Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
In 1966 Mustangs were flying out of Ford showrooms, and Chevrolet
needed an answer. After many secret meetings, and covert internal
press events, engineers unveiled the official name for what had
been known up to this point as XP-836. Camaro was the chosen
namesake, and immediately the question became "but what does it
mean?". This question has no official linguistic answer, but as
Chevrolet marketing people would answer "It's an animal that eats
Mustangs!"
For consignment, a barn find from beautiful downtown Oley,
Pennsylvania. Our consigner snapped it up and immediately took it
to the spray wash where it shows just like it did after said wash,
and adds the car does have replaced seat coverings, which was
performed 30 years ago. The dash has all been resprayed from red to
black. Originally red from the factory now of course white and
black, and all looking great!
Exterior
With a presumably well done White respray covering the straight
steel panels which are minding their gaps nicely, consigner states
a thorough wash was all it took when he pulled it out of the barn.
It has its original black vinyl top as well as shiny chrome
trimmings. Simple RS front rocker badges, sans the wrap-around
front stripe, hidden headlights, nice shiny steel wheels with dish
trim rings and correct Camaro hub caps wrapped with Goodyear Vector
Radials. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Oh, and let's
get a little gnarly with a super cool spoiler on the trunk lid.
Interior
In stark contrast to the pure as the driven snow exterior paint of
30 years yore, inside is pure black, pure straight and true, and
now presenting as resprayed from its original red. Low back buckets
with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters in front and a
matching bench stretching its legs across the back and we find
ourselves recovered in black from original red heaven. A sleekly
styled V shaped center console in black houses the shifter that has
a white ball topper. The raked inward towards the floor styled deep
inset round gauge dash is also original, and backs up to the
factory steering wheel. Black carpeting floods the floors, and
above a tight black headliner watches over the interior.
Drivetrain
A correct 327ci V8 is in from the engine bay. This clean and good
looking mill sits within a very clean engine bay, and has a Muncie
M20 4-speed manual transmission on back. This combo throws power
back to a 10-bolt rear axle.
Undercarriage
Floor pans are rust free, as is the entire unibody undercarriage.
It appears as if a fresh coat of texture paint on black has been
put on, it's that clean. Some surface rust for the exhaust piping,
and driveshaft however these appear to have been oiled, (it's going
to burn off kids!), as they have a bit of a shine to the surface
rust. Independent coil springs for the front and leaf springs in
back and drum brakes all around and all is good to go!
Drive-Ability
An overall nicely running drivetrain that took me around the test
track and did not even break a sweat. Solid braking and handling
with the only frowns are the radio does not work, and the front
doors to the headlights will not open.
A super clean, super cool barn find, certainly not purporting to be
perfect, but a real driver and looking like it's been through some
restoration. Nicely done all around, you can be secure in the
thought that all is well with this gen 1 car that eats
Mustangs!
