2800 mile 1977 Camaro on BaT

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
