Description
Lot #717 - This 1967 Camaro RS/SS evolved from a father-and-son build into a no-expense-spared Resto-Mod restoration with a classic first-generation body style paired with a modern drivetrain and interior components from a 2002 Camaro. The build started with a clean, mostly rust-free '67 Camaro from Colorado. A new cowl hood, custom rear spoiler and mini tub rear were added, the drip rails were removed and all the seams were filled. Hundreds of hours blocking and buffing gave it a laser-straight body finished in deep blue paint with classic '69 hockey stick stripes done in matte silver to match the wheels. The hideaway headlights were updated with retro electronic controls, and a custom front valance and bumper with '69-style driving lights were added. The interior is all leather and features a customized dash, as well as all-modern air conditioning and gauges from a 2002 Camaro. This custom is powered by a 5.7-liter 8-cylinder LS engine backed by a 6-speed manual transmission and utilizes 4-wheel disc brakes for stopping power. The completely custom exhaust is ceramic-coated with CNC-milled custom tips exiting out the rear. The suspension has been upgraded with a Chris Alston 4-link rear with coilovers, front tubular control arms and a Viking coilover setup. Rounding out the look of this Resto-Mod is a set of custom-made 18-inch front and 19-inch rear Boze wheels.
