Vehicle Description
This 1967 Camaro is one of those cars you could look at for hours
and still not see everything that's been tweaked, sanded, smoothed,
or refinished. Not quite a resto-mod, it retains its original
"Camaro-ness" but polishes it in such a way that this is a lot more
than a garden-variety F-body.
The familiar Camaro shape was completely restored just a few years
ago and clearly the work was done on a rotisserie, because the
underneath is still very clean. A steel cowl induction hood was
installed during the reconstruction of the car, and it only
emphasizes the ultra-clean lines of the early Camaro. A billet
grille is a very welcome alternative to the ubiquitous blacked-out
SS piece, and smooths the look of the car for a custom look. Out
back, a ducktail spoiler adds traditional Camaro styling and while
there's an SS gas cap, the rest of the car has been almost entirely
de-badged save for basic Camaro on the front fenders. The paint is
a totally custom mix that complements the ultra-smooth look that
looks like it could slip through the air without even creating a
breeze. Like I said, you could spend hours examining this and still
be delighted by the tricks you find.
That's especially true inside, where the black bucket seat interior
successfully blends stock and modified components to create
something both tasteful and unique. Original low-back buckets look
right at home in the early cockpit, and the rear bench has been
upholstered with a matching seat cover for a very OEM look.
Reproduction door panels were used, and we're so used to seeing
cars with SS gear stuffed inside that the base model stuff looks
pretty trick. The dash also gives away the fact that this is a
factory A/C car as well, which has been upgraded with a modern
Vintage Air setup. A complete set of Classic Instruments
white-faced gauges now live in the original round pods, surrounded
by a gorgeous wood-rimmed wheel that steals some of the original
design cues. Lokar provided a billet shifter that looks like a
manual gearbox's stick but actually controls a 700R4 4-speed
automatic overdrive. And for entertainment, there's a JVC
AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo that sounds as good as the interior looks.
The engine is a snarky 355 cubic inch small block V8, heavily
massaged to generate serious horsepower. There's an Edelbrock high
rise intake and carb up top and a set of gorgeous ceramic-coated
headers feeding a 2.5-inch Flowmaster exhaust system. Beautiful
chrome Chevrolet valve covers compliment the reworked stock air
cleaner that blends styles for an all-new look and totally
functional cowl induction. A lot of extra attention went into
hiding the plumbing and electrical wiring, and as a result the
engine bay looks almost deserted aside from the handsome V8.
Underneath, the front suspension upgraded with lowering springs and
a fat anti-roll bar, plus a pair of ventilated and cross-drilled
discs. Out back, you'll find 3.73 gears which will snap your neck
but with that overdrive transmission, it still loafs along on the
highway. Oh, and another set of discs for the rear wheels, too. The
wheels are by US Mags and wear staggered 17-inch front / 18-inch
rear Nitto performance radials.
Trick Camaros like this don't come along every day, especially not
at this impossible-to-duplicate price. Call now!
