The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 1,826 miles, although true mileage on the chassis is TMU (Total Miles Unknown) due to the age of the Camaro.
The Camaro muscle car launched in 1967 on the semi-unibody General Motors F-body platform, available as a two-door hardtop and convertible. This Camaro from that initial model year is a true RS/SS model and was the recipient of a cost-no-object restoration completed in less than an estimated 1,800 miles since that time. Exterior features includes hideaway headlights, a lower front air dam, non-functional custom designed hood inlets/screens, special front grill, SS/RS badging and factory rear spoiler.
Billet Specialties 17” wheels are wrapped in Continental radial tires in size 235/45/17 front & 245/50/17 in the rear (date codes 34/20F; 40/20R).

Jet coated “tri-y” headers & exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers and chrome exhaust tips, polished fuel tank, aluminum rear end cover, stainless steel lines, and much more. The undercarriage is totally devoid of rust, damage free and reflects the cars lifetime in California.
The engine bay is spotless and finished to show level with considerable chrome, stainless steel and polished components. The extensive photographs support the reason why the car has had numerous overall show and first place recognition at competitive California car shows. Power is provided by a highly modified, fuel injected 355c.i. V8 that has been balanced and blueprinted with high quality internals and other components. Dart heads, Street & Performance fuel injection, Competition roller cam, 1.6 roller rockers, serpentine belt set-up, and Doug Thorley tri-y headers.
