You’re so right, this car has many stories. The owner has a second chance at making more because of a supportive wife and a great shop. Looking forward to following along. ~ Chuck
'67 Camaro SS 350 12 bolt had a Round traction support bar from the Right side Floor to the axle tube on the 12 bolt. This was to correct wheel hop, which was fixed in '68 by staggered shocks. IIRC the 1967 Camaro SS350 has MONO leaf spring perches ( shallow) and MONO leaf Springs when new. I have owned a couple. Great project, Not a fan of Y-2 paint combo though hehe!
I have a one owner (bought it from the original owner in July of '23) '67 RS/SS 350, 4 speed car. It has a square traction bar and I have verified with the original owner that it has never been changed or modified. My car was manufactured in the last week of '66 if that makes any difference.
Thats as old a debate as the chicken crossing the road. It is clearly laid out in the factory assembly manual notes the dates and actions surrounding the traction bar. Started in Dec 1966 Round was intended for 350 and square for 396 that was out by then. One of my 32 Camaros was a 67 dealer demonstrator car for Martin Chevrolet in Cleveland Texas. marina blue bright blue deluxe interior RS/SS 350 4 speed air conditioning console guages interior chrome package on a pillars and roof line inside, it was decked out beautiful car. Original owner almost immediately returned the car due to wheel hop. 11B LOS car. NO traction bar at all period. Read the dates in the factory assembly manual tells you dates and all.
This was first year for the 350ci only offered on the Camaro SS. I have owned and restored this car in a rag top since the late 1980's. A couple things that you may note, incorrect hood which is obvious , SS only hood has two pho air scoops. Rally wheels should have flat dish caps, not sombreros. Engine should have chrome dress ups which included chrome "Chevrolet" script valve covers, a large black base, chrome lid, QJet air cleaner and a chrome oil filler cap. There should be a single small traction bar that was supposed to help with wheel hop. Steering wheel should be three chrome spokes with an "SS350" script horn button. The bottom of the cowl tag should note "4P" which is a factory born SS350 car. Appears to be a pretty solid car and a clean slate for whatever direction the owner may wish to pursue,
Wow that guys wife is a rare find. No matter what they decide it's their car to enjoy (again). My 3 cents worth this time around return her back to the factory colors. Remove rust wherever, replace the "needed" parts to make it Go and Stop... I'd keep the headers and flow masters (but new) double chambers or triples or some related exhaust audio, that's if you want to listen to the radio... if you know what I mean... I think you do.
I owned a 1967 numbers matching Camaro 350 RS/SS 4-speed and drove it as a daily driver for 3 years. It was a tank. I did need to replace the clutch once. Maybe that wasn't the cars fault however.
Based on the car’s sentiment significance, I would go back to black with the black interior so that the owner can still have a piece of his brother. Just my .02.

One can tell that you truly love these old cars, and I love that about you.

Right on! Thanks!
Awesome episode! Thank you.
Getting his original car back, especially by his wonderful wife is quite a rarity.

It looks like the Camaro in the movie "Better Off Dead."
👍 And looks great in black.
Yep was gonna say the same you beat me to it.
What a sweet car! Nice and solid. Like you said, car could use a restoration but realistically it doesn’t NEED it. Beauty! Looks like a fun driver
Great Camaro! Looking forward to watching the progress no matter how the owner wants it. Thanks for sharing.
You and me both!
Turn it back to yellow please! Hideaway headlights, V8 4 speed, Im a mustang man but wouldn't mind one of these at all. Fix it up!
Thanks Kevin!
For what it is , this thing is nice 😊
