INTRODUCTION: This is a gorgeous car! I saw it at a car event in
the sunlight and it stopped me in my tracks! Not only is it
stunning, it has a high quality restoration and all the features
that you want for a car that you're going to simply enjoy.
EXTERIOR: Born a Bolero red car, code R and wow does it look good.
The body is straight with excellent fit and finish throughout. The
gaps are nice and consistent, and the red paint has been polished
to a smooth, glossy finish. It appears that nearly all of the
chrome and trim has been replaced, including the vent window
frames, convertible top moldings, grille, and numerous other
exterior pieces, giving the car a fresh, crisp appearance. It is
topped with a bright white power convertible top that contrasts
beautifully against the Bolero Red paint. The weatherstrips have
been replaced throughout, and a new windshield adds to the fresh,
restored presentation. For added muscle car appeal, it's been
dressed up with SS emblems, a painted nose stripe, and front and
rear spoilers. The stance is just right, thanks to a set of 17-inch
polished Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in performance tires, with
wider rubber out back for an aggressive look.
INTERIOR: The interior is just as impressive as the exterior.
Original factory red interior car, it retains its classic Camaro
character while benefiting from a tasteful restoration. The carpet
has been replaced, the bucket seats have been professionally
reupholstered, and the door panels, armrests, and window cranks
have all been replaced. Even the center console has been replaced,
giving the interior a fresh, crisp appearance. The dash pad is in
excellent condition, and the interior metal trim has been
refinished to complement the vibrant red interior. For modern
convenience, a retro style stereo has been installed in the factory
location, preserving the original look. A set of Summit oil
pressure and temperature gauges are neatly mounted below the dash
to keep an eye on engine vitals. Completing the driving experience
is a sporty steering wheel mounted on a tilt column.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It is exceptionally detailed and presents
beautifully. At its heart is a strong running, dependable 327 V8
that is correct for the car. It has been recently rebuilt and
upgraded with a 350 horsepower cam, a Summit aluminum intake
manifold, an Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke, and an HEI
ignition system for improved reliability and performance. The
engine is finished in fresh Chevy Orange and looks fantastic. The
stock exhaust manifolds have been coated for durability, while
chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner add just the right
amount of dress up. It is equipped with power steering and an all
new power brake system, including a cadmium plated brake booster.
The alternator appears fresh, and the cooling system is complete
and proper. Attention to detail is evident throughout. The
windshield washers are hooked up and functional, new horns have
been installed, and the painted surfaces throughout the engine bay
are clean and neatly finished. Overall, this is a tidy, well
presented engine compartment.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is clean, solid metal throughout and has been
refinished with a fresh factory style spatter paint finish. The
weatherstrip and well liner have both been replaced, adding to the
fresh, restored appearance. Under the trunk lid and in the jamb,
the surfaces are painted in the same slick red finish as the
exterior. You can also see the new power convertible top motor
neatly installed, further evidence of the investment made in
restoring this Camaro.
UNDERSIDE: The suspension has been rebuilt and refreshed
throughout. I can see fresh bushings, ball joints, springs, and
shocks, giving the car a tight, well maintained feel. The brake
system has been completely gone through and upgraded with front
disc brakes. The hoses have been replaced, and the emergency brake
is hooked up and functioning properly. It also features a nice
sounding dual exhaust system with factory style transverse muffler.
The fuel system has been replaced, including the fuel tank. Looking
up at the engine, everything is exceptionally clean and detailed in
Chevy Orange. The starter appears fresh, and even the flywheel
cover is in place. The Turbo 350 three speed automatic transmission
has been recently rebuilt, and the 10-bolt rear end has also been
recently serviced. The floors are all solid, clean metal and have
been painted black for a very fresh, tidy appearance. Overall, the
underside is exceptionally nice.

vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for

CONCLUSION: Not only is this Camaro absolutely gorgeous, it's also
the kind of car you'll love to drive. The dependable 327, automatic
trans, power steering, and power brakes make it comfortable and
enjoyable whether you're cruising across town or heading to a car
show. It's a straightforward and easy to maintain car. No high tech
features to worry about, just the options you need and nothing you
don't. Every time you slide behind the wheel, you'll be driving a
car that turns heads and brings smiles wherever it goes.
