Hellooo! The names' chris/cody/whatever-Im new to the forum, i own a 67 327, pretty standard.. but i want to convert it to deluxe interior.

My question is do i need a new rear seat (the portion that you sit on(bench?)) ? Because the deluxe has arm rests on either side of the back seat that make the (bench) portion narrower.. molded, in a word, to fit around the arm rests..

Its hard to explain but if you catch my drift, let me in on the secret.. Thanks!

 

no the arm rests are for a fold down rear seat(i think) for 67 i know thats the case in 1968. u can buy a cover for your seat that you have.

 

I have a fold down rear seat and I have arm rest with the ash tray on the arm rest, my buddy's seat does not fold down and he does not have arm rest and his ash tray is on side panel. Both cars are 68 SS/RS with deluxe interior

 

i have the original deluxe interior in my 68 and i dont have armrests. i do have them sitting though because i have a fold down for the car

 

thanks for the help! Camaroboy i like the color of your ss, i was thinking cream yellow for mine, as it was the orig color...it doesnt look bad either. here is my car 2 yrs ago, just before storage lol.

 

what 327 was in your camaro. the 2bbl or 4bbl? what tranny is in it? and just an odd question does it have the bench bench seat in front?

 

i tried again but i give up on posting the picture..

Honestly dont remember, i put it in storage a while ago and havent even thought about it.

It was more than likely a 2bbl, tossed the tranny (3sp? powerglide), and bucket seats. All numbers matched till i chucked the tranny. Rebuilt the block, 4bbl, hydraulic rollers, l0.5 comp.-- i didnt want to run that with a 3 spd so i got a Richmond 5sp manny

 

i know, sacrilegious, i love it!

On an interesting note too, when i sandblasted it, found out that it was a vinyl top - the roof had some smoothed over rivet holes

 

no i was wondering because i was told about a 67 camaro with a 327 and it was butternut yellow that was around town here. also there shouldnt be any rivits in the top. the vinyl was glued to a primered top from the factory. also all the seems were welded together. to tell if your car is a factory vinyl top look at your trim tag and find the paint code. it should look like say for a red car R-R that is a red body and top R-2 is red body a black vinyl top

 

im not sure then. from what i remember, these "rivets" were evenly spaced, and ran horizontally on the body, from the side window to the rear window..about where the bottom of the vinyl ran. Googled it, and this is what i thought my car looked like off the showroom floor
