Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro convertible SS tribute may be the first
year for this legendary name, but it has been upgraded with all the
best modern pro street performance pieces. That means a massive 502
big block under the hood, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc
brakes, overdrive transmission, and a custom/comfy interior built
for speed. So dig into all the details on this tire-burning droptop
icon.
A first-year Camaro convertible is already pretty darn desirable,
but the black paint with silver stripes instantly announces this
one is something more. In fact, your eye is especially drawn to the
high polish on the American Racing Torq Thrust wheels that also
love to highlight the extra wide rear set. And there's a good
reason to have plenty of rubber meeting the road... but more on
that in a moment. This has been given a proper Super Sport upgrade
with all the best speedy components from the first generation, like
the super scoop cowl hood, chin spoiler, and full-width D80 rear
spoiler.
While the black folding top looks great against the black paint,
with the flip of a switch, it gets even better. Because once the
roof power down, it reveals so much more about this Camaro. You see
it everywhere, from the two-tone seating that tells you this car
has style, to the multi-link roll bar that signals this one has
serious speed. Bucket seats, a center console w/horseshoe shifter,
and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo make this is a nice place to spend
some time. And we love the look of the custom door panels that have
white stitching to go with the two-tone seats. But really, you know
this is all about getting down to the business of performance.
That's why you have Simpson racing harnesses, a grippy three-spoke
steering wheel on a tilt column, and a crisp set of AutoMeter
Pro-Comp auxiliary readouts. Plus, the tach prominently mounted on
the steering column lets you know there's something special under
the hood.
All the reasons for these speedy details on the interior and
exterior are immediately understood with one look at the engine
bay. The 502 cubic-inch big block crate motor is a larger and
meaner V8 than anything Chevrolet ever did with the Camaro. While
the massive displacement would be enough for most, this one has
been enhanced and fortified further. It includes aluminum heads, a
hydraulic roller cam, Chevrolet performance intake, and a large
Holley 850 CFM double-pumper four-barrel carburetor. The full
package has a stated 502 horsepower, and the header-fed dual
exhaust has a thunderous note that announces this power
superiority. Plus, it's supported by the right components,
including an MSD ignition, steel braided hoses, and a serpentine
belt system. The whole package look fresh, and it's part of a 2005
build. Plus, in 2011 the transmission was upgraded to a
PerformanceBuilt Pro Race Series four-speed automatic transmission.
So it's a stout unit rated for up to 700 hp and delivers good
ratios, including overdrive. This feeds a strong Moser 12-bolt rear
end with an Eaton limited-slip diff w/30 spline. And the strength
doesn't end there. The undercarriage photos will show more of this
clean build, as well as frame connectors, traction bars, and
Strange Engineering rear shocks. Add in power steering, four-wheel
disc brakes, and wide BF Goodrich T/As, and this is one well-built
street machine.
Complete with build receipts, this is the kind of Camaro for those
who love big power. If you're not timid, it's time for you to call
today!
