We don’t mean just ‘very good’ condition, but actually like new since it has just 87 miles (140 km) on the clock and plastic still covering the cabin as it’s been sitting in a garage for 37 years!

The car’s story, as told by the current owner, John G., is fascinating. “My father bought this car brand new in 1987,” he explains, “adding every available option. He drove it for a short while before putting it in the garage, up on blocks, where it remained for 37 years.”

Listed for sale on eBay by the son of the original buyer, this car carries a hefty asking price of $109,000. That’s a lot of scratch, but just wait til you hear the specs on this car. The 1987 Camaro isn’t particularly well-known for its hair-raising performance. It made somewhere between 190 and 215 horsepower (141 to 215 kW) depending on configuration.
That includes all of the V8 versions, of which this is one. It’s unclear whether that power was just so underwhelming that the owner parked it for good or if they intended on making it an investment. Either way, park it they did, and according to the seller, they left it, on blocks, for nearly four decades.
That seems pretty stiff considering that the MSRP on this vehicle was $21,244, with $8,011 of that price being optional extras. Among these additions were $1,045 for the V8, $866 for the removable glass roof panels, and $90 for the automatic gearbox with overdrive.
If you’re curious, according to the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, that translates to $58,895 in today’s money.
As it sits today, it appears to be as good as new based on the videos attached to the listing. Not only does this red-on-red sports car start, but it fires up almost immediately. No need to prod this Chevrolet, it seems to be ready for action.

There’s no question that six figures for any car is a lot of money. That much cash for a car from this era with only 200ish horsepower is an even harder pill to swallow. For someone looking to recapture some feelings from their teen years though, this car might be priceless.
