Vehicle Description
This Camaro SS 396 L35 is the real deal. This car was special
ordered on April 22, 1967 by Robert Delano at Prentice Brown
Chevrolet located in Cohasset, MA. Robert took physical delivery of
the car on June 6, 1967. It was ordered Tahoe Turquoise with a
white stripe and a deluxe white vinyl with black piping interior.
Loaded with options, it features a 396/325hp Turbojet V8 engine,
4-speed manual transmission, disc brakes, special steering, special
instruments, console, AM/FM radio with rear speaker, comfort tilt
wheel, aux lighting group and style trim group. It has tons of
original documentation such as the factory tags and stickers,
Window Sticker, Protect-O-Plate, owner's manuals, dealer special
order Bill of Sale, dealer stock tag and key tag, taxpayer
certificate, registration and keys. The original owner also kept
tons of documentation, including letters from GM, service records,
personal letters, personal notes and photos throughout the car's
history. All of the documentation is included. The car was driven
regularly until 1974 and then garaged for the next 18 years, only
being driven occasionally. The original owner transferred the car
to its second owner in 1992, who subsequently had it restored.
During the light restoration many of the original parts were
restored, or NOS and OEM parts were used. All of the original sheet
metal was taken to bare metal before the base primer and lacquer GM
Tahoe Turquoise paint was applied. The body panels still retain the
original factory stamps. The body is very nice and the gaps are
great. The hood, doors and trunk lid open and close like an
original car should. The paint is 25 years old and does have some
minor imperfections, but still shows beautifully. The original
dealer emblem is on the rear trunk lid. All of the glass is
believed to be original. It rides on factory steel Rally wheels
wrapped in period-correct Coker red line tires. The interior
complements the exterior perfectly, and everything in the interior
is in working order with the exception of the clock. The engine
compartment is nicely detailed and home to the original
matching-numbers 396ci V8 engine that was refreshed but not
rebuilt; it runs and sounds excellent. The engine is coupled to the
original matching-numbers Muncie M20 close-ratio 4-speed manual
transmission, and power is transferred to the pavement through the
original 12-bolt rear end with 3.07:1 gears. The undercarriage is
also nicely detailed throughout. The car has 27,802 original miles
(mileage not indicated on ownership document), of which 2,800 miles
were put on in the last 24 years by four owners. Finding
first-generation Camaro with these accolades isn't common. This car
has recently been completely serviced and detailed, which is fully
documented with an invoice. From the MS Classic Cars Collection.
