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.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
