1967 Chevrolet Camaro Ss (clone) on 2040-cars
Trinidad, Texas, United States
VIN: 12377N 192442
This beautiful Camaro started its life out as a 1967 Camaro. Somewhere along its journey someone took a lot of
time and effort to clone it into an SS, as the pictures demonstrate. When I purchased this car 2016, I truly had
no business buying the car as I do not know anything about cars but I had always wanted this car since I was
probably 14 years old (about 30years ago).
All work performed on the car during my ownership was done100% by a place in Houston called J&T Automotive (you can
look them up if needed). I will provide, if needed, all the invoices of repairs to substantiate what I write in
this listing also, if needed.
When I purchased this car the previous owner’s listing stated: "along the course of the vehicle’s life the gear
ratio was tweaked to give the car a quicker line start. It does have a posi-traction rear axle. It is a 3-speed
automatic that has a Muncie shifter. The last owner also installed a jack/plug for hooking the stereo to an iPod.
Two speakers were installed behind the back seat (and can be seen in the pictures). An A/C system was installed
along the way that is also fully functional as is the heater. Also installed was power steering, additional
instrument cluster that includes battery, oil pressure and engine temperature. He also installed new bucket seats,
floor carpeting and new door panels. Lastly, he said that the engine. A small block V8 that was originally a 350
bored out to a 402 replaced the original V6."
The exhaust system sounds strong – menacing. The vehicle has electric hideaway lights that are fully
operational. The car has powerdisc brakes, tubular control arms, leaf springs, an after-market radio that looks
old school retro AM until you turn it on and it becomes a digital AM/FM stereo.
A lot of work has been done on the engine/transmission, just short of ripping the drive-train out for a full
restoration:
Windows were tinted to darkest street legal in Texas
Fuel gauge replaced with a working original model
Parasitic Draw Test and Electrical Diagnosis. Electrical short(s) were repaired.
Installed new coolant temperature sensor and fan relay. Wiring loop and circuit performed
1967 Shock Plate Set, non-staggered, Pair LH and RH installed
Starter Motor replaced
HVAC system diagnosis/service/recharged with refrigerant with fluorescent dye. Leak found. Repaired.
Larger cooling system fans installed
Sealed beam headlights replaced
Door latches all replaced. Doors latches and locks operate perfectly
Light switch replaced
Circuit board for cluster replaced
Charging system alternator replaced
Battery tender installed top post battery
Steering wheel horn cap replaced, horn high note, horn low note both replaced
Power steering pump replaced
Engine oil pan gasket replaced
Motor oil filter replaced
Engine rear main seal replaced
Transmission removed, all external gaskets and seals replaced
Power steering line replaced
Speed sensor O-ring replaced
Tail shaft seal replaced
Oil pressure switch replaced
Fan control replaced
Dimmer switch wiring repaired and replaced
Fuel gauge sender replaced
Leaf spring bushing kit installed
Leaf spring pad kit installed
Suspension bump stop kit installed
Shock absorbers replaced and installed
Lift shackle kit installed
Dual radiator fan assembly installed
Brake lights replaced
Wiper blades removed and replaced
Fuel tank cleaned and lines flushed
Spark plugs replaced
Edelbrock carburetor, electric choke, and CHL PCV replaced
Edelbrock throttle linkage kit installed
Edelbrock throttle body flange installed
Carburetor throttle cable bracket installed
Carburetor return spring bracket installed
The car is in great shape. During the suspension redo, I had a small lift added to the rear and added larger tires
in the rear, which gives it an absolutely predator stance. Mechanical is in great shape; engine will start on the
first turn. The car drives amazingly well for a car that is approximately 54 years old. All the seat belts are in
place and work accordingly. Front seats fold down easily giving access to the rear seat. The only thing that I
can say is wrong with car at this point is the drivers side window does not close perfectly at the top rear against
the rear window.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
