Vehicle Description
We sell a heck of a lot of early Camaros, so there's one to suit
every taste. This 1967 Camaro SS Restomod Tribute is for the guy or
gal who likes an aggressive approach where the hardware is
effective but the look is classic and not over-wrought. With a
crate 383 stroker V8 under the hood, a really nice custom interior
with A/C, and plenty of attitude, you can have a lot of fun with
this car and not have to sweat the little stuff.
The cool thing about first-generation Camaros is that they can be
anything from a grocery getter to a fire-breathing road course
monster. Most of them fall in the middle, with cars like this
sinister Hugger Orange coupe making up a vast majority of the
F-bodies you'll see at shows and cruise nights around the country.
It's really nice, too, with a great paint job over some
laser-straight sheetmetal that means pros did the work, not some
guy in his garage on weekends. They added an SS hood, which should
have been standard equipment because it looks so right and with a
professional cut and buff, this thing is a real show-stopper. A
proper blacked-out SS grille up front combines with the badges on
the front fenders to make it impossible to mistake this Camaro for
anything else on the road, and the white bumble bee stripe on the
front end breaks up the orange paint just enough, while the
ducktail spoiler outback adds even more aggressiveness. Chrome and
bright trim is in great shape because it's all new, and I, for one,
am a fan of the front vent windows, which disappeared after 1967
but make a big difference in interior comfort.
The custom tan interior is simply gorgeous and offers a few choice
upgrades that make this an awesome long-distance hauler. It
features power bucket seats borrowed from a late model that were
wrapped in custom vinyl upholstery, a matching rear seat, matching
door panels, and fresh black carpets, that all work together to
deliver a killer modern look. The factory center console was
painted to match the seats and houses the shifter for the 700R4
automatic below, and the matching tan dash features the same color
combination. Factory gauges were swapped in favor of digital units
and look wicked, and those windows are actually power actuated,
with the switches neatly hidden away in the center console. It has
a fully functional modern A/C system, a great-sounding retro-style
AM/FM/AUX stereo with speakers in the rear package shelf, and a
slightly fatter rim on the custom billet steering wheel. The rear
seat looks almost new and the spacious trunk is properly outfitted
with fitted carpet that fits rather well.
One glance under the hood will tell you where all the money was
spent. It's a crate 383 cubic inch stroker V8 with a host of
upgrades designed to make it fast, fun, and reliable. There's
aluminum heads, an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and 600CFM
4-barrel carburetor, and Petronix ignition, all punctuated by
bright pieces like the copper-colored valve covers and matching air
cleaner. A custom serpentine belt drive for the accessories ensures
reliability on the road and there's dual electric fans for the
BeCool aluminum radiator up front. Things like power front disc
brakes, power steering, the tubular A-arm suspension, the 700R4
4-speed automatic overdrive transmission, and the 4-link and
coilovers out back were all designed to make this vintage Camaro
feel a lot more contemporary. Long-tube headers feed a
great-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system and the stance is
exactly right thanks to slick 18-inch wheels with SS spinners
wrapped in staggered 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear Michelin
Pilot Sport performance rubber.
A fantastic build with a lot of great features, this restomod
Camaro gets almost everything right and delivers the driving
experience you've always wanted from your vintage F-body. Call
