Selling my 1967 Camaro RS that originally came with a 327 and a 2 speed powerglide, power drum brakes, power steering and deluxe interior. Now it has a 1968 427 big block with a Holley and an Edelbrock aluminum intake and an MSD 6A ignition box, aluminum rad, TH400 and a 12 bolt posi rear end with what appears to be a 3.73 gear. The motor fires right up with quick twist of the key and without any smoke or drama. The idle on the other hand doesn't sound as it should in my opinion, with a muffled metallic sound. Does not knock. I bought this car a few months ago when it the exhaust was rotten, laying on the driveway, so you couldn't hear anything over the open headers. The deluxe interior is in excellent shape including the headliner, with the exception of the driver's seat but I've got brand new seat covers for the front seats. I also put in a console from a '67 Camaro that has the knee knocker clock. I haven't bolted it down because it has an aftermarket Quicksilver shifter that I haven't replaced with a factory one. All lights and signals are working except the motors for the headlight doors are missing and the reverse lights don't work. The horn is missing. Much of the brake and fuel lines are original as well, with sections of bad lines replaced. Quarter panels look original with the drains in the trunk extensions still there. Doors are just starting to blister inside the bottoms. Just installed a new master cylinder, new brake shoes in all four corners, brand new exhaust (including Flowmaster mufflers) from the headers back. Frame is excellent and is tied together with frame connectors. Front end(ball joints, tie rods, etc...) has been checked and is safe. Now the bad: someone back in the day installed the antenna into the side if the quarter panel, the edge of the trunk lid is starting to rust, there was some light cosmetic damage that was repaired by skimming a handful of Bondo in the front where the fender meets the upper and lower valances and it's blistered up and starting to crack (see pic). Small bubbles on the drivers side roof (see pic). It could use a trunk pan. What I like about the car after seeing dozens of Camaros before settling on this one is the fact that all the seams around the tail panel, the trunk filler panel at the base of the rear window and valances (with exception with the right side of the lower front valance) are still there and not filled in. It was last painted 15 years ago but the paint still shines. The car is an excellent candidate for a restoration but more importantly it's a first gen Camaro that you could cruise in for the next few years until you build up your budget to do it right. The paint looks great from 20 feet, but the underneath of this car is exceptional, and it appears to still retain all of its original panels, except for the trunk. The rear frame rails are amazing. I have described it honestly (probably too honestly) but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call Steve at (416) 702-6858. Due to me advertising the car locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early.
