Building a Dream: The Journey of Renewing a 1976 Camaro

1976-Camaro-Robert-Heil

When Robert Heil purchased his 1976 Camaro, he was 15 and didn't have a driver's license yet. It's just as well. His Camaro was missing two key items - the engine and the transmission. Over the course of the last four years, Robert has sourced all the parts he needs to get his Camaro running well and looking good.

A well running small block Chevy V8 that's 307 cubic inches and a solid shifting TH350 automatic transmission now reside in the engine bay. He improved the exterior's appearance with a rear spoiler and installed LED headlights to better light a path ahead. Four-point safety harnesses, a 2014 Camaro center console, and LED interior lighting make the cockpit more comfortable, accommodating, and safe. Robert also rewired his Camaro with a Painless Performance Products chassis harness. 

Kudos to You, Mr. Robert Heil!

Classic Industries thanks you for your patronage. We also appreciate your sending us a photo of your 2nd generation Camaro and the details about her renovation. Congratulations on building and getting your first car running and driving as a teenager.

Being 19, there's more roads ahead of you than behind you. Have fun driving and enjoying your Camaro!
