The best thing about being a Camaro fan is: through five
generations and 50 years of cars, GM has continuously provided a
variety of purpose-built packages that are brimming with charisma.
And today, when it comes to enjoyable classics, you simply can't go
wrong with a well-built F1. Tastefully modified first generation
cars continue to be some of the hottest selling metal on the
market. And this massaged panther has all the right ingredients to
bring big fun and even bigger appeal!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Assembled in June of 1967, this awesome Chevy is the beneficiary of
a ground-up, rotisserie restoration that transformed it from a
tired old pony into a timeless Super Sport tribute. The work began
with stripping the car's body to bare metal, and fitting a solid
center-section with fresh GM quarters. When those pieces were
smooth and tightly aligned, PPG DP90 epoxy led hours of
block-sanding. When that sanding was level, rich PPG 2-stage, a
duplicate of the car's original Madeira Maroon pigment, was raised
to a show stopping shine. And today, this Camaro is top-notch
classic that preserves some of the best attributes of Chevrolet
history!
With its great proportions and modernist panels, GM's
first-generation F-Body is an inherently attractive design. And
with today's world-class restoration techniques, it has become an
excellent canvas for any skilled builder to create a seriously nice
car. At the front of this clean F1, a black, "SS" branded grille
centers '67-exclusive parking lamps between bright headlights, a
dent-free bumper and a requisite D80 chin spoiler. Above that
grille, a Camaro-branded header leads the eye to a louvered Super
Sport hood, which founds chip-free glass behind straight stainless
trim and polished bowtie mirrors. At the sides of that hood,
sculpted fenders and dent-free rocker guards combine with
traditional door handles and an array of ornate emblems to detail
the car's glossy profile. And at the back of those fenders,
'67-exclusive taillights illuminate a D80 deck spoiler, an "SS"
branded fuel cap and a second dent-free bumper.
ENGINE
Under the hood you'll find 327 cubic inches of date-correct small
block that's been bored, balanced, blueprinted, deburred, align
honed and coated in Glyptal for better oiling. At the top of that
mean mill, a polished air cleaner hangs a quality K&N filter
element above a Holley 650 double pumper that's wired to stainless
fuel lines and a Mr. Gasket pressure gauge. Under that carb, a
massaged Edelbrock Performer RPM intake feeds massaged 461 heads
that mix a blueprinted valvetrain with a 3-angle valve job. That
valvetrain seats bronze guides, titanium retainers and Comp Pro
Magnum roller rockers amid Comp pushrods, Comp springs, hardened
seats, and stainless 2.02 and 1.60 valves. Those carefully chosen
components feed a forged crank, forged rods, a Comp solid roller
cam and Keith Black 10 to 1 hypereutectic pistons. At the back of
that cam, an aftermarket points distributor sequences spark between
an aftermarket coil and Accel 300+ wires. Cooling comes courtesy of
a re-cored radiator, which rides between a quick-spinning pusher
fan and a quality Edelbrock water pump. Lubrication is provided by
a high-volume oil pump, which siphons a Milodon 6-quart pan that's
fitted with a Diamond Stripper windage tray. Exhaust rumbles
through Hooker Competition long-tubes, which reflect polished
breathers and finned Cal Custom valve covers. Ancillaries are
top-notch in every way, with ARP studs and Cloyes timing components
accompanying a Fluidamper and pliable GM hoses. And an evenly
sprayed combination of Chevy Orange skin and Satin Black framing is
carefully interrupted by an array of correct marks and decals.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Given the power that 327 produces, it seems only natural that the
car's restorers chose to stick with GM's proven Muncie 4-speed.
That stalwart gear slinger, dressed in a blueprinted Lakewood
scattershield, utilizes a steel Hayes flywheel and quality
Centerforce clutch to twist power through a 3-inch driveshaft. That
tube is connected to a 12-bolt GM pumpkin, which is finished with
3.42 gears, 33-spline axles and .5-inch studs. That first-rate
drivetrain pushes a modified back-half, which centers 4-leaf
springs and QA-1 adjustable shocks in a full outfit of polyurethane
bushings. Opposite that back-half, a modified front-clip centers
Global West control arms, modern coil-over-shocks and a 1.25-inch
Suspension Techniques sway bar amid solid subframe bushings.
Steering and braking is true to factory form, with a power assisted
rack leading power front disc and rear drum binders. That skeleton
is dissected by a Mandrel-bent TA Performance exhaust system, which
anchors brash Flowmaster mufflers under solid floors that, like the
car's chassis, have been bead-blasted and restored to a very
authentic appearance. Those floors roll on stainless-trimmed
Rallies, which spin 215/70R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As in front of
255/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. And accessories like CalTracs
traction bars, beefy subframe connectors and a TA Performance
differential cover ensure this Chevy is ready for the strip or the
street.
INTERIOR
The Standard Black interior hiding behind this Camaro's small doors
illustrates the true, no frills intentions of Chevrolet's original
pony car. Its pleated bucket seats look and feel fantastic. In
front of those seats, a stainless-trimmed dash, which exhibits no
signs of warping or peeling, hangs original-style Auto Meter
accessory gauges below rebuilt factory telemetry and direct-fit
audio. A correct console frames a traditional Hurst shifter.
Fade-free carpet founds deluxe, Fisher-branded lap belts inside
Standard door panels that complement bright stainless with glossy
frames. familiar Super Sport Steering Wheel spins monochromatic
spokes around a big Auto Meter tach that's complete with a shift
light. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk hides a
full-size spare tire.
