Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Custom Roadster
"The Custom Car movement as we know it really started in the early
1930's but at least a decade before that the movement was set in
motion. In the late 1910's the rich and famous demanded more
elusive cars than the cars available from Detroit. They found their
way to several of the Los Angeles local Custom Coachwork companies.
Who could create more streamlined and luxurious bodies that would
set them apart from everything else on the roads. It would help
give them even more status than they already had."

For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro custom roadster showing 3
miles, but the true miles are unknown. This one will stop you in
your tracks, as it did us, with its custom features that lend some
unique features to an already cool car. The '67 Camaro was a
revolutionary car, but this car bucks all trends and marches to its
own drum!
Exterior
Simply black, and lots of it, coats this car with a sinister vibe
that is adopted by the covered headlights within the black grille
outlined with thin bands of silver trim. Smooth panels lack any
side trim and fantastic fairings are emitted after chrome roll bars
behind the seats. Solid red tail lights mean that reverse lights
are moved to the rear valance and flank a pair of center exhaust
tips that give this Chevrolet the suggestion of muscle and speed,
as if the body, stance, color and wheels didn't already do that.
And speaking of wheels, these are 18-inch Budnik wheels holding low
profile tires in greatly staggered sizes. Shaved door handles and
the deletion of the front bumper add design elements that change
the look of the car dramatically. Imperfections include evidence of
filler in the body and sanding marks throughout the panels.
Interior
Simple leather door panels in black with streamlined hardware
reflect the smooth lines of the exterior followed by Corbeau Racing
seats with racing harness between chrome roll bar supports. The
tonneau lifts up to reveal the rest of the roll bars wrapped in
black cloth, a storage area covered in the same, and the harness
anchors. The Budnik steering wheel recalls the outside wheels and
leads to a Covan's instrument cluster with bold white faced
AutoMeter Phantom gauges with bright red needles. Glossy black
covers the main dash, reflecting the shifter in the equally glossy
center console. Low pile black carpet finishes the interior and
covers the floor.
Drivetrain
Anything this wild on the outside surely has eye candy under the
hood and indeed, the consignor stated 509ci V8 is dressed for the
party with a glossy black intake, airbrushed with a trio of skulls
and flames over polished valve covers. The engine features GMPP
aluminum heads and an 850cfm Demon 4-barrel carb, good for 610
horsepower according to our consignor. It's mated to a Tremec
TKO600 5-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch and
power is routed to the Ford 9" in back with 3.89 gears, 31 spline
TrueTrac, and an aluminum pinion support. Baer brakes do the deed
of stopping this custom in power disc formation on all four wheels.
Oh, and there's an adjustable NOS fogger system onboard!
Undercarriage
Super clean underneath and dry underneath, practically show worthy.
Dual exhaust runs from headers through FlowMaster mufflers, then
out to the twin chrome tips. The base configuration of coil spring
and 4 link with coilovers in the back is augmented by Detroit Speed
Suspension tubular control arms, and a 2" front drop spindles.
Drive-Ability
We have to admit, a two seat Camaro is pretty cool, and a lowered
black one is even better! The car has obvious power underfoot and
with its staggered tires, lowered body, and suspension enhancement,
handles very well. And it happens to sound amazing! Things we note
include the absence of wipers, the headlight doors not opening, the
speedometer not working, and the brake lights staying on for a bit
after the pedal is released. Beyond that, all functional items
operate as they should! While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
If you don't like being the center of attention, this might not be
the ideal car. But if you like talking to people and answering car
questions, this Camaro will be the center of your universe In 1946,
the Speed and Mileage Manual published, "The possessor of a custom
automobile may well expect stares of awe and admiration wherever he
drives, for in car conscious America the supreme style and
expensive appearance of a custom built automobile have long been
regarded as symbols of individuality, richness, and glamour.".
Seventy-nine years later, that's still true.
