67 Sledgehammer Camaro

[mazspeed]

I can't believe Im doing this. $69500


Drivetrain features the following; a Chevrolet ZZ430 small block that has been rebuilt to support the ProCharger’s 10+ of boost. The changes to the engine include blue printing by Campbell Auto Restoration, machining by Top of the Hill, Scat I-beam rods and SRP 9.0:1 blower pistons with Speed-Pro ring. The engine retains the forged crank, GM LT4 “Hot Cam” and Fast Burn heads. In addition the engine is topped with an Edelbrock Air-Gap intake with a Carb Shop modified Holley HP750. Also added to the power plant is a blow-though ProCharger supercharger system with a J&S booster retard system and a MSD 6AL2 Digital ignition system and water/alcohol injection.

The 600 horsepower is passed though The Transmission is a Tremic TKO 600 with a McLeod dual disk hydraulic clutch system and an aluminum flywheel. It has a Denny's nitrous ready custom driveshaft with 1350 U joints front and rear. The Moser 12 bolt rear has a 3:73 rear ratio with a true track limited slip diff and 33 spline c-clip less axels. Custom dual 3 inch stainless exhaust a system with x pipe design. Exhaust system is a mix of Hedman header and a stainless steel Magnaflow 3” system with x-pipe.

Chassis and suspension makes this car come alive. It consists of a highly modified and customized Fatman subframe custom built by Campbell Auto Restoration with custom tunable Koni coil-over shocks with Eibach springs with a speedway splined bar. The frame has also been strengthened and reconfigured for high performance use. From there the front and rear sub-frames are tied together with Detroit Speed sub-frame connectors and a DSE transmission cross-member. The rear suspension is made up of Hotchkis leaf springs with a Global West rear shackle/bushing set and QA-1 adjustable shocks with many other custom fabrication pieces to make the car handle like a new car.

Connecting the car with the pavement is handled by the Boze ZE Forge Boost 18X8 and 18X9 inch wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo 245/40ZR18 and 275/40ZR18 tires. Forward movement is halted by Baer 13” front and 12” rear disc brakes with a hydroboost system.

The body of the car was striped to bare metal by Gearhead Garage and the body was restored to better than new. Then Gearhead painted the car Subaru World Rally Blue and Nissan Silverstone for the rally stripes. Gearhead then turned their attention to the interior. Shawn Katt of Gearhead covered the new Corbeau buckets and stock rear seat in Italian black leather, as is the custom console, door, quarter and package tray panels and everything else inside the car. They added Auto Meter gauges, an Ididit steering column with a MOMO steering wheel and a McLeod shifter. Gearhead Garage also installed the Alpine stereo system, HVAC system and Painless wiring harness. The Porsche carpeting was tailored and installed by Campbell Auto Restoration. It has a custom RS front end and has many billet aluminum items from the custom trunk hinges to the Ring Bros hood hinges. LED lights round out the custom tail section. We replaced the stock 67 fuel location to the license plate area like the 69's. It has a custom Rick's stainless gas tank that has a check ball and fuel door system and was built for road racing so not to lose fuel during hard corning. a 2K extra option.

Additional accolades for the car include a cover and 6 page write-up in Chevy High Performance, "Bad to the Bone" award at the 2007 Bowtie Bash, DeAnza College and "Street Sweeper" at the Goodguys November 2009 show. Has a 4th Place finish out of 70 in the Goodguys autocross in May of 09

Had been for sale at 150k, but business has forced to sell this at a huge loss. I have 240k into the car, I have a appraisal for 230k from Bud Millards and Associates.

badass brotha! Very nice car. We are in the selling ours on ebay right now as well. :thumbsup:

[chrismoe]

For anyone who is interested, I have had the opportunity to see (up close and underneath) Mike's (Mazspeed) Camaro. It is an amazing car. The interior is bitchen, the paint is like glass and the motor rips. Simply a turn-key, complete car.

Hate to see it go but hope it goes to a good home Mike.

Chris

[Spiffav8]

Noooooooo! :(

Mike say it isn't so! I hate to see you sell the car. I really like your car. All the pictures just don't do it justice...it's SO much better in person! Anyway you can keep it?

[mazspeed]

Thanks guys for the kind words. Hey Curtis, I can't really keep it unless I was able to get a loan on the car. Work has been painfully slow and it's either the house or the car. When things get better (the economy) Ill be able to get something else. Might not be as nice as this car, but will see. As of today, I don't have a choice though.

[awr68]

Mike I hate to see ya sell it...but believe me when I say I totally understand.....

