Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro
The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car which
appeared in Chevrolet dealerships on September 29,1966 for the 1967
model year on a brand-new rear wheel drive GM F-body platform and
was available as a 2-door, 2 plus 2 seater. The RS was an
appearance package that included hidden headlights, revised tail
lights with back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS badging, and
exterior bright trim. It was available on any model.
For consignment, a real gem with the first generation Camaro which
our consigner has owned since 1991. Since that time, he's performed
a frame off rebuild turning this once mild mannered street car into
a full out strip bruiser. Bathed it in black cherry, some fuchsia
flames, a fiberglass front end, added in a minimalistic but
effective interior, and plopped a 406ci V8 under the hood tokeep
this skate running low 10 second passes at 130+mph. Read on and you
too will be impressed by this multiple timeSuper Chevy show winner
and 1999 track champion at Maple Grove Raceway, and if you are
you'd better get your butt in here because these don't last long in
our halls. Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday...
Exterior
With it's pony car long front and short rear deck we can note all
straight rust free steel, and it's all bathed in the deep end of
the pool black cherry withfuchsia flames licking back from the
grille. A stock Camaro with hidden headlights, small thin bumpers,
hidden lamps behind the center of the grille, and chromed
trimmings. All of this presents with some inclusions in the finish,
runs, chips, cracking, and chips missing from the fiberglass
add-ons. The gaps, while nice on the steel, tend to go awry on the
fiberglass panels which include the reverse scooped hood and
fenders which are attached with Dzus fasteners. Accenting this
straight body is nice chrome and clean window trimmings and a stock
Camaro tail lights setup is seen as is the centrally located body
matching gas filler cap in the center of the rear and also the
battery kill switch. 15" Weld Prostar wheels are wrapped in skinny
5.50-15 rubber up front and sticky 28.5x12.50-15 Phoenix drag
sticks. Telling' ya...Gone like a soldier in the Civil war, Bang,
Bang...
InteriorStripped of its original interior, it now has a full roll
cage which protects high backed black vinyl bolstered racing seats
in bucket form. The lower rear seating has been removed but the
rear upper cushion remains neatly installed. The racing seats have
a 5-point harness buckle up system. These buckets flank a B&M
racing shiftersitting on the hump, and are bordered by slightly
faded black carpet. Door panels have been modified with their
smooth black vinyl panels, door pulls and cranks, with Camaro
badging. Looking towards the dash, the 2 deep dish round gauges are
there but are blocked by a pair of AutoMeter gauges and a huge
tachometer sits atop the black padded topper. Ignition and other
knobs still exist in the angled dash which is in front of a
lightweight spoked leather covered steering wheel. In the center,
the original panel retains the heater slides but the radio location
now houses a panel with numerous toggles and more auxiliary gauges
are below. Looking under the trunk lid we note a racing fuel cell,
the battery, and twin stainless steel boxes.
Drivetrain
Under the hood and my partner in crime need to slap me as I was
totally hypnotized by the machinist's dream I couldn't take my eyes
off of! What did I behold but a 406ci V8 capable of a consignor
stated 700hp. It is fed by a Barry Grant 4-barrel carburetor and is
topped with a pair of aluminum cylinder heads. Plenty of polished
bolt ons, shiny headers, MSD ignition, and an electric water pump
are noted. On the back, a built Powerglide 2-speed automatic with a
4500rpm stall converter. Way back to spin the rear tires is a
12-bolt Posi rear axle that handles all that power!
Undercarriage
All rust free with some light patina and with many add ons for
performance like a high capacity fuel pump and filter system,
independent coil racing springs upfront, and leaf spring with
slapper bars on the rear. Drum brakes are all around, and headers
are on to let the crowd know you've arrived.
Drive-Ability
This car fires up with barely a turn of the ignition, and idles
like it's ready to be unleashed. So, I did a no holds barred out to
the test track where it performed beautifully. Head snapping
acceleration, good rail like handling, and bias free stopping. All
pure 67 Camaro in true muscle form and certainly able to kick all
those asses and more. During our fast time behind the wheel we did
note that the headlights did not illuminate, nor did the brake
lights, the horn didn't toot, the wipers have been removed and the
heater blower is inoperable. She's gone! (gone), Gone!
(gone)...literally
All are just the results of a painstaking restoration, custom paint
job, a strong power plant, great racy interior look with top shelf
gauges on the dash, and the beauty of an undercarriage with goodies
to ensure things go very straight and very fast. The 1967 never
looked to the eye with so much bling, so go ahead and don the
Wayfarers on and have a look for yourself!
