Up for sale is my 1967 BBC RS Camaro. Just like most of the sellers on here - this camaro has been a labor of love for me. This is an original RS car with air conditioning. I have included in the pics the cowl tag. This Camaro runs and drives excellent. I am only looking to sell as a pure financial dedcision. This car gets very little road time. I have only driven it not even 300 miles in the last 2 years. This past fall I pulled the sbc 350 out of the car to replace it with a period correct 396 BBC.
Engine - 1967 396 BBC (engine code pic) - bored .30 over, 1.7 roller rockers, oval port heads, 1 3/4 long tube headers, flowmaster series super 10 mufflers, full 3 inch tubing, total MSD ignition with rev limiter, coil, race distributor, wires. Cam - I am unsure of the duration. I have installed an electric vacum pump for the brake booster as the enging does not produce enough vacum - due to the size of the cam. 4 core aluminum radiator with a 3300 cfm puller electric fan and a 1200cfm pusher electric fan (on the front side of the radiator). Alternator - 200 amp hugger orange with correct wiring and fuse. battery - Red top Optima. I do not have a dyno sheet on this set up.
Tranny - 4-speed Muncie, clutch is brand new - was installed during the engine swap last fall.
Suspension - Hotchkis 3 inch drop leaf springs and front coils. All front suspension components are within 1 1/2 years new - again not even 300 miles in the last 2 years.
Wheels - American racing Polished Torq Thrust II's - front - 16 X 7, rear 17X7 -Tires - Front - 205 45 ZR16 - Rear - 275 40 ZR17. These tires have over 90% of the tread remaining.
Rear End - 10 bolt - non posi
Brakes - Disc brakes up front and drums in the rear.
Exterior - White with a black nose stripe. The paint is in very condition as you can see in the pics. This is a car that you can get in and take straight to your local car shows. It's not a trailer queen and was not intended for that. There is one are that will need minor repair. The rear passenger quarter panel has an impact area from when the mono leaf spring center pin broke after the 396 install. At which point I purchased and installed the Hotchkis suspension to eliminate wheel hop. I have had the minor impact area looked at and the repair will be less than $500. I have brand new 396 fender emblems that will need to be installed. i will also include the original 327 emblems if you would like them. Brand new LED rear tail lights as seen in the pics, new front turn signal lenses with one new housing.
Interior - The interior is in excellent condition. All black interior - bucket seats (standard interior - not deluxe)Seats, console, carpet, headliner, dash are all in excellent condition. Absolutely no cracks at all in the dash, seats, panels, ect...
Items that need to be completed : Headlight doors - they need to be opened manually. The motors are new but the wiring harness needs to be replaced. I was going to convert to electric. However I will include with the purchase a brand new wiring harness for you. Windshield Wiper Motor - I had to remove the working motor as the valve covers would not clear. You will need to purchase a mini wiper motor. they have them all over ebay. I did not immediately replace as this car does not leave the garage in the rain. Other items that have already been spoken about in this listing include the minor repair on the passenger side rear Qtr and the installation of the 396 emblems.
Gauges - all gauges work with thye exception of the gas gauge. There is a 3 pack of gauges mounted right where the factor 3 pack would have been placed. in addition there is a tach mounted on the steering column.
I have the right to close this auction at any item as the vehicle is also for sale locally. Please no tire kickers and low ballers. I am not desperate to sell and am looking for a buyer who will take care of this very powerful, grat driving, beautiful icon of a Camaro. I have tried my best to include as much info as possible. the original owners manual is still in the gloce compartment and in great shape.
If you have questions you can either call or text me at 352-638-5210. Thanks for looking.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
