RIght on! This guys a real gearhead digging the solid lifters. Have a 383 also similar. My 1st ride man I Was in love with that thing. Good times in Ventura County, late 80s Gawd I got in a lot of trouble in it! Love this story, great couple! Still young at heart for sure
Have had my'67 Camaro SS350 convertible 48 years(Only 10 when they came out in '67)! Purchased it in May '75! Dated my wife in it, went on our honeymoon in it in'80! Still runs and drives like new! Rebuilt the 350(Camaro exclusive in '67) in '78! went through the muncie and changed the rear to 4.11 posi! Tach still works! Also bought '87 Grand National new in Jan '88! Also own '68 Mercury Cougar(wife's brother bought new) with 428 cobra jet with ram air! Have the original window stickers on GN and Cougar! Had to replace radiator last year after 55 years service! Love the first Camaros!
I bought mine in 73 when I was 17 for 775.00 327 powerglide with 89,000 and now it has 110,00 owned it 50 years now 67 years old. Married my wife in 76 she was 19 I was 20 still got both.
Wow! Very Nice. So Far on facebook I have only found one other original owner of Gen 1 (67-69) that is still kicking and has the original car. Thanks commenting. Ed and Kathie
@@EdwardMcCormick-mg8fj that factory AC is not an easy job to install like mine too didn't come with it . In 73 I also bought a 65 convertible GT mustang and in 74 I bought a 71 AMX With a 401 torkflight auto what a beast it was , AMX was sold in 77 and the mustang was sold in 99 and I can't get rid of the Camaro and is in the trust to be handled to my son and never let it go.
Very interesting to hear that the car sat on the lot that long. The car was born the first week of January, 1967 and sold in October. Very interesting. I wonder if it was just hidden? Absolutely gorgeous car!
@@CarsShopsAndCollections I think there is a video here of a 1967 Yenko Camaro that sat in a showroom and sold either late 1967, or early 1968. Ironically, also red.
Too bad he didn’t check off the box for the Z/28, then it would be worth lots of $. I wish painters would stop painting the bottom of the trunk lid when they add stripes. It’s not a Mustang.😂 The black vinyl top would make the red pop. I think he wishes he ordered a 4 speed cause he can’t keep his hands off the automatic shift handle. 😂 Maybe all automatic on the floor drivers pretend. That cam sounds like it’s not meant for the street. You can hear it. When I met my wife in College in 1973 I drove a 1964 2 door Chevelle with a 283 2 barrel carb with auto transmission on the column. In 1974 I bought a 1968 Z/28, british green with white stripes. All 67-69 Z/28’s were 4 speeds. No automatics were available until 1970. A friend of mine is the current owner of my 68. I’ve bought several old and new Z/28’s and my current one is a 1970 non RS Z/28 4 speed which I purchased in 1981 from the original owner. It came from the factory with cranberry red paint with white stripes. I ran into the original owner a couple yrs ago and he asked if it was for sale. I said no but told him a friend of mine owns 2 70 Z/28’s but he said he wanted his back.😮

Thank you for watching! Yeah… kind of crazy it wasn’t sold right away? Maybe it was on the show Floor the entire time?

Since his parents bought him the car I hope they bought a new Camaro for both of their sons to keep up the tradition.
This was great! Good dam job

I’m constantly using the slap shifter in my Challenger! I appreciate you watching and I think it’s great that you can still see your 68!
Solids sound bigger than they really are looks streetable to me.
He might have a manual valve body;Doubt he regrets buying it over some value thing
