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.

Chevy to offer new Cruze as a hatchback in the US
Mon, Jun 22 2015Chevrolet plans to offer a five-door hatchback version of the new Cruze in the United States, according to the latest intel from Automotive News. In addition to the sedan form we're familiar with, the outgoing Cruze was offered as a hatchback in some markets overseas, but not in America – a decision which Mark Reuss, GM's EVP in charge of product development, characterized as "a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake." The new Chevy Cruze is set to debut later this week. Although the American automaker has yet to confirm which bodystyles will be offered where, AN reports that a five-door model was already shown to dealers at their national meeting in Las Vegas last week. AN points out that the Ford Focus with which the new Cruze will be contending is offered as both a sedan and hatchback in America, with the latter accounting for some 40 percent of sales.
GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers
Fri, Oct 26 2018Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
