I spotted this Camaro in the District yesterday. Can anyone identify the year?

'74-'77, I don't know any closer than that, except that that might be a '74 grill. The key ID here is the fat '74 -on US bumper, which got changed in '78.

You can further eliminate the '74 because of the rear window. The '75-'77 featured a wrap-around rear window that the '74 didn't have.

'74 for comparison:

I can't think of any significant exterior changes from '75-'77 that would easily differentiate between those years.

...and knowing GM, "significant exterior changes" would likely be in the form of differences in the rubber strip width, slight differences in bumper stamping, or rear light trim variation. In other words, elements impossible to ID in the photo.

Random guess: New York Ave?

Yup, '75-77.

It's a '75 or '76. They were the only ones with the silver headlight buckets.
