Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car which
appeared in Chevrolet dealerships on September 29,1966 for the 1967
model year on a brand-new rear wheel drive GM F-body platform and
was available as a 2-door, 2 plus 2 seater. The RS was an
appearance package that included hidden headlights, revised
taillights with back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS badging,
and exterior bright trim. It was available on any model.
For consignment, a real gem with the first generation Camaro which
our consigner has owned since 1980. Since that time, he's bathed it
in ruby red, airbrushed some ghost flames, jesters, dice and a few
skulls on it, added in a custom interior, and plopped a 383ci
stroker V8 under the hood with TPI. Read on and you too will be
impressed, and if you are you'd better get your butt in here
because these don't last long in our halls. Gone like a freight
train, gone like yesterday...
Exterior
With it's pony car long front and short rear deck we can note all
straight rust free steel, and it's all bathed in the deep end of
the gem ruby red. Throughout the exterior there are some lightly
airbrushed dice, skulls and jesters along with some purple and red
ghost flames licking rearward from the grille. This is accented
with nice chrome thin bumpers, and window trimmings. In front a
chin spoiler in black is sweeping near the road. Gaps are well
minded throughout, and with the 18-inch American Racing Carroll
Shelby Special Edition polished wheels through which you can see
the upgraded disc brakes, wrapped in all season low profile black
wall rubber. I'd say just 4c condition overall, (Clarity, Color,
Cut. and Carat weight), overall. Im telling' ya...Gone like a
soldier in the Civil war, Bang, Bang...
Interior
Inside ruby red vinyl with embossed bowtie badges, billet style
actuator and crank and an inset speaker, just this is enough to get
tongues wagging'. Thin chrome accenting and all in pristine gray
painted metal make up the sills. Moving inside encased within a
roll bar, are near showroom condition low back buckets with gray
broadcloth inserts and body grabbing high bolsters in ruby red
vinyl. In back a matching styled to the front buckets rear 2 plus 2
bench is in and also looking great! Floors are flooded in gray
carpeting, unfaded and unsoiled and sporting ruby red floor mats.
The dash has been modernized with a new white faced Autometer gauge
cluster. This is flanked by the original configuration side panels
with knobs, pulls and the ignition. In the center is custom
fabricated metal panel which has a centrally located air vent on
top with the temp sliders below, a digital Sony AM/FM/CD stereo
system, and just below for the bottom is a lineup of white faced
gauges within a metal panel to keep you finger on the pulse of this
beauty. One like a 59 Cadillac, like all the good things that ain't
never comin' back...
Drivetrain
Under the hood and my partner in crime need to slap me as I was
totally hypnotized by the machinists dream I couldn't take my eyes
off of! What did I behold but a 383ci stroker with EFI in the form
of tuned port injection. Plenty of chromed and polished bolt ons,
shiny headers, and on back a 4-speed manual Muncie. Way back to
spin the rear tires is a 12-bolt, 3.55 posi rear axle so they will
both spin at the same time!
Undercarriage
Underneath looks as though it just left the showroom with pristine
black unibody construction which seamlessly melts into the floor
pans and rockers and is peppered with shiny Flowmaster exhaust
snaking its way through all the undercarriage components. This
includes independent coil over front suspension, and 4-link with
coil overs for the rear. CPP Tubular A arms are in front and Heidts
rear suspension is also seen. Also, a CPP brake kit is on front and
big power discs for the rear.
Drive-Ability
This car fires up with barely a turn of the ignition, and idles
like it's ready to be unleashed. So, I did a no holds barred out to
the test track where it performed beautifully. Head snapping
acceleration, good rail like handling, and power disc bias free
stopping. All pure 67 Camaro in non SS, RS Z/28 trim, but able to
kick all those asses and more. She's gone! (gone), Gone!
(gone)...literally
All are just the results of a painstaking restoration, custom paint
job, a strong power plant, great classic interior look with newly
configured dash, and the beauty of an undercarriage with goodies
added courtesy CPP. The 1967 never looked to the eye with so much
bling, so go ahead and don the Wayfarers on and have a look for
yourself!
