I
once again return you to Ketchikan, Alaska to bring to you the first car of
2015: what appears to be a 1979 Camaro Z28.
Ah, the late 1970s muscle cars; the cars that are all bark and not much
bite. Chevy advertised this car as the
coming from “the people who know what performance is all about”. Well, this car comes with a 350, but it makes
only 175 horsepower. That was about
right for the time.
Anyway,
this car is in overall good condition.
The paint is a little rough, there are some chips and blemishes, and the
tires could use a refill, but it’s much better than the Pontiac Ventura
featured last time. The owner told me
that the interior was refurbished, and it shows. This is a triple black car, and that can be
confirmed by checking out the really cool emblem on the front grill. Normally these are red, white, and blue, but
the three black bars gives it a nice “special edition” feel to it.
Speaking
of special editions, my
research shows that this year offered optional electronic rear window
defrosters, and this car has them. Back
in the day, this was a $99 option. With
today’s inflation, that comes out to $322!
If this car spent its entire life in Alaska, then that was a 1979
equivalent of $322 well spent.
Based
off the fact that there the an extension cord running into the car and the
interior is redone, I believe this car is in the process of getting a second
chance. Considering that most cars on
here are parked for good, this is nice to see.
However, until it’s driving down the beautiful streets of Alaska again,
it remains Rotting in Style.
