Overview of 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta For Sale by Owner

The Chevy Camaro and its Pontiac Firebird sibling both debuted in 1967, as the two-salvo response to Ford’s successful Mustang. By 1970, the second generation of the Camaro was introduced, and it would carry on until 1981. This particular 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta is a proud second-generation example for you to consider if you’ve been lusting after a Camaro. Furthermore, it is a Berlinetta variant, which was a luxury trim line introduced for 1979. Packing a scant 56,000 miles, and reportedly coming with all maintenance up to date, it’s basically a turnkey classic that you can enjoy from the moment you purchase it.

Exterior and Interior

Black is a color that brings out a car’s design to a great extent, as witnessed by this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta in its dark suit. By 1979, the Henry Haga-penned design was nine years old; yet it continued to look fresh, aided by minor updates introduced from time to time. This car also wears the unique Berlinetta badging that was exclusive to the trim line. All lighting lenses are clear and free of fogging, and the car’s discrete rear lip spoiler design only adds to its muscular Seventies appearance. This is a car that will turn heads wherever it goes. Inside, there’s a comfortably appointed four-seat interior in light brown, with tan and black two-tone seating. The car sports a center console with floor-mounted gear shifter, an aftermarket tachometer and an AM/FM radio as highlights. It’s also got power windows, a B&M gear shift handle, and the requisite 85mph speedometer as was common during the time. There’s also a roomy trunk behind the passenger cabin, waiting to accept a surprising amount of luggage for a sports car.

Engine

Blessing this 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta with abundant power is a massive and newer 468ci V8 paired with a capable Turbo 400 automatic gearbox to light up the rear tires at will. We also spy some upgrades to bolster the engine’s reliability, including MSD digital ignition and a beefier cooling system. Hence, there’s quite a bit of fun to be had with driving this classic, and will definitely put a smile on your face during every drive.

The 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe represents the later evolution of the C3, and this example brings a particularly appealing ownership story to the table. Showing approximately 72,741 miles, it is powered by an L48 350ci V8 with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Finished in red over a black leather interior, it retains the classic C3 formula with removable T-top roof panels, Rally wheels, 4-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust. Even more notable, the current owner reports that this has been a single-owner car and that they have been the sole driver since new.

$24,999

The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.

1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Current Ask
$47,200

The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.
