Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
The 1967 Camaro appeared on the scene and the General instantly
became a big player in the pony car wars. The Camaro had gotten
ahead of the curve and was now a leader in the style department
because the car already looked like a car from the early 70's even
though that era was still 4 years in the future in October 1966. I
can recall the first time I saw a first-generation Camaro in the
October 1966 Popular Science new car preview edition. The 1967
Camaro was the star attraction when it debuted in the fall of 1966
and it gave the General an instant classic in the pony car
battle.
For consignment, a "worked" first generation Camaro. Maintaining
its original color combination, but now with a 350ci V8 with a
3-speed automatic transmission and upgraded for more power and
efficiency. This car presents with an amateur restoration condition
with new paint, new flooring, a new trunk floor and is a turn key
driver. Now all ready to be taken to the next level, read on and
let your Camaro dreams run wild.
Exterior
The newer versions of the Camaro are nice and all with their
neoprene bumpers etc etc etc, however there is something about the
simplicity of design with these earlier Camaro models. A thin
grille, nice small bumper with actual chrome on it just below, and
the exposed round headlights which are just not seen on cars of
today. With a very well-done Madeira Maroon respray covering the
straight steel panels which are minding their gaps very nicely,
there are minor faults, however really unremarkable. Sans badging
or any side trim for that matter gives an air of a "sleeper" ride,
but the nicely restored bumpers and Cragar aluminum slot wheels
wrapped with staggered width raised white letter Cooper Cobra
radials say let's race, and ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to
go. Oh, and let's rock and roll a little bit with a slightly raised
rear suspension, and a super cool spoiler on the trunk lid. A
blacked out tail panel for the rear along with the simple
horizontal tail lights and another small bumper with guards below.
No hidden headlights here, just pure Camaro...Light it UP!
Interior
A swing of the door, and we are met with near showroom door panels
in black vinyl with shiny window cranks, door handles and some
chrome delineation strips just for good measure. We're going in and
plopping ourselves on the pristine black vinyl buckets, which grab
you when you have a seat in them. Or grab your high school
sweetheart and have some fun on the rear bench, which appears
unused and original to this point, also in black vinyl. The angled
dash front has the deeply embedded circular gauges and knobs, and
in the center. We note temp and fan controls, and an aftermarket
AM/FM/CD neatly mounted within this section of the dash. A trio of
round black face gauges hang from the bottom, and in between the
buckets a black console with the stock chrome T-handled shifter
resides within reach of the driver. We note the shift pattern is
for a 2-speed automatic car but rest assured there is a 3-speed
automatic lurking behind the mill. Up high is a wrinkled and saggy
headliner in black and down below black carpet is showing some
slight fading and soiling. Dream ON!
Drivetrain
Our biggest changes have taken place here where the original inline
6 cylinder has been replaced with a circa 1969-1979 350ci V8,
(according to our crack decoder on the engine casting number). It
sits within the nicely restored engine bay and presents with the
black painted block, polished and ribbed valve covers, and a Moroso
chromed topped air cleaner cover. This mill ingests its air and
fossils through an Edelbrock intake manifold and 4bbl. All this
power is put through a 3-speed TH350 automatic transmission and
back to a 10 bolt rear axle. Crank that BABY!
Undercarriage
No issues seen here, just straight unadulterated steel with no
surface rust seen. New floor pans have been installed as has a new
trunk pan and headers feed down from the mill and send spent
fossils to the rear of the car via Turbo style mufflers. Drum
brakes are on the along with leaf spring suspension rear keeps the
rear end firmly planted, meanwhile more drum brakes with an
independent front coil spring suspension braves those fast
corners...Scrrrrrrreeetttch!
Drive-Ability
A good driver, quick starter, smooth shifter, and some good grabby
brakes. We did note a rough idle that clears up once the engine
gets some heat in it. The car rode smoothly, and the interior was
spacious. It's great to be able to crank the windows down on a nice
day and go for a spin so I can write about these fascinating
cars!
A generation 1 first year pony car, partially restored, with an
upgraded engine and ready to be enjoyed as is or taken to the next
level. All surfaces interior and exterior are good to go, and in
good working condition. "See the USA in your Chevrolet!"
