1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Restomod

Description

The absolutely sinister style of this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Restomod instantly grabbed your attention. And since the look is so intimidating, you'll be glad this has a performance-built V8, six-speed manual, and upgraded suspension to back it all up.

They really got the look right on this one. The first-year Camaros are great muscle machines, but this goes to a whole new level. It's not just that this has a solid investment in a seriously slick modern black. It's also that they took some time to give this terrific sleek details. The smooth rear pan, blacked-out taillights, and the painted bumpers really ups the attitude and modern style. With this much blacked-out aggressiveness, the front air dam, ducktail rear spoiler, and Rally Sport's hidden headlight panel are the perfect dark complements. But a Camaro cannot live on black paint alone. The trim and faux hood louvers are now bright standouts against the black. And it also really draws attention to those modern alloys with the larger and wider ones in the rear (so you really know where the rubber meets the road.)

Step inside, and this Camaro is just as deep and dark as the exterior. This is well-done with a clean feeling of a solid investment, but what will impress you the most is how this is focused on the driving experience. Bucket seats and a center console are great classic features, and now they are joined by upgrades like the Grant GT sports steering wheel. The upgraded readouts take a prominent place with oil and water gauges under the dash, and there's a large tach w/shift light on the steering column. Have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?

Under the hood is serious small block power. The 350 cubic-inch V8 has a clean look with the bright block and black forged valve covers. So it has the look that tells you it has been built for performance. This has go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Victor Jr aluminum intake, MSD ignition, and long tube headers that add power while contributing to the thunder of the dual exhaust. The Borg Warner six-speed manual transmission gives you far more control over this enhanced power better than the factory ever could in '67. And this feeds a proper 12-bolt rear end. Also, take some time to look at the undercarriage photos. You're going to see a fully upgraded suspension. It includes tubular arms up front, CalTracs traction bars and Bilstein shocks in the rear, and Hotchkis sway bars both front & rear. Plus, you have modern ZR-rated tires and four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors.

This is the prestige of a first-year Camaro in a street-eating package. So you know you need to get your hands on it right now.
