132829 / 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/7e2qdhf You really only need one word to sum up this gorgeous '67 Camaro RS convertible: Wow. Hailing from down south, this car still carries all of its original sheet metal, including the floors and fenders, and it is in remarkable condition. The rear fender lips were replaced in 2004 when the car was repainted, and get this the work was done by a retired GM engineer who worked on these cars when they were new! The workmanship is first rate and if I didn't just tell you about the repairs, you'd probably never know they were done. With the new steel properly stitched in, the car was blocked and sanded thoroughly before a drop of the 2-stage paint was applied. Looking at the photos of the car during this process, it's clear to see that the job was done right. The car was fully disassembled, the jambs and underside were painted first, then the body once everything was assembled and aligned. Although this car is not a matching-numbers piece, it is a real 327 and a real 327 was installed in the engine bay sometime in the past. When it was rebuilt in 1998, it received an .030 inch overbore and a relatively stock rebuild on the long block, and for the first few years after it was done, it was dressed up as a stock piece, from the air cleaner to the valve covers to the exhaust. Of course, while it was apart, it was fully detailed top to bottom, with Chevy Orange paint on the engine, satin black on the engine compartment, and correct hoses and clamps throughout for a pure factory look. The owner was even careful to point out that the hood hinges and latch hardware has been properly phosphate coated as original. Sometime later, the owner dressed it up and wanted a little more power, so long tube headers were added, along with an Edelbrock intake and carburetor on top, along with some shiny dress-up items. New Harland-Sharp roller rockers were installed under the aluminum valve covers, and then it was all buttoned up again. The chassis was upgraded with factory power front disc brakes, the TH350 automatic was fully rebuilt, and the original 10-bolt rear was stuffed full of 3.73 gears on a PosiTraction limited slip. Everything was fully detailed and cleaned for show duty, and yes, those floors are original, not repainted or refinished. The suspension was detailed at the same time, but the floors were merely cleaned up. The exhaust is from Dynomax for a great sound, and the gas tank is new. Heck, this car is so clean and rust-free that the brake and fuel lines running front to rear are original! It rolls on a set of correct Rallye wheels with 225/70/14 Goodyear Eagle ST radials all around. The interior was restored sometime before the owner purchased it in 1998, and it is holding up extremely well, especially considering the limited use the car has seen in the past decade. I would almost believe that it was a well-preserved original, since it has just the right amount of patina to it. There are no rips or tears, of course, the carpet is excellent, and the original dash is very nice. An aftermarket tach has been secreted away under the dash, along with a trio of gauges above the center console for monitoring temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. Entertainment is enhanced by an AM/FM/cassette stereo system in the original hole in the dash, and no, it hasn't been cut up to make it fit, so you can go back to the boring old AM radio if that's what you prefer. "Camaro" logo floor mats have been installed, and there are seat belts front and rear. The black vinyl top is in outstanding condition, including the crystal clear plastic rear window, and features a new-looking vinyl top boot to cover it when it's folded. This Camaro is the total package, a spectacular show and go piece that will bring a smile to your face just by looking at it, with an excellent pedigree as icing on the cake.
