FS 1967 Camaro Pro Touring G Machine

[Van B]

Absolutely no expense has been spared in building this high quality Pro Touring car that features excellent acceleration, handling, stopping, refined road manners, and great looks to match. The end product is an outstanding street car that is also very capable on the track.
The car was originally equipped with a 6 cylinder and a Powerglide, so no rare muscle cars were harmed in this build.

The list below highlights the parts that have gone into the build.

Engine
Wegner Motorsports L92 (6.2L) balanced and blueprinted Wegner CNC cylinder heads 10.87:1 compression,
Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam (.585/.595 lift, 291/301 duration)

Exterior
BASF Diamont Base/Clear -Victory Red
Glasstek Carbon Fiber 2” cowl induction hood
Ring Brothers Billet “airframe” hood hinges
Marquez billet taillights with American Autowire LEDs.
Twist Machine Aluminum rear spoiler
Stock Camaro spoiler also goes with car and is painted to match
Stainless fastener kit from Prodigy Customs used on assembly

Front bumper bracket slots in fenders were eliminated. Firewall smoothed. Emblems, drip rail trim, wheel opening moldings, rocker trim and antenna hole were all eliminated and holes welded up. Trunk floor and fuel tank were modified to move the filler behind the rear license plate (like a 69 Camaro).

Car was media blasted to bare metal in 2008 and was found to be extremely solid. Full quarter panels had been installed by prior owner and by all appearances were professionally installed. The front fenders each received small (4”x4”) patch panels in the rear corners. There was no other rust found on the car.

It was painted in winter 2008-2009 in BASF Victory Red base/clear with a satin black bumblebee stripe on the nose. Wing window frames were re chromed as well as the rear bumper. All rubber seals are new. Glass is in great shape as is all stainless window trim.

The car works great whether you are carving up the twisty bits or cruising down the interstate. The double overdrive T56 transmission helps it deliver 20+ mpg on the highway. So much has gone into this project that it would be impossible to list it all. Please email with any specific questions you may have.

I will consider any of the following plus cash as trades. C5 or C6 Z06, LS powered 4th gen F Body, 5th gen Camaro SS, 04-06 GTO, CTS-V, BMW M3, Porsche 911, 20-28 foot enclosed trailer, Duramax powered truck, late model Mustang Boss 302 or GT500, or anything else that is interesting. No boats, ATVs or sport bikes. I would consider an even trade for the right C6 ZR-1.

$69,000

[Van B]

Thanks guys! The good news is I don't have to sell it, but I am feeling like it is time for something new. The next build will be a little more economical. No $2k intakes and the like. I just can't justify having this much money in a car.

[Gatekeeper]

Jeff, that is one wicked ride, just sent the link to a friend.

You should still be laughing. :rofl: It happens to me all the time. People seem to think because you are selling something that you must be desperate or either on hard times and in a bind or hurry to sale.

[lesone]

Nice looking car :thumbsup:

[6D9 Matt]

Awesome Camaro! Good luck with the sale... :thumbsup:

[lesone]

:woot: Good Looking camaro.. GLWS :cheers:

[Van B]

Just when I thought I had heard it all. Today I woke up to an email notifying me of an ebay message from someone who wants to know if I am interested in donating the car to Arizona State University.

Yeah, that is what I am going to do. I linked it to the auction if you would like to read the message in it's entirety.

Another good laugh. :rofl:

A long time ago there was a Camaro ,in primer that went off track at Blackhawk . Same car by chance?
Saw the listing at the Midwestern Council site .
Good luck with the sale :cheers:

Nope. The primer car from a couple years ago is Matt Altamore (screen name Bowtie67 I think). His car is a 69. He has autocrossed in Midwest Council.

LOL---that is amazing----I had a couple of those at the Del Mar show this past November---and I would have thought they would have known better.

If I had WELD money, this would be a no brainer--always loved this car--I can appreciate the intent though---I too find it harder to justify that kind of cash for a single part----comes from owning and racing a Camaro for many years---Blessings on the sale!

Yeah that would be my car.

Jeff's car is perfect, I had the pleasure to ride along at Road America, insane!!!!

GLWS, whoever gets it will be very happy.

[Van B]

Got my consignment package for Mecum Indianapolis yesterday. The car will be running on May 18 around 6:30 most likely right smack dab in the middle of a commercial break.

The car is not for sale until that time.

[Vince@Meanstreets]

good luck jeff, start prepping and pouring on the internet coverage.

[SnakeEater]

First good luck with the sale. I wish that I could buy it but your car was the inspiration for my build. I have constantly looked at the magazine article to stay on track. Again good luck, the new owner is a lucky guy or gal.

Sounds like a good idea. Good luck !

