If you were around in 1975, you may remember that was the year that catalytic converters were added to all new cars. That required unleaded gasoline to become more plentiful and our neighborhood station added a third pump to accommodate it. This 1975 Chevy Camaro Type LT would have had one, but it may be gone now as the engine has been reworked. The car presents as a project that has stalled and will require someone else to finish it. Located on a lift in Orient, Ohio, this Chevy is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $6,000. Kudos to Barn Finder “Ted” on this tip!

The second generation of the Camaro was in its sixth year of production in 1975 when they finally improved rearward visibility for the driver. That came in the form of a wraparound rear window, reminiscent of the mid-1960s Corvettes. Passengers may have noticed they had a little less legwork as the floors were raised slightly to accommodate those new catalytic converters which were part of the exhaust system. Overall Camaro sales were down about three percent to 145,000 and about one-quarter of the demand was for the snappier Type LT, only available with a V8 engine.

Only two V8s were offered in 1975, both 350 cubic inches in displacement. Assuming the engine in this Chevy is original, it has had some bling added to it, along with a new timing chain, oil pump, radiator, and exhaust (bye-bye catalytic?). Also, the brakes and suspension have been redone (just the front? What about the rear?). The mileage is 126,000, so it’s time for stuff like that to start getting worn.

No mention is made of rust, and the blue paint looks pretty tired. Part of the front clip is disassembled, and we assume it’s all there to put back together. The seller says there is a new interior, but it will need to be installed. We don’t know if the car runs in its current state or if more work other than reassembly is needed. The wheels appear to be aftermarket with tires that may or may not be up to the job. If you like unfinished projects, how does this Camaro sound?
