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.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
