Do you ever notice the modern-day equivalent of a base model Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro while in traffic? In other words, something along the lines an EcoBoost-equipped Mustang or a Camaro with the V6. Chances are, you wouldn’t, but perhaps a bone-stock example in mint condition will be somewhat sought after someday. That’s certainly the effect that this 1987 Chevrolet Camaro listed here on Craigslist has on us, as it’s a lowly V6-powered base spec, but its impressive survivor condition is worth noting. The seller is asking $10,200 for this near-spotless Camaro.

Thanks to Barn Finds reader Mitchell G. for the find. Now, while this entry-level Camaro may not be the muscular Z/28 that everyone wants, let’s not forget that the upscale version of Chevy’s predominant muscle car was not exactly a fire-breather at the time. Performance was suffering across the lineup and not just at GM; things weren’t much rosier at Ford, although they did have the turbocharged Mustang SVO at the time. The Camaro shown here is just 51K miles old and looks sharp, with battleship gray paint. The factory Rally wheels are in excellent condition.

The interior is beautiful, with cloth bucket seats that show very little wear and tear, and the same goes for the matching gray carpets. The seller notes that despite being a base model, the equipment list isn’t terrible, as the Camaro is equipped with air conditioning, power steering, brakes, and a decent factory stereo. The rest of the cockpit is pretty basic, with crank windows and manual locks. It does have the optional automatic transmission, which is the final box to check if you want the ultimate hairdresser’s spec Camaro. Ironically, the same stigma holds true today with entry-level Camaros and Mustangs, although the base model horsepower ratings have changed quite a bit.

The fuel-injected 2.8L V6 was good for about 135 horsepower when new, which places it squarely in economy car territory by modern standards. I actually think there’s an increasingly small amount of compact cars that aren’t making at least 150 horsepower these days, so times have changed quite a bit. But to my earlier point, we don’t often consider the entry-level Mustang or Camaro a model worth cherishing, and this almost guarantees that cars like this one will always grab our attention years later when you find one that was clearly loved. This Camaro was with the same owner through 2017, and hopefully, it will continue to be treated well in the years to come.
