1967 Chevrolet Camaro

Description

Reasonably priced early Camaros are getting harder and harder to find all the time. Fortunately, we've discovered this very nicely done 1967 Chevrolet Camaro hardtop with recent paint, a great-running small block, and a nicely finished interior, all for a very reasonable price. This is a car that's welcome and admired at any local cruise night or car show, and that you can drive with confidence whenever the sun is out.

Originally Butternut Yellow, this Camaro received a brightness increase and is now wearing a vivid bright yellow paint job, a finish that might be a relative of Daytona Yellow. With good panel work and careful assembly, the car shows very well, and the high-visibility finish gives it a performance look that enhances the Camaro's shape. We really like the high performance look, which includes a cowl induction hood and front spoiler, so it has an aggressive attitude, and it's hard to resist a Camaro with a ducktail spoiler on the tail. The paint is recent and has a great shine, and as is typical with modern urethanes, a professional cut and buff would make it really shine well. We also like that they didn't bother making it up into a fake SS beyond the Z/28-style stripes, so the blacked-out grille has a sinister look and the clean, simple rear end is at odds with the in-your-face paint. Clean and simple, with plenty of attitude.

You can't go wrong with basic black inside a Camaro, and it's done very accurately without major upgrades. Almost everything has been freshened, from the reproduction seat covers to the new carpets on the floors to the crisply rendered door panels. The gauges cover only the basics but they appear to be in original condition under a newer dash pad, and the usual trio of auxiliary dials has been added under the center stack. A console is a welcome addition and houses the shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission, and you'll note that this car has factory power windows, a nice bonus. An AM/FM/cassette stereo has been retrofitted in the stock location, and it's a big improvement over the original 2 watt AM unit, although the engine is probably a lot more entertaining. The trunk is reasonably tidy and features clean floors that suggest this car has led an easy life in a warm climate.

Under the hood you'll find a strong-running 350 cubic inch V8 with a bit of polished aluminum and other dress-up parts. The powerplant includes a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor atop a Weiand aluminum intake manifold, topped by a chrome air cleaner and a factory HEI distributor lights the fires. There's plenty of horsepower here and it's fully sorted so it never gets cranky, and thanks to a big aluminum radiator with dual fans it never threatens to overheat, so go have some fun. It's backed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission driving a rugged 10-bolt rear that hangs on a set of stock leaf springs. Long-tube headers and a dual exhaust system provide a thrilling soundtrack and it rolls on 8-inch Rally wheels wearing 235/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A radials.

With a growling V8 under the hood, this one runs extremely well, it's got some nice options, and there isn't anyone who doesn't love the way an early Camaro looks. This is one of those cars that just couldn't be duplicated for the asking price. Call today!
