Vehicle Description
This 1967 Camaro is one of those cars where you can see the money
before you even get close. With a show-stopping paint job, a
gorgeous stock-style interior, and lots of muscle, this pro-built
cruiser looks like every bit of the massive build cost was money
well spent.
You can always spot the great ones because they seem to glow
compared to the cars around them. We can't say specifically what
sets them apart, but cars like this that have been taken down to
bare metal and rebuilt from there on up seem to just stand out, as
if everything were just a little more exacting, the finish is just
a little deeper, the chrome a little bit shinier. At any rate, the
spectacular Nantucket Blue paint on this car is simply stunning; a
beautiful silvery-blue that looks especially attractive when the
light highlights the metallic in the finish. A simple
production-style hood with inserts and no spoilers highlight the
traditional Camaro look and they didn't seem to want to hide any of
that gorgeous paint under stripes, and that's the right choice.
This is a true RS/SS, so they kept the SS grille and hidden
headlights for a very sleek look. Factory-issue badges and emblems
were installed as needed, so it's very correct. The bumpers and
much of the stainless trim is new, so that stuff sparkles,
including the Bowtie mirrors and the cool single-element
taillights.
The bucket seat interior looks pretty stock at first glance,
offering black Strato buckets and factory door panels for a classic
look that nobody will ever complain about. Black carpets and a
matching dash pad tie highlight the monochromatic look, and there's
a factory center console with a trick shifter for the Tremec
6-speed manual transmission. The original dials are still in place,
joined by a set of auxiliary dials down on the console that look
suitably vintage. There's a modern air-conditioning system in place
that uses the dash's original eyeball vents and controls, but the
factory radio is gone, replaced by an AM/FM/CD head unit and
speakers creatively stashed throughout the interior. Again, the
interior is the kind of place that looks pretty stock at first
glance, but somehow it's a lot nicer than other Camaros like it,
and it's the detailing that makes this one shine. Even the trunk
features its own custom carpet set and a removable panel for access
behind the back seat.
They didn't mess around when it came time for horsepower, either.
That's a 480 horsepower LS3 crate motor from GM Performance Parts.
Tasteful use of body-colored paint and polished aluminum gives it
some flash, but the overall vibe, like the rest of the car, is OEM
with a show-quality twist. A big aluminum radiator, custom intake
tube, those beautiful A/C lines, and long-tube headers all make it
mechanically sound and a ton of fun to drive. Underneath, the
custom TCI tubular subframe was powdercoated silver, along with the
trick A-arm front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering. Out
back, there's a matching TCI track arm suspension with coil-overs,
and the 6-speed feeds a rugged 9-inch rear end with a 3.89 Posi
gearset inside, so it's up for whatever fun you want to have. There
are also Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes to keep everything under
control. A custom 2.5 inch stainless exhaust with Borla mufflers
give it that awesome sound you like and virtually everything under
the car is brand new. See what I mean about a pretty big bill to
build this car? Even the attractive Torque Thrust wheels are
ideally suited to the car and wear 215/45/17 front and 255/45/17
rear tires that are just the right size.
There's a build book included, but you can tell from the pictures
that this was a high-dollar build. Incredibly clean and slick, this
Camaro stands out in a very crowded field. Call today!