I wish they would televise it on a diffent channel, I already have enough I don't watch. :(

[HAULNSS]

Is it available for 'test drives'? :unibrow: Does the E-brake work? :_paranoid


:rofl:

Good luck with the sale! :cheers:

[Bucketlist2012]

sorry i thought that was a reasonable offer!how about $4200 and you pay shipping costs!:lol:

I think we need to add a zero... 4200 buys the wheels and tires...

[Van B]

I think we need to add a zero... 4200 buys the wheels and tires...

...and then multiply by two :yes:

[coolwelder62]

If I had WELD money.
DougDoug,WTH is weld money.And how do U get it.:willy: :willy:

[The T-man]

What is wrong with people? I got an offer today on the Camaro for $3,550. Thanks a lot reelsteelusa! Jackass.

How about $35,500.00 :_paranoid
give or take $5K

[Van B]

Back for sale after going no sale at auction. NEW PRICE and still very open to trades.

$75,000 or reasonable offer.

[Matt@BOS]

Good luck with the sale. I'm surprised it didn't meet the reserve. It is a nice car for sure. Perhaps it just wasn't the right auction for the car. Seems like pro touring cars do better at certain venues, and not as well at others. Who knows?

Matt

[JNS]

Nice......

[RdHuggr68]

What was the highest bid?

[Van B]

What was the highest bid?

They didn't take the time to find a real bid. They cracked it at 50k and ran to 71k without a bid. Then they spent a bunch of time trying to snag someone at 71. Discouraging as I told Frank 3 minutes earlier to make sue and find real money.

Ah..... the 'auction process'... I've written about it on Lat G before. People don't want to seem to believe me on "how it all works". Great place to sell - not so hot to buy unless it's something really special that isn't available anywhere else.


Nice car BTW!


Doug -- Financing is available.... :rofl: :woot:

Auto auctions are how I have made my living for 22 years and the Mecums know me and what I do. All the more reason I thought they would at least give it an honest try.

[Johnny Wayne]

Could I please get your phone number? I would like to chat with you about your car. Thanks :)

Wayne

[Roe]

Great Looking car. Good luck on the sale!!!

[mario65]

Great car. I loved reading up on it. I can't stand Mecum auctions, I don't even watch them because I hate seeing how they screw over the sellers.

[Van B]

I would have been happy to have been pressured a little to lower my reserve. For now I am going to have some fun with it and enter the Faceoff at Road America in a few weeks.

[clill]

Not sure how they screw over sellers. The seller does not have to lower his reserve. Mecum brings buyers from all over the country to buy cars. Great auction that I have both bought and sold cars at.

[Van B]

Car is still for sale and is fresh off of a 14th place (of 36 cars) overall finish at Optima's Faceoff at Road America including a 9th place finish in the road course competition. Autocross and Speed stop are not my strengths, and I am sure that the car is capable of more.

I have added as many details as I could to the original post. Please contact me if you have interest.

On ebay one more time. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271014143552

[Van B]

New price and it is on ebay with no reserve and a starting bid of $65,000. High bidder will own it. :thumbsup: Check previous post for link.

[Spiffav8]

Somebody buy this car already! I'm tired of avoiding this thread as I want to buy it! :rolleyes:

You and I are thinking the same thing. :lol:

You and I are thinking the same thing. :lol:

Curtis it sure would be faster to buy a done car and make it your own then start from scratch! :D

[Van B]

I have vowed not to bump this to the top any more unless I am responding to someone.

[Spiffav8]

Curtis it sure would be faster to buy a done car and make it your own then start from scratch! :D

Rick,

Jeff's car is one that I would love to have. It is perfect for me in so many ways (other than it's not blue) and in the long run it would be cheaper. Still this addiction is anything but cheap and I refuse to fund any part of it with anything other than cash, cash that I can afford. So for now, I'll just keep saving for that big stack of parts I need. Jeff's car is worth every penny he's asking and then some.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh I get what you are saying, if I had a big lump of cash there a several cars the I would have bought and then but my own touches on but as you I will not build my car with credit so as I have the cash to spend I buy parts! :thumbsup:

See Jeff you don't have to bump the thread we'll do it for you :lol:

maybe he meant $35,000:_paranoid
which is still lowballing...:cool:

[MaxHarvard]

I can personally recommend this car as I've seen it up close and it's everything Jeff says it is and more... very clean, very fast and is a great car. Can't build it for that kind of money!

If nothing happens this time I just may have to change the seats and put a stereo in it. That seems to be everyone's objection. "Too track car ish".

sissies..................... :lol:

[Stuart Adams]

Cool car. Wegner is top notch stuff. Ill bet it sounds great and pulls hard.

[intocarss]
