For most enthusiasts, the privilege of owning a classic car isn't
about numbers or return on investment. It's about heading out on
the weekend and having a little bit of fun. It's about making a
statement and turning heads. It's about the excitement of putting
the wind in their face and the roar of an American V8 at their
back. That's why rides like this awesome Camaro have such a loyal
following. Sure, you'll probably see another one at the show. And
it might not turn into a six-figure asset over the next decade.
But, it's cool, it's stylish, it's unique and, most importantly, it
provides a whole lot of enjoyment! Want to make it yours? Your
friends at RK Motors Charlotte are happy to help!
BODYWORK/TRIM
The beneficiary of a calculated, ground-up restoration, this
first-year Camaro is the product of a lot of time spent sweating
details. From its straight panels to its Metallic Burgundy 2-stage,
the car's rock-solid metal displays great craftsmanship that's
highlighted by unique pinstripe Rally Stripes. Not surprisingly,
every seam on this Main Street king has been aligned to
better-than-factory fit. When you step close to the car's
mirror-like pigment, you'll find flat surfaces that have traveled
mere weekend miles since they were stripped to bare metal. And
ultimately, it all adds up to one very impressive classic that
looks right at home reflecting summertime car shows!
With balanced proportions and crisp detailing, the first generation
Camaro is an inherently good-looking design. At the front of this
drop-top, a billet-trimmed grille hangs traditional headlights and
'67-exclusive parking lamps above a polished bumper. At the top of
that grille, a custom Camaro header emblem leads the eye to a flat
hood, polished wipers, stainless-trimmed glass and power-operated
canvas. At the sides of that hood, the car's smooth profile centers
GM door handles and a bowtie-branded mirror above tweaked fender
emblems. And at the back of that profile, custom taillights
illuminate a D80 deck spoiler, a second polished bumper, a billet
fuel filler and a custom valance that's molded around custom
exhaust tips.
ENGINE
In its heyday, Chevrolet's 327 cubic inch small block played the
role of all things to all people. Introduced in 1962, it was
marketed as an affordable performance offering in GM's Chevrolet
and Holden lines, was perfectly suited for utilitarian duty in
Checker cabs, and eventually powered the niche Avanti II. Stare in
to this panther's smooth engine bay and you'll find a polished and
painted 327 that's rebuilt, reliable and ready to roll! Power
originates when wind whips from a polished, low-profile air cleaner
in to a coated Edelbrock carburetor, which is fed by polished fluid
lines and a coated, mechanical pump. That air/fuel mixture travels
to a polished Edelbrock Performer Air-Gap intake, which rides
between cast iron heads, billet valve covers and matching billet
breathers. Sparks get sequenced from an upgraded HEI distributor to
thick Accel Ultra Hi-Temperature Ferro-Spiral cables. Spent gases
roar through aluminized pipes via coated, long-tube headers. Charge
comes courtesy of a chrome alternator, which spins beside a coated
AC compressor and an aluminum water pump. A beefy aluminum radiator
makes good use of dual electric puller fans and a polished bowtie
cap. And details like braided hoses, a polished expansion tank, a
quality Lokar throttle linkage and Eddie Motorsports hood supports
create attractive, purposeful aesthetics.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Park this Camaro on a lift and you'll find solid, undercoated
floorpans that span a roster of upgraded componentry. Behind the
327, a proven 700R4 4-speed, perched on a tubular crossmember,
twists power to a tough 12-bolt axle. That axle rides a fully
restored suspension, which backs requisite power steering with a
sturdy rear sway bar. At the corners of those Charcoal Gray bones,
a combination of GM and SSBC calipers cinch a quartet of slotted
rotors. Charred dinosaurs float from the aforementioned headers in
to aluminized exhaust pipes, which flow in to coated Flowmaster
mufflers and coated, Mandrel-bent tailpipes. Torque meets the
pavement through polished Boyd Coddington blades, which spin
245/40ZR18 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of 275/40ZR18 Nitto
NT555 Extreme ZRs. And, as with the car's engine, excellent
detailing abounds as a polished oil pan and polished flywheel
shield reflect tubular subframe connectors and a fresh stainless
fuel tank.
INTERIOR
Swing the doors and you'll find a custom leather interior that
wraps plush, "Auto Spa" branded seats in a nice blend of classic
flash and modern flair. In front of those seats, a custom,
color-keyed dash hangs Classic Instruments All American telemetry
beside Vintage Air climate control and Pioneer MIXTRAX audio. Below
that dash, a custom, full-length console balances a small B&M
shifter between billet power window switches and a large armrest.
Beneath that console, premium carpet floats color-keyed floor mats
beneath billet foot pedals. At the edge of that carpet, sculpted
side panels look great under body-matched door frames. In front of
the driver, a polished, half-wrapped and bowtie-branded steering
wheel laps a modern, tilting column. And behind the passengers, a
custom trunk wraps dual amplifiers in more leather panels and
matching carpet.
Well-built, fully detailed and attention grabbing in every way,
this Camaro backs a lot of show with a whole lot of go. In summary,
it's what every car guy wants: speed, style and endless good times!
