1972 Chevrolet Camaro, Gumball 3000 rally car with EFI and A/C, no reserve

Why we picked it

This 1972 Camaro was built for the June 2026 Gumball 3000 rally (Miami to Mexico City) and, per the listing, was set up for comfort and reliability rather than outright speed. It runs a 350 with FiTech Go EFI 4 fuel injection, MSD ignition, an automatic with a Shiftworks horseshoe shifter, Vintage Air A/C, AutoMeter gauges and 17-inch Cragar S/S wheels. It is offered without reserve on a clean Georgia title in the seller's name.

Why we picked it: the bid sits at $12,000 with 11 days left, while comparable modified 1970-73 Camaros have sold for $21,000 to $54,000 in recent weeks. Bids usually climb, but with no reserve it will sell, and the expensive comfort items for a pro-touring build (EFI, A/C) are already done.

The value check

When we found it, the bid was $16,500. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $21,250–$53,900, so the middle of the market is about $37,575. That put this car 56% under.

Modified 1970-73 second-gen Camaros have recently sold from $21,250 (1970, BaT) and $28,000 (1973 Type LT, BaT) up to $53,900 (1971 RS, Barrett-Jackson). The current $12,000 bid is about 68% under the $37,575 midpoint, but bids usually climb before the close.

Where the numbers come from:

• 1970 Camaro, modified, sold $21,250 (BaT, Sep 2026)
• 1973 Camaro Type LT, modified, sold $28,000 (BaT, Sep 2026)
• 1971 Camaro RS, modified, sold $53,900 (Barrett-Jackson, Sep 2026)

What to check

• The listing gives no rust or paint details; check rear frame rails, trunk floor, lower quarters, and the cowl and windshield channel for rust.
• 1972 cars were built during the UAW strike; check panel fit and body sealing.
• Mileage is listed as TMU (true mileage unknown); judge the engine and transmission by condition, not the odometer.
• Confirm the build quality of the EFI and A/C install and ask for any rally prep or service records.
• Front subframe bushings and mounts on second-gen cars wear out; inspect them and the steering box.

Making it drive like new

With EFI and A/C already in, the next steps are a subframe connector kit, tubular control arms with coilovers, a quick-ratio steering box and four-wheel disc brakes. A 4L60E or 4L70E overdrive automatic would make highway cruising easier.

7 builders make a complete chassis for the 1970–81 Second-gen Camaro & Firebird. Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.

How it ended
