(Rec'd several inquiries about

this Cam by bidders looking

at '66 Sting Ray in our other

auction so thot I'd list now

instead of grooming the car

a bit first after having recently

towed it in from AZ.) 

 

This was originally a 6 cyl car

which now has in it a .60

over 454 w/ 12.5:1 pistons.

 

When I bought the car in

1998, it was stripped out

as a drag car and the engine

had been freshly put together

w/ what seems(ed) to be

brand new parts.  

 

For instance, the carb was brand

new then but now,  after 15 years, it

has an aged 'patina' to it.

 

I bought a wrecked '68 Camaro

in an attempt to bring

the '67 to a streetable condition.

This is why it has '68 interior

door panels and '68 tail lights.

 

Engine ran and pulled like

a freight train but oil press

would drop out unexpectedly.

Pulled distributor/oil pump to

trace problem to oil pan gasket.

Pieces of the 'squeeze tube'

gasket had broken off like

little worms and clogged

oil pump screen pick-up.

 

Anyhow, installed one piece

oil pan gasket but have

not reinstalled distributor

for 14 years. Engine

turns freely and has less

than 2 miles on it (b/c

the car couldn't legally

be driven in PA w/o

inspection).  Car has been

garage kept in AZ last

9 yrs.  I sprayed WD-40 in thru

plug holes and would manually

rotate every so often to ensure

rings wouldn't seize.      

 

4 speed 'rock crusher' Muncie

shifts perfect and no noise.

 

3.00 open rear, no noise.

 

Brakes good.  Stock/basic

drums all 'round.  E brake

cable was removed but I

have most parts to (re)install.     

 

Body is straight and rust free,

never hit w/ the following

(minor) clarifications:

 

1.  Silver dollar sized area in

     rocker panels at base of

     hinge side of doors where

     the magnet pull was weak

     and you can see some body

     filler.

 

2.  3" long 'crease' on pass side

     (very slight deflection) above

     quarter window where roof

     begins to roll horizonal.

     I tried to photograph this

     but you can't really see it

     unless at an angle which the

     camera couldn't get.

 

3.  Lower lip of pass side A arm is

     pushed in slightly, as if the car

     had pulled up too far when parking.

     (To me, this is minor in the extreme

      but in the interest of full disclosure

      I'm mentioning it since I'm aware

      of it having spent time under the car.)   

 

Underbody and subframe is

also rust free. 

 

All glass is good except as follows:

 

1.  When the former owner was

     welding-in the roll bar, care

     was not taken to fully shield the

     quarter glass behind the pass

     seat so there is slight spatter

     in a  3" x  5" area of tiny 'bumps'

     which are hard to see but one's

     hand can feel the irregularities.

 

2.  Trailing edge of driver and pass

     door glass has a +/- 1" streak/

     scrape mark (from going up and

     down in track?).

 

3.  Lower left hand corner of

     windshield has scratches

     on the inside of the glass

     approx the area of a thumb.

 

 4.  Pass side window is very

      difficult to get up: the

      window mechanism

      operates stiffly.  Down

      cranking is okay.

 

To cover large gaps around

backlite and windshield, I cut and

fitted wood trim.  There were no

clips remaining to attach factory

trim.  It seemed like a good idea

at the time. 

 

Pass side missing side mirror,

driver side mirror is junk.

 

 

Interior door panels and

those in rear seat area are crap.

 

Headliner is aftermarket

and, IMHO, serviceable.

 

Dashpad is cracked/repaired,

i.e.  junk.  Carpets no good.

Glove box door works fine

but latch had been broken

then repaired.  Glove box liner

condition very poor.

 

I pulled front carpets up to

photograph floor boards.

They have a glaze of surface

dust/rust but are sound/solid/

not compromised.  Rear pans

solid also.

 

Chrome on rear tail lights is pitted.

Front headlights are broken

bulbs (but will include halgen

fixtures to replace them).

 

Missing driver side '396'

fender emblem.

 

Gauges worked 14

years ago.  Directionals didn't.

 

Wipers work but are not wired

to dash.  Wiper motor from

1984 Dodge Diplomat.

 

Left front tire is like new

Uniroyal P215/70R14,  RF

is same size and okay, rear skins

are grenades.

 

Paint job is spray cans, stripes

are stickers.  I believe orig color

was white w/black interior. 

 

Two hoods, one fiberglass,

one steel.  No hood hinges

or hardware.  Both hoods

have holes to accomodate

pins.  Will include low

profile air cleaner and element

to clear steel hood.

 

Fiberglass hood is not perfect,

has some minor surface cracks

and a 3 inch area on driver side

edge that needs some filler/sanding.

 

 

Tow bar included in sale.

Tow bar needs repair.

 

Four steel matching chrome 

wheels (pictured) are included

in auction.  These are in addition

to the slotted aluminum rims

on the car.  The ancient Firestone

slicks on the steel rims are no good.  

Tires on the matching smaller

steel rims not included and I

will demount them before

successful bidder takes

delivery.   

 

 

1968 rear bench seat and spare

driver seat included.  Upholstery

on these are no good whatsoever. 

Lower half of bench has been cut

to accomodate roll bar. 

 

Driver bucket seat in car is good

cond but it was the pass seat from 

'68 donor car so you have to reach

in for latch to fold forward.  Pass

bucket seat in the car has patches.

 

No battery, no horns, no horn

button, no radio, not sure whether

blower is still there.

 

No ignition switch, dash mounted

starter button instead.

 

Radiator has leak somewhere at

bottom.  I believe it is a minor

leak and can be repaired w/

a rad anti-leak additive but I

don't know this for certain.  It

didn't leak when I bought the car

but did after I fabricated/

installed the fan shrouding.   

 

Driveshaft is in tranny but not

bolted to rear.  It was unbolted

and wired to the side for the

towing to/from AZ.  Drag safety

breakaway loops for driveshaft

in place, front and rear.  Missing

some piece(s) of these loops: they

are not complete.     

 

 

 

One bolt on top of left rear

shock (in car body receiver

bracket) is broken in the receiver. 

Top of this shock held in place by

one bolt instead of two.

 

Roll bar was not installed

w/ spreader plates at bottom

of bar where pipe(s) touch floor.

I removed front (diagonal)

bars since they obscured

entry to front seats.    

 

MSD ignition, steel tubing

headers, glasspacks, traction

bars, frame stiffeners, elec fuel

pump at tank.

 

The only work I've done on

the lights is to get the rear

directionals to function while

being towed.  The dash light

sw (to operate headlights) was

replaced w/ starter button.

I have light sw from '84 Diplomat

to wire in.       

 

I have no idea how much of

the 'regular' wiring was abandoned/

gutted.

 

Heater is not piped up.

Pipe stubs are visible

at firewall.

 

Spare backlite, 2.68ish rear end,

steering wheel and column

from '68 donor car and fire

extinguisher included

as part of auction.  

 

 

Disclaimer: I have described

what I could about the Camaro

to the best of my ability. There

is nothing about the car that I can

guarantee or warranty and I

make no claims express or

implied.  

 

Car is for sale locally ($10K) and

I reserve right to end auction early.

Reserve set between 7000.00 and

8500.00

 

B & E Enterprises out of Kentucky hauled

'55 Pontiac for me from AZ to PA (2600 mi) for

$900.00 2 mos ago if you'll be freighting and

need a ballpark number.

 

No refunds, no trades.

 

Any ques, pls call (610-754-8845)

or email anytime.

 

 

My very best,
