FS 1967 Camaro Pro Touring G Machine
 
3 Attachment(s)
Absolutely no expense has been spared in building this high quality Pro Touring car that features excellent acceleration, handling, stopping, refined road manners, and great looks to match. The end product is an outstanding street car that is also very capable on the track.
The car was originally equipped with a 6 cylinder and a Powerglide, so no rare muscle cars were harmed in this build.

The list below highlights the parts that have gone into the build.

Engine
Wegner Motorsports L92 (6.2L) balanced and blueprinted Wegner CNC cylinder heads 10.87:1 compression,
Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam (.585/.595 lift, 291/301 duration)
LS7 lifters, Comp Cams 3/8” Magnum pushrods
Precision Metalcraft fabricated aluminum intake, FAST 92mm TB, 42 lb injectors
Pantera EFI ECU882C ECM
Champ pans baffled 5 ½ quart road race oil pan
Stewart water pump
ATI Super Damper
Griffin aluminum radiator
Wegner billet CNC valve covers
Hooker Headers Ceramic coated
Custom fabricated Stainless 3” exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers
Wegner billet accessory drive system
599HP at 6800 rpm 505 lb/ft torque at 5600 rpm at flywheel
Ricks Stainless narrowed gas tank with Walbro 255 gph fuel pump
Optima Red Top battery mounted in trunk
Engine compartment wiring painstakingly routed to be as hidden as possible

Transmission
Tremec T56 6 speed built by Liberty’s Gears
Spec Stage 3 clutch and pressure plate
ATS transmission cross member
Pro 5.0 shifter, Twist Machine billet lever
Custom Strange Chrome-moly driveshaft
Aluminum 2 piece driveshaft loop
Ford 9 inch rear end with Strange center section and 4:10 gears

Front Suspension
DSE tubular A-arms upper and lower
DSE coil over conversion
Koni coil over shocks with Afco 550 lb springs
DSE 1 1/8” hollow anti roll bar
Baer 6S six piston brakes with 14” 2 piece rotors

Rear Suspension
DSE Minitubs
Ridetech 4 link rear suspension
QA1 coil over shocks with 275 lb springs
Fully welded sub frame connectors
PBR (Baer) with 13” 2 piece rotors

Wheels / Tires
Kinesis K18R three piece forged wheels (18x8 front, 18x11 rear)
Falken Azenis tires (245/40ZR18 front, 315/30ZR18 rear)
ARP long wheel studs

Interior
Recaro Pole Position seats
G Force 5 point cam lock harnesses
Autometer Sport Comp gauges
Vintage Air Gen II Compac A/C and heat
6 point roll cage
DSE select a speed wiper motor

Exterior
BASF Diamont Base/Clear -Victory Red
Glasstek Carbon Fiber 2” cowl induction hood
Ring Brothers Billet “airframe” hood hinges
Marquez billet taillights with American Autowire LEDs.
Twist Machine Aluminum rear spoiler
Stock Camaro spoiler also goes with car and is painted to match
Stainless fastener kit from Prodigy Customs used on assembly

Front bumper bracket slots in fenders were eliminated. Firewall smoothed. Emblems, drip rail trim, wheel opening moldings, rocker trim and antenna hole were all eliminated and holes welded up. Trunk floor and fuel tank were modified to move the filler behind the rear license plate (like a 69 Camaro).

Car was media blasted to bare metal in 2008 and was found to be extremely solid. Full quarter panels had been installed by prior owner and by all appearances were professionally installed. The front fenders each received small (4”x4”) patch panels in the rear corners. There was no other rust found on the car.

It was painted in winter 2008-2009 in BASF Victory Red base/clear with a satin black bumblebee stripe on the nose. Wing window frames were re chromed as well as the rear bumper. All rubber seals are new. Glass is in great shape as is all stainless window trim.

The car works great whether you are carving up the twisty bits or cruising down the interstate. The double overdrive T56 transmission helps it deliver 20+ mpg on the highway. So much has gone into this project that it would be impossible to list it all. Please email with any specific questions you may have.

