Vehicle Description
Reasonably priced early Camaros are getting harder and harder to
find all the time. Fortunately, we've discovered this very nicely
done 1967 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop with recent paint, a
great-running small block, and a nicely finished interior, all for
a very reasonable price. This is a car that's welcome and admired
at any local cruise night or car show, and that you can drive with
confidence whenever the sun is out.
Originally Butternut Yellow, this Camaro received a brightness
increase and is now wearing a vivid bright yellow paint job, a
finish that might be a relative of Daytona Yellow. With good panel
work and careful assembly, the car shows very well, and the
high-visibility finish gives it a performance look that enhances
the Camaro's shape. We really like the high performance look, which
includes a cowl induction hood and front spoiler, so it has an
aggressive attitude, and it's hard to resist a Camaro with a
ducktail spoiler on the tail. The paint is recent and has a great
shine, and as is typical with modern urethanes, a professional cut
and buff would make it really shine well. We also like that they
didn't bother making it up into a fake SS beyond the Z/28-style
stripes, so the blacked-out grille has a sinister look and the
clean, simple rear end is at odds with the in-your-face paint.
Clean and simple, with plenty of attitude.
You can't go wrong with basic black inside a Camaro, and it's done
very accurately without major upgrades. Almost everything has been
freshened, from the reproduction seat covers to the new carpets on
the floors to the crisply rendered door panels. The gauges cover
only the basics but they appear to be in original condition under a
newer dash pad, and the usual trio of auxiliary dials has been
added under the center stack. A console is a welcome addition and
houses the shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission, and you'll
note that this car has factory power windows, a nice bonus. An
AM/FM/cassette stereo has been retrofitted in the stock location,
and it's a big improvement over the original 2 watt AM unit,
although the engine is probably a lot more entertaining. The trunk
is reasonably tidy and features clean floors that suggest this car
has led an easy life in a warm climate.
Under the hood you'll find a strong-running 350 cubic inch V8 with
a bit of polished aluminum and other dress-up parts. The powerplant
includes a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor atop a Weiand aluminum
intake manifold, topped by a chrome air cleaner and a factory HEI
distributor lights the fires. There's plenty of horsepower here and
it's fully sorted so it never gets cranky, and thanks to a big
aluminum radiator with dual fans it never threatens to overheat, so
go have some fun. It's backed by a Muncie 4-speed manual
transmission driving a rugged 10-bolt rear that hangs on a set of
stock leaf springs. Long-tube headers and a dual exhaust system
provide a thrilling soundtrack and it rolls on 8-inch Rally wheels
wearing 235/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials.
With a growling V8 under the hood, this one runs extremely well,
it's got some nice options, and there isn't anyone who doesn't love
the way an early Camaro looks. This is one of those cars that just
couldn't be duplicated for the asking price. Call today!
