The ongoing build!

1967 Chevrolet Camaro.

Car was originally a 327/210hp car with a Powerglide. Was finished in Royal Plum with Parchment interior. No RS or SS or Z28, she was a plain jane coupe.

When I got the car I was 14 and it was a driving project. Had the original 327 with old-time mods (camel hump heads, headers, intake, carb, exhaust, etc) and a TH350 trans. Cosmetically as you can see below it was in orange primer and had 14" Cragar SS wheels with the old style offset that stuck the tires about 3 inches out from the fender



Over the next 7 years the car has be an ongoing project, where every piece has come off, been replaced or refinished and put back on. At one point all interior was out, front subframe off, bottom-side to bare metal, and body to bare metal. It has been a long process and there a few more finishing touches to do (audio system for example). Hoping to get some better pics this driving season. Enjoy!

That is one sweet Camaro! WOW. Nice car, beautiful paint job.

 

Very tasteful..........gotta love the '67 Camaro!

 

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. I knew what color it was gonna be as soon as I bought it. Always loved the Admiral Blue on the '96 Corvette Grand Sports.

Cheers,

 

That last picture is ART. I love it man, fantastic job!

 

Nice, I can definately appreciate the work that went into it!

 

Thanks guys, it has certainly been a long haul, but it sure does stop people in their tracks!

 

Great Job....Any left over bolts? Squirrel Crusher

 

yep....I'm liken' it....nice piece of iron right there...

 

Nice job. I am always a little jealous of folks that have skills.

 

I'd like to take credit, but in this father-son restoration the father had most of the skills and I was just the muscle!

 

BEAUTIFUL JOB 67 Camaro has alway been my favorite car.

 

One of these days I'm gonna have to do some research on Chevy's stylists / designers from 67 to 71. They really turned out some timeless classics. The Camaro, Chevelle, and Impala still look great today. There's something just right about the proportions. Nice job!
