This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS coupe was delivered new to H. E. Baher Chevrolet of Manhattan Beach, California, and was drag raced locally by its original owner. The car was acquired by the seller from the second owner’s daughter in October 2020, at which time it was said to have remained parked since 1978. Subsequent recommissioning work included rebuilding the car’s 396ci L78 V8, Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, front disc brakes, and alternator along with re-coring the radiator and replacing the universal joints, ball joints, tie rods, fuel tank, and heater core. The car is finished in blue with white stripes over black vinyl upholstery, and additional equipment includes a 12-bolt rear axle, a PosiTraction differential, chrome Cragar S/S wheels, traction bars, a Holley carburetor, and an H-pipe dual exhaust system. This Camaro SS is offered with an owner’s manual, spare and removed parts, a Jerry MacNeish report and Certificate of Authenticity, an NCRS shipping data report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Marina Blue with a white nose stripe and features the optional Z22 Rally Sport package that added front valance parking lights, electric hideaway headlight doors, body side pinstriping, a black-painted taillight panel, and rear valance reverse lights as well as bright wheel well, drip gutter, and lower body side moldings. The spoiler from a later-model Camaro was fitted at the rear. The header panel and front valance were replaced during the 1970s and were repainted, while the spoiler was resprayed in 2021. The seller states that the right-side quarter panel has been touched up, and paint chips and scratches as well as checking on the roof and trunk lid are present.
Chrome 15″ Cragar S/S wheels are mounted with Pro-Trac Front Runner front and Street Pro 60 rear tires. Moog tie rods, ball joints, and bushings were installed during a refresh of the front suspension, and aftermarket traction bars and multi-leaf springs were fitted at the rear under previous ownership. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums that were rebuilt at Karps Power Brake Service in Chino, California.
The cabin features standard black vinyl upholstery with front bucket and rear bench seats and a matching headliner and carpeting, the latter of which is worn beneath the clutch pedal. Additional appointments include an optional center console with storage and a Hurst shifter as well as a push-button Delco AM radio, a heater/defroster, and lap belts.
The deluxe three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline. Combination fuel-level/coolant-temperature and oil-pressure/battery gauges are located on the center console along with an electric clock. The five-digit odometer shows 28k miles, approximately 90 of which were added by the seller.
The 396ci L78 V8 was factory rated at 375 horsepower, and it breathes through a Holley four-barrel carburetor with a chrome open-element air cleaner cover as well as long-tube headers flowing into a dual exhaust system equipped with an H-pipe and Dynomax mufflers. The engine was rebuilt at VanGordon Racing Engines in Montclair, California, the radiator was re-cored at Bob’s Radiator of San Bernardino, and the alternator was rebuilt by M&L Parts in Pomona. The engine compartment has been refinished in black, and the fuel tank and oil pan are replacements.
The Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission is linked to a repainted QJ-coded 12-bolt rear axle with a PosiTraction differential and a replacement 4.88:1 final gear ratio. The transmission was rebuilt at Anaheim Gear and Standard Transmission in California, and the MacNeish report notes that it is a replacement unit, as are the driveshaft universal joints.
A Certificate of Authenticity from Jerry MacNeish of Camaro Hi-Performance LLC will accompany the car along with a MacNeish report outlining build information, factory options, and component assessment.
An owner’s manual, factory production tags, a set of yellow-on-blue California license plates, and a National Corvette Restorers Society shipping data report are also part of the sale along with spare and removed parts that include a front sway bar, a traction bar, mono-leaf springs, a distributor, a Holley Carburetor, and four 14Ă—6″ Rally wheels with trim rings, hubcaps, and a set of 245/60 BFGoodrich T/A Radial tires.
