You are viewing an original, 1967 convertible Camaro with the rally sport package. It has the numbers-matching 327/210hp engine, mated to a Powerglide transmission. It's a great driver, start right up and runs great. It really just needs new paint to complete it.

I purchased the car in August, 1999 from a private owner in Orlando, Florida, where I lived at the time. I drove this car nearly every day to my job in Florida, which was just 2 miles from my home. I also drove it for pleasure and occasional cruise nights. In 2005, I moved to New Jersey, and the car has been garage kept and only driven a few times a summer since.

Immediately after buying the car, I had the engine completely rebuilt. I have put about 19,000 miles on the rebuilt engine since then. In the following years, I replaced or upgraded numerous parts in the engine bay as well as the interior and exterior. This included a new power convertible top as well as the related top and hydraulics. I kept virtually every receipt for parts ordered and work done on the car and can provide them to the buyer.

I made several upgrades to improve drivability and comfort, but always with an eye toward maintaining the stock appearance, while also keeping all original parts so that it could be returned to stock. I had a Vintage Air conditioning system professionally installed, along with original-style vents in the dash to maintain the stock appearance. The wheels are now 16-inch chrome by Wheel Vintiques, with the original style dog-dish caps for 1967. I added an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold, Hedman headers, and a custom dual exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers (not too loud, just a nice, throaty rumble). In addition the car was lowered 2-inches with a thicker sway bar when the front-end was rebuilt.

As I said, I still have the original intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, 2-barrel carb, and snorkel air intake, which will be given to the winner of this auction. Also included is the convertible top boot (fits over the top when it is down), as well as a custom-fitted car cover, and the owners manual. The car is column shifted. The person I purchased this car from had plans to convert it to floor shifted and gave me an original console. I will pass this along to the next owner as well.

This is a great car that gets a lot of compliments. Except for the windshield wiper fluid pump, which I could never get to function right, everything on this car works, including the electric hideaway headlights. It does have some faults, mainly with the paint and body: There are spots caused by bubbling on the hood (see picture) and some dings and scratches, and paint fading on the trunk lid. I can tell there is body putty on the rear fenders and between the convertible top window and trunk lid. The front header panel has a dent in the nose: I have a replacement panel to be included with the sale.

There are tears on the driver side seat (see picture) and what looks to be the impression of a belt buckle on that same seat. The transmission has had a slight leak since the day I owned the car; every few months I add a quart of fluid. The drive selector on the column sometimes slips from D to L at stop lights. This started with the addition of the headers, which are up against a bracket that holds the transmission linkage. I believe when the linkage heats up it slips downward. The bracket will either need to be relocated or the headers removed to correct the problem. When the problem does occur, I simply push the shifter back to D and away I go. It does not happen on every drive, but I want to be honest.

I love this car, but with two small children I simply do not have the time for it anymore. Like I said it's a great car, and will provide hours of top-down fun to anyone who buys it. Thank you for considering it.

On Jul-31-13 at 12:48:20 PDT, seller added the following information:

I want to make a clarification of my use of the phrase "numbers matching" to describe the engine. In 1967, the lower horsepower engines such as this one did not get a partial VIN code stamped on the block, so the numbers must be "matched" by date. My engine stamping indicates that it was manufactured in the fourth week of December (I'm assuming of 1966). Likewise, the cowl tag says the body was manufactured on December 22 (also, I'm assuming, of '66). So that is as close to a match as possible for this engine and car. I'm sure many Chevy and Camaro experts already know this, but I want to avoid any confusion or concern with the auction winner. Thanks.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.

Chevy reveals new IndyCar aero package

Tue, Feb 17 2015

The IndyCar Series is not one that demands its participating teams and automakers to design their own chassis as they do in Formula One, but for this season, the organizers have opened it up to allow for custom aero packages. What you're looking at here is the new look of the chassis to be fielded by teams running under Chevy power. Based on the Dallara DW12 chassis – introduced three years ago and named after the late Dan Wheldon Â– Chevy's new package is designed for road courses and short ovals, with the speedway configuration to be revealed later. The kit features new wings front and rear and more sculpted side pods. It's also got new wedges at the back to envelop the otherwise open wheels that are a hallmark of Indy racing, a more streamlined engine cover and bigger rear bumper pods. The new package will debut at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg that will kick off this year's championship in Florida on March 29, followed by the road-course grands prix in Louisiana, Long Beach, Alabama and Indianapolis before the new package needs to be ready for the Indy 500 late in May. Half of the teams on the starting grid this season will be running under Chevy power and are expected to use this new aero kit, with the remaining Honda teams slated to run a different package of their own. Chevrolet Debuts All-New 2015 IndyCar Aero Package Chevy-developed bodywork delivers improved aerodynamics 2015-02-17 INDIANAPOLIS Â– Chevrolet-powered racecars in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series will feature Chevrolet-developed aero packages. Chevrolet introduced the road course/short oval body design today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is distinguished from the previous racecar with new front wing elements, sculpted side pods and a new rear wing. A speedway configuration for the aero kit, designed for high-speed ovals, will be introduced ahead of its competitive debut at Indianapolis in May. "This is an important milestone in Chevrolet's involvement in IndyCar racing," said Jim Campbell, General Motors U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "We focused on developing an aerodynamic package that delivers an balanced combination of downforce and drag, along with integrated engine performance. It's a total performance package." The new Chevy road course aero configuration delivers greater aerodynamic performance than the previous design.
