Vehicle Description
Featuring an inspired restoration and an array of top of the line
performance parts, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Tribute
exemplifies those prized assets we look for in a modified muscle
car - a great combination of undeniable curb appeal and outstanding
power. Backed up by restoration photos to chronicle its evolution,
this Camaro is as configured to induce staring as much as it is for
leaving a trail of molten rubber on the asphalt.
The maroon metallic paint makes an immediate impression. Sporting a
great shine, it draws you in to admire some of the other details
you'll see upon taking a closer look. The custom hood, raised in
its center for clearance, hints at the power that lurks underneath.
It's a skillfully executed modification - it doesn't just jut
upwards as you see so often, but rather has a consistent contour
around its perimeter and, when viewed from both the front and
sides, blends in well with the rest of the car. The exterior
finishes are well looked after and the prominent Camaro front
grille has a fresh, deep black hue and the chrome trim and badging
all appear to be in fine shape. When you first look at a stellar
convertible like this, you naturally picture yourself hitting the
road for some open-air motoring, but in less forgiving weather, the
manual black vinyl convertible top raises without issue and is in
good shape, showing no obvious wear spots and even sporting a clear
plastic window in back.
Climb inside and you'll find that the black interior is in
impressive shape. The buckets up front and the bench seat in the
back show very minimal wear and have been impressively restored,
featuring the original Camaro design on their surfaces. Just beyond
the wood grain steering wheel, the stock instrument cluster remains
easily readable, and to the right a pair of additional gauges to
monitor oil pressure and engine temperature sits at the front of
the center console. The dash pad retains a fresh appearance and
shows no warpage or splits, a welcome detail with black upholstery
being so vulnerable to sun damage. In back, the trunk area is lined
with an Edelbrock Racing mat, with a multi CD changer to the side
securely anchored to the floor.
The array of performance components under the hood leaves no doubt
that this car was fully intended to run in some impressively fast
company. The very year that this Camaro rolled off the line, an
RS/SS model paced the field at the Indianapolis 500, then equipped
with a very well-regarded 396 engine. What you'll find underneath
the hood here certainly ratchets the performance up a couple of
notches, as a 454 stroked out to a full 512 cubic inches sits as
the foundation of one seriously powerful drivetrain. It's topped
with a Holley 750 and is bolted to a 4 speed Muncie M21
transmission specifically built to handle the demands of
high-horsepower engines. Inside the engine bay, there are quite a
number of custom touches, including a chrome master cylinder and
valve covers, as well as billet pulleys. A generously proportioned
aluminum radiator sits up front, matched with dual electric fans to
keep temperatures in check during more demanding driving
conditions. This truly high-performance, drop top muscle car sits
on a set of 15" American Racing wheels, outfitted with Goodrich T/A
radials.
