The Appeal

The third generation of the Camaro, built from 1982 to 1992, have proven to be very popular, both as daily drivers and as modern classics to wheels out for sunny weekends and shows. It’s easy to see why, with simple mechanicals and smart, angular 80s styling, they’re a very attractive car whether you;re looking to keep it standard or go down the customisation route.

Here we have a 1991 model that has been in the UK since 1992. It’s sadly seen little use over the last few years and has spent most of its time in dry storage. Having been lightly modified, it’s now ready for a new owner to either return it to its original condition, or continue to customise the vehicle according to their own taste. Whatever the case, there’s certainly lots of potential here.
