If this week’s ride looks familiar to you, it probably is.
Dave’s 1967 RS SS Camaro has been used in a lot of marketing campaigns; it is featured prominently in Superior Axle and Gear’s brochures and marketing material and is also proudly displayed in sales and marketing material for Eaton Corporation including being displayed on the Eaton Posi box -- which is not so ironic when you learn that the 1967 Camaro offered the Eaton Posi as original equipment.
This Camaro boasts the 396 Big Block V8 engine (6.5L) that was bored 40 over giving it head snapping horse power. It has the black deluxe interior, Muncie 4 Speed transmission, power steering, fold-down back seat, tachometer on dash, tilt steering and cowl induction. The bold black racing stripes on the La Mans metallic blue paint let’s you know that this ride will pass anything except a gas station.
Dave secured this amazing ride in 1998 out of Arizona and the body was virtually perfect with one small rust spot. He spent 4 years of painstaking effort to restore this beauty to its original condition.
Dave’s son Cameron made an insightful observation after riding in the car for the first time. He noted that the Camaro has 6 ashtrays and not a single cup holder. Well times do change but the beauty of this classic will remain a constant.
