was standardized for GM "Corporate Engines". Lot's of unhappy BOP B-body owners finding out they had a Chevy 305 in their new Delta 88 etc, leading to legal action. - Bill W
