1967 chevrolet camaro rally sport convertible

Genuine Factory RS • Factory Power Roof • 400ci SBC • Holley Sniper EFI • 700R4 Overdrive $89,990 This is not a Camaro that has been restored to sit under a cover, and it isn't a heavily modified restomod where the original character has disappeared. It sits right in the sweet spot between the two. To the casual observer it still looks and feels like the beautiful classic 1967 Camaro it is, but underneath are carefully selected upgrades designed to make it safer, more reliable and substantially better to drive in the real world. Two Camaros in One One of the things I particularly like about this car is its Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. When you want the traditional classic appearance, fit the standard-style SS bonnet and 14-inch Rally wheels. The result is a very traditional-looking first-generation Camaro convertible.

When you want something tougher for a cruise or car event, swap to the 4-inch cowl-induction bonnet and 18-inch American-style Rally wheels and the entire personality of the car changes. Both combinations are included. It is effectively two different-looking Camaros in the one garage. Genuine Factory Rally Sport Importantly, this isn't simply a Camaro with Rally Sport trim added. The Fisher Body cowl tag confirms the factory Rally Sport specification, factory power convertible roof and other desirable equipment.

The attraction of the 400 is that it gives you big-block-sized cubic capacity and the strong effortless torque associated with a large-capacity V8, but without adding the considerable weight of a traditional Chevrolet big-block over the front of the car. You get a big-cube engine while retaining the lighter, more compact small-block package. Holley Sniper EFI The engine has been converted from carburettor to Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection. This is one of those upgrades that doesn't take anything away from the classic experience but makes owning the car considerably easier. Cold morning or hot engine: Turn the key and it starts.

No pumping the accelerator, no difficult cold start and no fighting a heat-soaked carburettor after stopping for fuel. You still have the sound and character of a big-cube small-block Chevrolet — just with modern fuel control. Reconditioned 700R4 Overdrive Automatic Behind the 400 is a reconditioned 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive. This dramatically improves freeway use. Instead of sitting at relatively high RPM like many traditional three-speed automatic classics, the engine drops into overdrive and settles down into a comfortable cruising zone. It makes the car quieter, more relaxed and more economical on longer drives. The combination of the torquey 400 and the 700R4 works exceptionally well — strong effortless performance when you want it and comfortable low-RPM cruising when you don't. A Dana limited-slip differential completes the driveline. Suspension and Handling Both the front and rear ends have been extensively rebuilt.

The Camaro also runs adjustable coil suspension. The idea wasn't to turn it into a modern sports car. It was to make it feel like a really good 1967 Camaro. It remains a classic American V8 but feels substantially more controlled, predictable and confidence-inspiring than a worn original example. Modern Information Without Ruining the Dash The car features Dakota Digital instrumentation, giving accurate information including digital road speed and monitoring of important vehicle functions. A complete modern stereo has also been discreetly installed while the original radio remains in the dash. Again, modern functionality without unnecessarily changing the classic interior. Safety Upgrades A complete set of five new Australian Design Rules-compliant seatbelts has been fitted. The front includes modern inertia-reel lap/sash belts, substantially improving everyday occupant safety over the original 1967 arrangement while remaining discreet inside the car. A new fuel tank has also been fitted. Factory Electric Roof The Camaro retains its factory power-operated convertible roof, with the C06 option confirmed by the cowl tag. More Than $65,000 in Receipts and Recent Expenditure

The previous owner supplied more than $50,000 worth of receipts for work carried out on the car. During the last year I have spent approximately another $15,000 attending to anything I wasn't satisfied with and sorting the little issues that inevitably appear with an older restored and modified classic. I am a restoration mechanic by trade and have previously undertaken full Camaro restoration work, so I tend to be considerably fussier than most owners about getting things right. The next owner gets the benefit of that work rather than spending their first twelve months sorting someone else's unfinished project. Condition I would personally rate the body and paint approximately 9/10. It presents extremely well. The underside has deliberately not been restored into a mirror-finished showpiece. This car is a driver, not a trailer queen. You don't have to worry about putting kilometres on it or getting caught in the occasional shower. Get in it, start it and use it. That is what it was built for. Pace Car-Style Decals Some photographs show the car wearing 1967 Indianapolis Pace Car-style door decals.

These have now been removed and the car currently presents in clean Ermine White. If you prefer the Pace Car-style appearance, reproduction decals are readily available and can easily be reapplied.

And when you want a change of personality, simply change the bonnet and wheels. Classic one day. Tough restomod-style cruiser the next. Located Melbourne, Victoria.
