Vehicle Description
We don't see all that many '67 Camaro convertibles around these
days and certainly even fewer as nice as this one. With its classy,
understated color scheme, factory-correct drivetrain still intact
and an impressive amount of documentation on hand to chronicle the
work that's been done to bring it to its current impressive
condition, it is equally at home as a frequent driver and an
automotive investment vehicle.
Clad in a Nantucket Blue color that replaces its original yellow,
this is a car that easily captures your attention without
"shouting". It's a great looking shade to begin with, and being one
of Chevy's offerings when this Camaro debuted, it's no wonder that
it looks so appropriate. The broad white stripes running the length
of the hood and deck lid are no mere decals - they're painted on
and are a faithful recreation of the striping option Chevy first
offered the very year this car came out. And while they were at it,
they completed the look with a blacked-out SS grill, fresh SS
badges and impressively clean and straight chrome bumpers both fore
and aft. Drop top devotees are known to push the climatic
conditions during which they enjoy open air motoring, but when
protection from the elements is needed, the power black vinyl
convertible top is in very nice shape and well-fitted, raising and
lowering with no issues and sporting a clear window in back.
The black vinyl interior has been thoroughly refurbished and hasn't
seen a lot of activity, as the surfaces across the front buckets
and rear bench seat show almost no wear at all. Featuring a very
nice custom, but period-appropriate workmanship, they sit above a
fresh expanse of black carpeting protected in front by a pair of
floor mats bearing the signature Chevy bowtie. Behind that really
nice woodgrain steering wheel, the dash area is a great example of
mid-'60s muscle car styling, with its wood grain accents carefully
resuscitated and the full assortment of gauges, including the trio
residing front and center on the console, very readable through
their clear lenses. Dash pads are all too often a problem area with
black upholstery, and doubly so in convertibles due to sun damage,
but this one has escaped the ravages of UV exposure and remains
supple and straight. An 8-track player (complete with a box of
8-tracks!) sits just under the glove box as a reminder of this
Camaro's era, but an AM/FM system with IPod connectivity is also on
hand to serve your audio needs in a more contemporary manner.
Should your travels ever include an errant nail or other road
hazard, a full-sized spare with a lot of tread sits in back in the
trunk area.
The factory correct drivetrain, featuring a 327 cubic inch V8
paired with an automatic PowerGlide transmission, is in good form,
starting right up, running smoothly and shifting with all the
precision you'd want in a frequent, or even daily driver. Already a
very well regarded powerplant to begin with, the 327 under the
distinct SS hood further benefits from the addition of an Edelbrock
intake and 4-barrel carb. As nicely as this car shows, it's got the
road manners to match with the aid of Hotchkis subframe connectors,
power steering that remains reassuringly precise and power front
disc brakes that bring it to a stop in short order. This drop top
Chevy classic sits on a set of 15" Cragar rims, outfitted with
Michelin radials.
