Vehicle Description
Beautiful restoration in great colors. 350/4-speed. Real 3L RS,
real 4P SS350. Built 1969 350 with 4-bolt mains and aluminum heads.
New interior, new Torque Thrust wheels, upgraded brakes. A
well-restored Camaro that drives as great as it looks.Marina Blue
is always a favorite color on the Camaro bodywork, and on this cool
RS/SS coupe it looks brilliant. Backed by a pair of white Z/28
stripes, it has a fantastic vintage performance vibe. Paint and
bodywork were expertly done and it appears that it's wearing
original sheetmetal, as we can find no signs of cutting or welding
on the floors or quarters. It does have a cowl induction hood,
which is a traditional performance addition and we can't object to
it being here. A quick check of the cowl tag reveals that this car
is both a code 3L Rally Sport and a code 4P Super Sport, so it
includes all the right goodies: ducktail spoiler, hidden
headlights, a chin spoiler, and appropriate badging. 1967 is also
the only year that includes the side vent windows and does without
side marker lights, so the net effect is a very sleek, clean
F-body. The stripes are buried under the clear, so it has a
seamless look and feel, and the bright wheel arch moldings add a
little contrast. You'll also find excellent panel gaps and doors
that close remarkably well for an early Camaro-the sound is solid,
not a loose rattle. Beautiful chrome and stainless finishes off a
fantastic look and you can tell good money was spent here.The black
vinyl deluxe interior sticks to the factory formula with silver
inserts and a center console for a sporty look. There's a tilt
steering column with a custom steering wheel that feels a little
more beefy in your hands and works well with the car's personality.
Factory gauges cover only the basics, so they've added a set of
auxiliary Stewart-Warner dials down on the console, which look like
they were born there. There's no radio, but I'd argue that if you
need a radio in a car like this, you're doing it wrong, and if you
do ultimately need one it will be easy enough to install. A Hurst
shifter with cue ball knob manages the Muncie 4-speed underneath
and snaps through the gears with precision. Virtually everything is
new and shows extremely well, including the carpets, seat covers,
and door panels, but it appears that the headliner is original and
in very good condition. The trunk is very clean and finished with
correct gray spatter paint and it's just a reproduction mat away
from being ready to show.As a real SS, it would have come standard
with a 350 cubic inch V8 making 300 horsepower. The 350 under the
hood today has numerous upgrades to help it do a little better than
stock. The block itself is a 1969 3932386 casting, which means
4-bolt mains on the bottom end. There's also a slightly more
aggressive camshaft that gives it a cool idle and a fantastic
mid-range surge, as well as a set of aluminum heads that not only
save weight but add horsepower. On top there's an Edelbrock
4-barrel carburetor, but factory manifolds handle the exhaust-great
for preventing leaks and controlling heat. Note that the firewall
has been smoothed and finished to match the bodywork and there are
a few chrome pieces to brighten things up. Underneath you get an
ultra-clean chassis with no nasty surprises, just clean black
floors and factory finishes. The Muncie 4-speed doesn't mind the
350's torque churning through it and our backsides suggest that
there are punchy 3.55 gears out back. Both power steering and power
disc brakes are part of the package, and the brakes are upgraded
units from SSBC that are a nice upgrade over the stockers. All the
lines and hoses are new, the shocks are fresh, the gas tank is new,
and the dual exhaust uses Flowmaster mufflers for that traditional
V8 performance sound. 16-inch Torque Thrust wheels are the right
period performance touch, and they carry staggered 205/55/16 front
and 255/50/16 rear BFGoodrich radials. Built to be a forever car,
this is the kind of Camaro you want to own. Cost was clearly not an
issue with the build, and starting with a real RS/SS is a nice part
of the pedigree. It runs and drives superbly, with performance that
backs up the aggressive look. A fast, fun Camaro that's still
cheaper than building your own. Call today!Harwood Motors always
