Deciding between a '77 z/28 or '79
Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a 2nd get Camaro and have a couple options of cars I’ve found in my area. Based on the information below, what are y’alls thoughts? As far as price, the ’77 is $2k more than the ’79. Feel free to ask any questions.
’77 Camaro z/28 - clean clear title
’79 Camaro - clean clear title
’77 Camaro z/28 - clean clear title
- Engine: 350
- Bigger cam - probably about a 280
- New Holley Street Warrior 600 carb
- Runs great, stays cool, driver immediately
- Trans: manual (model unknown)
- Rear-end: 10 bolt post trac
- Line lock
- Traction bars
- Air shocks on the rear
- Body: very small rust in the rear quarters behind the tires
- Other things I know about it:
- Interior is in good shape, not great
- Removable 6-point roll cage
- Disc brakes in the front, drums in the rear
- “Supposed to have a heavy duty pressure plate and upgraded disc. It will bite hard and has no chatter or hot spots you can feel."
- Extra parts that come with it:
- Full set of factory Z wheels with caps and beauty rings
- Another dash panel
- The rest of the A/C system
- Speedway late model lights
- Brand new set of headers in the box
- Another set of weld wheels with a different offset
- Rear anti-sway bar
’79 Camaro - clean clear title
- Engine: 350
- Unknown small cam
- “Worked heads"
- “650 carbs I believe"
- High rise tunnel ram intake
- Runs great, "180 degrees all day", driver immediately
- Trans: automatic (model unknown)
- Rear-end: unknown
- Body: no rust, frame is solid
- Other things I know about it:
- Interior in great shape
- T-tops
- Electric windows
- New wheels, good tires
- Good gas tank
- Power brakes and steering
- Probably drums all the way around
- Extra parts that come with it:
- None

Well, an update here. The blue one came back with some frame damage on the inspection and just a little more overall work than i was ready to get into. During that time the black one sold as well. BUT, i did end up purchasing this beauty! 1976 with a 383 and a bunch of other work already done; new trans, new 12 bolt rear end, long tube headers, disc brakes all the way around, tubular uppers and lowers, etc.

Thanks everyone! I love it!
Y2K, nothing too fancy. Turbo 350 with a B&M Quicksilver ratchet shifter.
Al, not sure what brand but yea, it's a 4" cowl steel hood. And yes, I'll eventually get the A/C back in. Got all the duct work for the dash to install, just need to plumb it up and stuff.
