I am selling my 1967 Chevy Camaro SS. The body and interrior are in the same condition as the day I bought the car in 1999. The previous owner did have some restoration work done but exactly what was done I don't know. I can tell that the rear quarter pannels were replaced at some point and the car was repainted.
There are some chips in the paint on the front nose and the passenger door so it could use a new paint job. Also, there is a spot near the antenna where the paint has lifted (probably a little rust below) but the area has never spread since I have owned the car. I have noticed some superficial rust below the trunk floormat but all of the sheet metal is solid. The body and subframe is in good shape considering the age of the car but one or two body mounts may need a little tending to. The fiberglass hood also has a crack in it and the hide-away headlight doors don't work. The interrior is in great shape except the instrument panel has a couple of cracks in it where it screws to the dash board. Note that there are NO aftermarket gauges or tachometers butchered to the dash or held onto the steering column with some plumbing hose clamp. Some of the stitching in the front passenger seat has failed but it could most likely be fixed easily. Also, the speedometer cable broke about a year ago. This car passed inspection when registered in Connecticut with no issue and its condition has not changed or deteriorated since then. I have never driven it in bad weather or in the winter. These are all of the problems with the car that I have noticed. The car otherwise presents itself very well in my opinion. It is a very straight car without dents.
The engine and transmission have been changed and are therefore not original components.
Engine:
350 smallblock with about 11:1 compression ratio, (runs good on 93 octane gas but loves 94 or higher)
Ported and polished heads with triple angle valve job, fairly radical hydraulic lifter cam with 3,500 to about 6,000 rpm powerband (engine idles rough but drives great as a street car)
Intake manifold is a victor jr single plenum, Carburetor is an 830cfm double pumper holley w/anular discharge venturies. Electronic MSD distributor.
Exhaust:
Nothing really special here, your typical dual exhaust system with headers. It does however have a set of gate valves that can be opened under the car to bypass the mufflers but the valves do need new handles.
Transmission:
turbo 350 rebuilt with a shift kit installed. Transmission leaks a small amount of fluid if the car sits (a few drips will appear on the ground from time to time but the leak is so minimal that I never found it to be a priority to fix) A rather expensive Gear Vendor underdrive/overdrive unit is coupled to the transmission tailshaft effectively giving you 6 gears to shift through if desired.
Rearend:
I installed an auburn gear limited slip differential with 3:73 gears in the original rearend housing. When you engage the overdrive unit on the transmission, the car acts as if it has 2:73 gears which is great for the highway.
Brakes:
Aftermarket power front disc brakes with an adjustable proportioning valve for the factory rear drum brakes.
Other:
A 94 amp alternator w/electronic regulator, 3 core radiator, AM FM casette radio
Warantee info:
This automobile is being sold AS IS with no warantee of any kind.
Payment:
If you are the winning bidder I expect you to pay for the vehicle within 7 days of the auction ending or it will be relisted. Payment must be in the form of a certified check. I must receive the check before I will allow you to take possession of the vehicle.
Shipping:
You are responsible to arrange for pick up and shipping of vehicle. The car is at a residential address and is not currently registered. That means your shipper needs to have the ability to pick up the vehicle at a residential address.
On Aug-17-13 at 08:37:06 PDT, seller added the following information:
One thing I forgot to mention, The Camaro won't be available for pickup by the winning bidder until August 29. This is due to a scheduling error on my part. I apologize to the auction winner in advance.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
