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.

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.

Nissan Leaf sales double Chevy Volt to close out winning 2014
Mon, Jan 5 2015To close out the year, sales of the two most-popular plug-in vehicles in the US kept going in the direction that they had been all year. The Chevy Volt dropped and the Nissan Leaf had another record month. Sound familiar? The Volt sold 1,490 units in December, a year-to-year drop of 37.7 percent. For all of 2014, Volt sales were down 18.6 percent to just 18,805 (from 23,094 in 2013). On the Nissan side of the ledger, the Leaf sold 3,102 units, up 22.7 percent from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. For the year, Nissan sold 30,200 Leafs, up 33.6 percent from the 22,610 sold in 2013. A few other things to note: For every month in 2014, the Leaf sold more than it did for the same month in 2013. For the Volt, this was only true for three months (April, May and July). Funnily enough, the Volt sold exactly 1,478 units in both March 2013 and 2014. The Volt's 2014 total was lower than both 2013 and 2012, while the Leaf had its best year ever. There were three months in 2014 when people bought at least twice as many Leafs than bought a Volt (September, November, December). The Leaf outsold the Volt every month in 2014. The closest gap was 215 units, in February. The biggest was 1,612, in December. As you've most likely seen, GM is still busy teasing the new Volt, which will make its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. We'll have a more in-depth green car sales post up soon. <iframe embedded="true" "="" scrolling="no" src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oIuH75vaSHaaplD4x6gLsYjSsiN4oGmez1T63eaYdhY/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false" height="430"> Nissan celebrates 30,000 leaf sales in 2014, best year ever for sales of any plug-in vehicle NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 5, 2015) – Nissan, the world leader in electric vehicle sales, shattered yet another sales record with 30,200 LEAF vehicles sold in 2014, which is the first time any plug-in has sold more than 30,000 units in a single year. "Now in its fifth model year, Nissan LEAF is more popular than ever and continues to bring new buyers to Nissan," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. "From the beginning our vision was to bring electric vehicles to the mass market in a practical and fun-to-drive package, which is what makes Nissan LEAF the best-selling electric car in the world." Last month, Nissan sold 3,102 all-electric LEAFs, up 22.7 percent from the prior year and a December record.
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
