I was at the Ocean City, Maryland Car Cruise in early May as a spectator and while there looking at all the nice cars, also started looking through Craigslist for a new toy, lol. Found a few cars I liked, but this 67 Camaro really caught my eye. It was located in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania, about 90 miles from my home in Baltimore. We drove up to look at it, pretty much fell in love with it at first site, made the deal and drove it home with 12 year old 195/75R14's on it, lol.
First week I owned it, I swapped the Powerglide out for a built Turbo 350 and 3200 stall converter. Then put on the rear spoiler, then finally a cowl induction hood. In the meantime, the wheels were swapped about 5 times. From Weld Draglites, to Rally wheels, to Weld ProStars, to Rally Wheels, lol.
Car was originally a 6 cylinder, powerglide car and previous owner (who had it for 12 years as a father & son project), did the 327 swap. Car has longtube headers, a Flowmaster 2 into 2 stainless exhaust with crossflow muffler, interior totally redone, suspension totally rebuilt, including multi-leaf conversion, manual disc brake conversion, and cut 1 coil out of the front springs so it looked better. I also added front and rear Addco swaybars, 1-1/4" front, 1" rear....Thanks, Bob
