SLICK '67 CAMARO, BIG BLOCK 396 V8, AUTO, PWR STEERING, HIDEAWAYS, TORQUE THRUST

Description

Tribute cars always seem to mimic the big-dollar machines, but this beautifully finished 1967 Camaro is a tribute to the stylish RS. With a great-running 396 inch big block block, glittering Torque Thrust wheels, and the perfect muscle car stance, it's a solid muscle car that looks and runs like a Camaro should.The paint is Hugger Orange, the archetypal Camaro color that always looks fantastic, especially with white stripes. For fans of the simplicity of the early Camaros, few colors could be better, although it wasn't technically available in 1967. It seems to emphasize the sheetmetal's curves; just look at the kick-up behind the doors and the sharp crease that runs the length of the body, neatly bisecting the doors and rear quarter. As an RS tribute, it has the traditional hidden headlights and simple single-element taillight lenses that are part of the package, as well as the requisite RS emblems on the nose. White Z/28-style stripes are always welcome and they look crisp and vivid against the orange paint, wrapping around the cowl-induction hood and the ducktail spoiler just the way the factory did it. Chrome is quite good throughout, including the front and rear bumpers, and someone has thoughtfully added a set of "396" badges on the fenders, perhaps as a warning. Complementing the Hugger Orange paint, a set of freshly restored buckets greet you when you climb aboard. Fresh black carpets and matching door panels complete the OEM look. This one also carries a few neat upgrades, including a center console, comfort-grip steering wheel, and, of course, that big block engine. Auxiliary gauges fitted at the leading edge of the center console are a Camaro trademark, and the T-handle shifter falls easily to hand for managing the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission living underneath. Entertainment comes courtesy of a newer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit that's been neatly installed in the center stack and seems to blend in with its surroundings. The back seat looks almost new, which isn't usually a surprise in Camaros, and if you open the deck lid you'll find a rust-free trunk wearing proper spatter-finish paint.Power comes from an ultra-clean and sweet-running 396 cubic inch V8. Finished in Chevy Orange with a set of chrome valve covers that are always right on a big block Chevy, it definitely has a performance look. An Edelbrock intake manifold with a big Holley 4-barrel carb help build horsepower, and in the lightweight Camaro, the big hit of torque is a real thrill every single time. There's also a serpentine belt drive system for the accessories and a big radiator up front. The aforementioned TH350 3-speed automatic feeds a 10-bolt rear end and a set of long-tube headers feed a fresh dual exhaust system that sounds downright nasty. Clean floors, a recent gas tank, and the perfect stance all add up to a car that's going to get a lot of attention. Classic polished Torque Thrusts wear 17-inch performance radials that totally fill the fenders.Nicely built, clean, and a lot of fun to drive, this is an awesome Camaro with great colors and just a bit of attitude.
