Vehicle Description
The contrast between awesome vintage muscle car performance and a
subtle color is always an appealing undertaking, and this cool 1967
Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible looks exactly right wearing
gorgeous Butternut Yellow paint with a period 327 V8 under the
hood. Rotisserie restored to an excellent standard, it's a
beautiful 1st generation droptop Camaro that's just dying to be
pampered, ogled, driven, and enjoyed by a lucky new owner.
Although the '69 Camaro is quite likely the most popular Chevy of
all time, there are a large number of folks who think the simple
lines of the earlier 1st gen cars were exactly right. Compact, but
muscular, the first ever Camaro was a simple design that allowed
small details to have a big impact. Gorgeous code Y Butternut
Yellow is this car's original color, and it looks like a million
bucks from any angle. Super straight sheetmetal certainly helps,
and the finish quality on this car is borderline show quality,
although this is not necessarily a trailer queen. They kept the
original smooth hood without any factory inserts, and there are no
spoilers under the chin or on the deck lid, giving this F-body an
incredibly smooth bodyline design that just cuts through wind. It
came out of the factory without stripes and that's exactly how the
restorers left it, allowing that great paint work do all the
talking, and the blacked-out SS grille with Rally Sport hidden
headlights adds a touch of aggressive flair to the package without
being overbearing. Excellent chrome bumpers and bright stainless on
things like the windshield surround and rocker panels molding add a
bit of jewelry, and all that brightwork is in excellent shape as
well. And whether the brand-new black soft top is upright and
latched, or down and stowed away under the new matching boot cover,
this Camaro looks fantastic.
Inside, gorgeous code 707 Yellow buckets with black insert piping
wear fresh seat covers that replicate the original pattern with a
matching seat cover on the rear bench. All of the soft parts were
replaced or restored during the restoration, including those seat
covers, the plush carpets below, the door panels, and even the dash
pad looks like a new piece. A skinny deep-dish woodrimmed steering
wheel is pure 1960s style, with clean original gauges clearly
visible through the spokes. A factory center console splits the
front buckets and houses a chrome T-handle shifter that manages the
2 speed Powerglide automatic transmission below. Options include
Vintage A/C, which uses modern hardware and blows ice cold, a power
convertible top, and a retro-sound AM/FM/AUX radio, so you know the
former owner wanted a touch of luxury and comfort to go with his
classic droptop. Overhead there's a new black convertible top and
the trunk is fitted with a correct reproduction mat that fits
remarkably well.
Power comes from a period 327 V8 paired with a Powerglide 2-speed
automatic transmission managing the shifts just as it did
originally, and the engine bay is dressed pretty much just like it
would've been on the showroom floor in 1967. Aside from the modern
A/C compressor, it's quite correct, from the black snorkeled air
cleaner to the Chevy Orange paint on the block and valve covers. It
starts easily, idles nicely, and pulls with vigor at any speed, but
it's docile enough to drive every day. Original-style exhaust
manifolds build power and there's a brand new dual exhaust system
with stainless mufflers that sound great. Power steering and power
brakes ensure a great driving experience every time out, while the
heavy-duty 10-bolt rear end, monoleaf springs, and a new gas tank
round out the list of virtues that come with this Camaro. Handsome
15-inch Rally wheels carry recent 205/75/14 radials for a perfect
period look and modern handling.
There's a lot more than the asking price wrapped up in this slick
F-body ragtop, and the classic color combination will never go out
of style. Call today!
