The absolutely sinister style of this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS
Restomod instantly grabbed your attention. And since the look is so
intimidating, you'll be glad this has a performance-built V8,
six-speed manual, and upgraded suspension to back it all up.
They really got the look right on this one. The first-year Camaros
are great muscle machines, but this goes to a whole new level. It's
not just that this has a solid investment in a seriously slick
modern black. It's also that they took some time to give this
terrific sleek details. The smooth rear pan, blacked-out
taillights, and the painted bumpers really ups the attitude and
modern style. With this much blacked-out aggressiveness, the front
air dam, ducktail rear spoiler, and Rally Sport's hidden headlight
panel are the perfect dark complements. But a Camaro cannot live on
black paint alone. The trim and faux hood louvers are now bright
standouts against the black. And it also really draws attention to
those modern alloys with the larger and wider ones in the rear (so
you really know where the rubber meets the road.)
Step inside, and this Camaro is just as deep and dark as the
exterior. This is well-done with a clean feeling of a solid
investment, but what will impress you the most is how this is
focused on the driving experience. Bucket seats and a center
console are great classic features, and now they are joined by
upgrades like the Grant GT sports steering wheel. The upgraded
readouts take a prominent place with oil and water gauges under the
dash, and there's a large tach w/shift light on the steering
column. Have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
Under the hood is serious small block power. The 350 cubic-inch V8
has a clean look with the bright block and black forged valve
covers. So it has the look that tells you it has been built for
performance. This has go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake, MSD ignition, and
long tube headers that add power while contributing to the thunder
of the dual exhaust. The Borg Warner six-speed manual transmission
gives you far more control over this enhanced power better than the
factory ever could in '67. And this feeds a proper 12-bolt rear
end. Also, take some time to look at the undercarriage photos.
You're going to see a fully upgraded suspension. It includes
tubular arms up front, CalTracs traction bars and Bilstein shocks
in the rear, and Hotchkis sway bars both front & rear. Plus, you
have modern ZR-rated tires and four-wheel power disc brakes with
drilled & slotted rotors.
This is the prestige of a first-year Camaro in a street-eating
package. So you know you need to get your hands on it right
now.
