This 1967 Camaro is one of those cars where you can see the money before you even get close. With a show-stopping paint joband#44; a gorgeous stock-style interiorand#44; and lots of muscleand#44; 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 cant say specifically what sets them apartand#44; but cars like this that have been taken down to bare metal and rebuilt from there on up seem to just stand outand#44; as if everything were just a little more exactingand#44; the finish is just a little deeperand#44; the chrome a little bit shinier. At any rateand#44; 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 didnt seem to want to hide any of that gorgeous paint under stripesand#44; and thats the right choice. This is a true RS/SSand#44; so they kept the SS grille and hidden headlights for a very sleek look. Factory-issue badges and emblems were installed as neededand#44; so its very correct. The bumpers and much of the stainless trim is newand#44; so that stuff sparklesand#44; including the Bowtie mirrors and the cool single-element taillights. The bucket seat interior looks pretty stock at first glanceand#44; 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 lookand#44; and theres a factory center console with a trick shifter for the Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. The original dials are still in placeand#44; joined by a set of auxiliary dials down on the console that look suitably vintage. Theres a modern air-conditioning system in place that uses the dashs original eyeball vents and controlsand#44; but the factory radio is goneand#44; replaced by an AM/FM/CD head unit and speakers creatively stashed throughout the interior. Againand#44; the interior is the kind of place that looks pretty stock at first glanceand#44; but somehow its a lot nicer than other Camaros like itand#44; and its 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 didnt mess around when it came time for horsepowerand#44; either. Thats a 480 horsepower LS3 crate motor from GM Performance Parts. Tasteful use of body-colored paint and polished aluminum gives it some flashand#44; but the overall vibeand#44; like the rest of the carand#44; is OEM with a show-quality twist. A big aluminum radiatorand#44; custom intake tubeand#44; those beautiful A/C linesand#44; and long-tube headers all make it mechanically sound and a ton of fun to drive. Underneathand#44; the custom TCI tubular subframe was powdercoated silverand#44; along with the trick A-arm front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering. Out backand#44; theres a matching TCI track arm suspension with coil-oversand#44; and the 6-speed feeds a rugged 9-inch rear end with a 3.89 Posi gearset insideand#44; so its 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. Theres a build book includedand#44; but you can tell from the pictures that this was a high-dollar build. Incredibly clean and slickand#44; this Camaro stands out in a very crowded |
