Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 396 tribute stands as one of the
best Camaros we've seen roll through our showroom. Tons of power
out of the 474 hp big block, a four speed, sinister black, hideaway
Rally Sport headlights, great wheels, and sooooo mean on the
streets...what else could you ask for?
It's hard to argue with the iconic lines of the first year Camaro.
Of course, nothing the factory was turning out in 1967 looked
anywhere near this. The full restoration took place only a few
years ago, and the results are stunning. With deep reflections in
the mirror-like black, straight body panels, and uniform gaps all
around, it instantly announces on arrival that there was a lot
invested in this mean machine. The appearance has all the great
iconic touches of the first generation Camaros. That means up front
there are features like the hideaway RS headlights, front spoiler,
white D91 "Bumblebee" SS stripe, and a cowl induction hood. There's
a Super Sport badge on each side of the car, including the rear gas
cap, that's joined by the iconic D80 spoiler. But this
midnight-slick Camaro isn't just about carrying all the best
first-gen features. The 18-inch Foose alloys give this coupe an
awesome stance, and their modern appearance hints at plenty more
performance upgrades within.
As a factory air conditioning car with the custom bucket seat
interior package, this Camaro already came from the factory with
the right interior. So, the investment inside was all about keeping
everything looking good without ruining the vintage car atmosphere.
That's why the premium seats with white stripe insert have been
restored to factory fresh. The same goes for the center console
that has been given so much attention to detail that the factory
clock still works in auxiliary gauge panel. The factory controls
for the AM radio and A/C are within easy reach to keep passengers
happy, but it's the features positioned just for you the driver
that will make you love this clean time machine of an interior.
Your left hand grips the shinny rim of the classic black and chrome
steering wheel. Your right one will never want to leave the Hurst
shifter. And nothing beats gazing at the deep dual pod gauges with
large factory speedo and tach. But from the moment you turn the
key, the rumble that this Camaro produces tells you that it's far
superior to anything from the 60s.
This might be built as a 396 RS/SS tribute on the exterior, but
under the hood is an even larger big block. This 454 V8 has been
custom built with ProMaxx Performance Freedom Series aluminum
heads, Holley 800 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performance
RPM intake, March Performance serpentine pulleys, Sanderson
headers, and much more. The result is $15K invested in the engine
bay alone, and an astounding 474 recorded horsepower at the rear
wheels. And while you can prove this Camaro's dominance on the
street, all you have to do is let them hear the rumble of the
custom dual exhaust, and your power superiority will be instantly
known. But more than just a pure muscle machine, this Camaro was
built to give you complete control. It starts with another $7K
investment in getting the close-ration Muncie M21 four-speed
fortified to handle all the power with ease. The suspension also
has all the right upgrades. In front that means a RideTech StronArm
tubular A-arm upgrade that also includes the full RideTech
adjustable suspension package. In the rear is a RideTech HQ Level 2
coilover setup. Add in drilled & vented four-wheel disc brakes,
power steering, and performance tires, and this vintage Camaro can
literally run circles around much younger machines.
We've only scratched the surface on the thousands $$$$$ spent on
upgrading this to the ultimate first year 1967 Camaro. So give us a
call, and we'll go over all the build receipts, as well as the
