Description: 1967 Camaro Coupe Pro-Touring Project - $35,000
Body: This is a real RS/SS California car (no drivetrain), which has been off the road since 1979. The body work is done, the inner lips of the rear fenders have been rolled for tire clearance, the passenger side of the firewall has been smoothed, and the car is painted the original Tahoe Turquoise with a white bumble bee stripe and assembled with stainless steel hardware. (I have some pre-paint pictures as well.) It’s an extremely sound, rust free, original body with all original sheet metal and great gaps – there are no replacement panels anywhere on this car. This is a great starting point for anything from a mild resto-mod to an all-out pro-touring build without having to go through rust repair or paint jail.
The car has a factory subframe painted black mounted with DSE or GW (I forget which) solid aluminum bushings, third gen IROC steering box, new inner and outer tierods, new idler arm, SPC upper and lower control arms, AFCO spring adjusters with 500 lb./in. springs and AFX spindles.
It has a 12 bolt 3.55 positraction rear (out of my '68, newly rebuilt in 2012), with Flex-Form composite leaf springs with swivel bushings front and rear and C5 internal parking brake brakes with red powder coated calipers and C5 rotors installed.
The wheels are C5 wheels with bolt-on spacers
I’ll sell the body, less the C5 brake parts and the AFX spindles, for $20,000.
The purchase of the entire project includes the following parts, which are not installed:
LS Engine:
- A fully assembled (by J&M Racing Engines in Monrovia,CA) never run, LS1 short block consisting of an LS1 block, LS2 crankshaft and full floating pin powdered metal rods, Mahle forged pistons and a PatG spec’d cam (227/231 .614/.617" 113LSA +2 advance).
- Used but freshly rebuilt ported Trick Flow 215 heads cut to 59cc (putting the engine right at 11:1 compression ratio)
- New LS6 intake with a ported and polished throttle body
- NIB Cadillac race lifters
- NIB Yella Terra roller rockers.
Transmission:
- Used Aftermarket T56 six speed manual transmission with about 5,000 miles on it – 2.97:1 first gear; 0.62:1 sixth gear
- New “old” style ATS cross-member
Suspension & Brakes:
- New Hotchkis front & rear sway bars
- NIB Bilstein shocks front and rear
- NIB master cylinder and non-adjustable disk/disk proportioning valve
- New brakes lines (for a ’68 but I think they’ll work)
- Red powder coated freshly rebuilt front and rear C5 calipers
Electrical & Gauges:
- NIB Dakota Digital VHX Instruments - VHX-67C-CAM – carbon fiber look with blue backlighting
- New DSE interval wiper motor (installed)
- ECU
Exhaust:
- New Dougs D3337 headers
- New Ram Air Restoration exhaust kit with “X” crossover
Interior:
New Recaro Specialist seat (only one) in black leather
Factory Parts:
- Polished OEM trim (except for the “spear” that goes on the rocker)
- Front wing windows & good original chromed pieces
- Front and rear bumpers
- Some new weather stripping
- All glass except front windshield
- All inner door parts
- Rear window lifts
- Rear backup lights, front parking lights
- Radiator
- Rough RS headlight parts
- New (vintage 1979) repro upper and lower grill trim
- Bumpers
- Interior/exterior door handles
- Most of the original wiring harnesses
Fuel system:
- New Stainless steel tank adapted for a late model GM in-tank fuel pump
- New fuel lines (for a ’68 but they should work)
To complete the car the major items needed are:
- Engine: Pushrods, LS engine Harness, accessory drive, tune, full cooling system
- Transmission: Clutch, flywheel, clutch linkage, shorten driveshaft
- Fuel system: VaporWorx controller, in-tank fuel pump
- Trim: RS headlight setup and center of grill (I have a number of parts, but they’re rough)
- Interior: Full interior (I have a headliner, the rear seat is in great shape, I have front seat covers for stock seats matching the rear seat), dash carrier for VHX gauge set
I’m only hitting the highlights. When I moved from Southern California to Walla Walla some idiot (me) dropped a metal shelf bracket on the car. The paint is chipped, but easily repairable.
I’ll break it up if, and only if, the body is sold to someone who doesn’t want all the other items. Until the body is sold, I won’t part it out.
