Vehicle Description
Early Camaros will always be in demand. The trick is finding one
that's both affordable and usable, a feat easier said than done.
Fortunately, there are still cool cars like this 1967 Chevrolet
Camaro coupe out there, a brilliant combination of style and
performance at a decent price.
We always like to see traditional colors, and while this one was
originally code Y Butternut Yellow (always an acquired taste), it's
been repainted in something a bit closer to Marina Blue. Marina
Blue looks great on early Camaros, especially with white stripes,
and this F-body is a handsome, straight car with a super paint job
that grabs your attention. It doesn't appear to have ever been
rusty or damaged, and I'd bet lunch that it still carries all its
original sheetmetal, simply because of how well it all fits
together. The paint job is in excellent order and is probably just
about right if you want to drive it; cars nicer than this usually
end up in a trailer and that's just no fun. Z/28 stripes and a
cowl-induction hood were added during the refresh and you can't
argue with the high-performance look. Out back there's a proper
ducktail spoiler, and it has been subtly shaved of most of its
emblems save for the 'Camaro' badges on the front fenders. It's not
like anyone won't know what it is, right? All the chrome and
stainless is either excellent original or restored, giving the car
a very honest overall look.
Nothing works better than a black "Strato" interior in your early
Camaro, and this one sports a pleasing combination of restored and
stock components, with a few thoughtful upgrades as well. The front
seats are new covers over the original frames, and it appears that
the back seat was re-covered at the same time, so it all has a
complete, all-of-a-piece look with proper white inserts. Nice door
panels, fresh carpets, and a taut headliner also add to the fresh
feeling inside, while a big Hurst shifter for the 4-speed manual
underneath delivers shifts that feel like a bolt-action rifle. It's
also worth noting that this is a factory A/C car, with the system
backed by modern components so it blows ice cold today. The
original gauges are augmented by a coolant temperature gauge under
the dash and a modern digital AM/FM radio has been fitted in the
original location. Pop the trunk and you'll find some clean
sheetmetal that's only a repro mat away from being ready to go.
The engine bay holds a nicely detailed Z Z350 cubic inch crate
motor with proper Chevy Orange paint, a billet air cleaner,
matching valve covers, and a few other dress-up items. For
performance, a GM Bowtie intake manifold and 4-barrel Holley
carburetor, aluminum heads, and a set of long-tube headers were
installed, and the engine runs beautifully. The engine has about
12,000 miles on it, along with the transmission, so it remains
fresh and ready to rock. Underneath there's a solid, clean chassis,
a rebuilt Muncie 4-speed, a fresh gas tank, and a 10-bolt rear with
3.42 gears inside. That Flowmaster exhaust system sounds wicked and
turns down just behind the rear wheels as original, so nobody will
think twice. Shiny chrome Torque Thrust style wheels fit great and
carry staggered 235/45/17 front and 255/45/17 rear performance
radials that accentuate the stance perfectly.
This is a sharp early Camaro with no needs, in a great color
combination, and with a manual transmission. What could be better?
