Camaro in Firethorn Metallic - a photo on Flickriver

            This 1976 Chevrolet Camaro once belonged to me. With the help of my father, I bought it brand new in July, 1976 from Paramount Chevrolet in Downey, California. I paid it off once I had full-time job after graduating from college. The price was $5,350 ‘out the door.’

It had a 350 V8 with a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission. The 1976 Camaro brochure clearly stated that manual transmissions were not available in California. However, toward the end of the production year, some California-delivered Camaros and Novas were indeed equipped with them. By 1976, though, engines were so far down on power that even a medium duty Saginaw 4-speed was adequate. The VIN number revealed that it was assembled in GM's Van Nuys, California plant where it had also received its factory certification of passing California emission requirements.

The black 15" Z28 wheels were purchased from a co-worker who replaced the wheels of his circa 1979 Camaro Z28 with aftermarket accessory wheels.