Buddy...that sucks. But your taking care of family first and I understand that. Just hate to see it go after all the work you've put into it. It's one of favorite cars, everything is just done right. Still....I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Love that car, sorry to see it go.

Someone is going to get a damn nice car. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Bowtieracing]

...but believe me when I say I totally understand.....

For 220k invested on it, better be. Looks really beautifull.

[6D9]

Man that sucks....I always wanted to check your car out in person...:(

Good luck and killer car!

[jimhamptons]

Good luck with the sale Mike!

[mdprovee]

Sorry to hear about the sale Mike, Good luck with it.

[mazspeed]

Hey guys. I posted new pictures on e-bay and more on the sledgehammer site.

[mazspeed]

Hey guys. Just bumping here for the final 24 hours. I can't believe the crummy price this is getting so far.

[Beegs]

I can't believe the crummy price this is getting so far.

With oil over $130.... I'm not surprised. :(

[Mizfit]

Someone couldn't even get close to building that car for that price. Give it sometime and let the right buyer find it. :thumbsup:

[Spiffav8]

If that's the final bid I'm going to be sick! No way your selling it for that!! But...if you do, PM me and I'll buy it. :lol:

[DRJDVM's '69]

Wow...... I hate to see you sell it. I know there was alot of work put into this car and alot of effort/time/frustration woking out the bugs etc.

Hope you get the price you need...with the economy alot of guys are needing to sell but the market of buyers is tight too....

You've still got alot of time for bids. They wont really start to show up until 1-2 days before. Good luck.

[Flash68]

Did this Camaro sell? on ebay or off?

[JamesJ]

I am pretty sure that it did not sell on ebay. I do not remember ever hearing anything more on it selling so I would say no, but I am sure mazspeed will say yes or no...

[mazspeed]

Nope. I didn't put it on ebay to sell. I put it up, to let people know it was for sale. Hence the poor ad. I pretty much knew that it would not get close to selling on ebay.

[Flash68]

Interesting.... never heard of that strategy before.

Do you have an asking price you are looking for? Or a minimum price you'll accept?

[awr68]

Mike has business picked up? It has a little for us! Are you still needing to sell?

[Spiffav8]

Yeah Mike...what gives?

I'm in OAK till the 19th. Any events we need to attend?

[mazspeed]

Hey guys, business is still a little slow right now. I have been getting my bills in order and consolidating my bills and my mortgage was lowered, so I have a little breathing room, but not much. I got some offer from some tire kicking plastic surgeon jerkoff who when we test drove the car, really liked it, and didn't seem to balk at the 125k asking price, then went on to offer me 60k 2 days later. I figure he was not a serious buyer. Are you in town now Curtis? I don't know of any car shows as of now between here and then. Funny little tid bit. I have a pic of my engine on page 70 of the new super chevy. The only pic my car will likely see in a mag.

[Spiffav8]

Mike...I'm sitting here sitting a lot of reserve. Only two trips a week, so a lot of down time. Give me a call if you head over this way.

I think I know who your talking about. If its who I think it is he is a P.O.S. I've been stroked by that guy for a couple of years now. If he works at the hospital next to Valley Fair then thats him.

[Flash68]

Mike, are you still actively trying to sell this? Any offers lately? What is your current asking price?

Just trying to keep tabs on market pricing as my project gets closer to completion in case I try to sell her also....

[mazspeed]

Hey guys, still for sale. Need to sell ASAP. My Mortgage is going to cause someone to get a fantastic deal. Call me at 408-420-3051.

The perfect car! I could really see me and Priscilla cruising in that bad boy!

[Vegas69]

[ELVIS_PRESLEY]

Right through downtown Memphis.....

That's right baby, then we'll head right on out to Vegas and pick you up for a spin. I'm sure I sound good blasting out of those fancy speakers!

[mazspeed]

I had it on ebay, but took it off. I'm not very good with e-bay ads.

[69496]

I don't see the price anywhere?

[GregWeld]

[dlouie87]

a question about your wheels. Were you satisfied with the 18x9 in there rear?

I'm trying to do a 18x10 5.5bs on my 67... I want a more lip but i'm scared about fitment.

Without tubbing the most you want to go is a 9 inch rear. 10 will be too much and will rub without mini tubbing.

how about if i roll/shave the inner part of the fender? I'm just scared to pull the trigger on wheels because I know that some people run 18x10 without minitubbing their cars. But I heard that i "might" have problems.

I would not do that, you would have to pull the fenders over an inch and roll them. It's just too much. 9 inch is a lot, but we were lucky.