Camaro Performers Magazine feature car October 2010 (please note: rear suspension, rear end and exhaust have been upgraded since the article was written)
http://www.camaroperformers.com/feat...o/viewall.html

I will consider any of the following plus cash as trades. C5 or C6 Z06, LS powered 4th gen F Body, 5th gen Camaro SS, 04-06 GTO, CTS-V, BMW M3, Porsche 911, 20-28 foot enclosed trailer, Duramax powered truck, late model Mustang Boss 302 or GT500, or anything else that is interesting. No boats, ATVs or sport bikes. I would consider an even trade for the right C6 ZR-1.

$69,000

Thanks guys! The good news is I don't have to sell it, but I am feeling like it is time for something new. The next build will be a little more economical. No $2k intakes and the like. I just can't justify having this much money in a car.

Gatekeeper 02-05-2012 09:47 PM

Jeff, that is one wicked ride, just sent the link to a friend.

You should still be laughing. :rofl: It happens to me all the time. People seem to think because you are selling something that you must be desperate or either on hard times and in a bind or hurry to sale.

lesone 02-08-2012 12:47 PM

Nice looking car :thumbsup:

Awesome Camaro! Good luck with the sale... :thumbsup:

Van B 02-10-2012 09:29 PM

Just when I thought I had heard it all. Today I woke up to an email notifying me of an ebay message from someone who wants to know if I am interested in donating the car to Arizona State University.

Yeah, that is what I am going to do. I linked it to the auction if you would like to read the message in it's entirety.

Another good laugh. :rofl:

A long time ago there was a Camaro ,in primer that went off track at Blackhawk . Same car by chance?
Saw the listing at the Midwestern Council site .
Good luck with the sale :cheers:

Nope. The primer car from a couple years ago is Matt Altamore (screen name Bowtie67 I think). His car is a 69. He has autocrossed in Midwest Council.

LOL---that is amazing----I had a couple of those at the Del Mar show this past November---and I would have thought they would have known better.

If I had WELD money, this would be a no brainer--always loved this car--I can appreciate the intent though---I too find it harder to justify that kind of cash for a single part----comes from owning and racing a Camaro for many years---Blessings on the sale!

Yeah that would be my car.

Jeff's car is perfect, I had the pleasure to ride along at Road America, insane!!!!

GLWS, whoever gets it will be very happy.

Van B 02-17-2012 06:46 PM

Got my consignment package for Mecum Indianapolis yesterday. The car will be running on May 18 around 6:30 most likely right smack dab in the middle of a commercial break.

The car is not for sale until that time.

Vince@Meanstreets 02-18-2012 12:02 AM

good luck jeff, start prepping and pouring on the internet coverage.

SnakeEater 02-18-2012 04:48 PM

First good luck with the sale. I wish that I could buy it but your car was the inspiration for my build. I have constantly looked at the magazine article to stay on track. Again good luck, the new owner is a lucky guy or gal.

Sounds like a good idea. Good luck !

I wish they would televise it on a diffent channel, I already have enough I don't watch. :(

HAULNSS 02-20-2012 07:14 AM

Is it available for 'test drives'? :unibrow: Does the E-brake work? :_paranoid


:rofl:

Good luck with the sale! :cheers:

How about $35,500.00 :_paranoid
give or take $5K

Van B 05-19-2012 06:57 PM

Back for sale after going no sale at auction. NEW PRICE and still very open to trades.

$75,000 or reasonable offer.

Matt@BOS 05-19-2012 07:37 PM

Good luck with the sale. I'm surprised it didn't meet the reserve. It is a nice car for sure. Perhaps it just wasn't the right auction for the car. Seems like pro touring cars do better at certain venues, and not as well at others. Who knows?

They didn't take the time to find a real bid. They cracked it at 50k and ran to 71k without a bid. Then they spent a bunch of time trying to snag someone at 71. Discouraging as I told Frank 3 minutes earlier to make sue and find real money.

Ah..... the 'auction process'... I've written about it on Lat G before. People don't want to seem to believe me on "how it all works". Great place to sell - not so hot to buy unless it's something really special that isn't available anywhere else.


Nice car BTW!


Doug -- Financing is available.... :rofl: :woot:

Auto auctions are how I have made my living for 22 years and the Mecums know me and what I do. All the more reason I thought they would at least give it an honest try.

Johnny Wayne 05-20-2012 10:50 PM

Great looking car.
 
Could I please get your phone number? I would like to chat with you about your car. Thanks :)

Wayne
