This purposeful looking 1967 Chevrolet Camaro features the modern comfort of a restomod mixed with LS1 crate engine power.When it comes to classic muscle cars, Chevy’s Camaro is one that needs nothing from the aftermarket for it to look relevant over 50 years later. The styling and stance are timeless. That’s why we are completely enamored with this restomod 1967 Camaro we stumbled across on Bring a Trailer. There’s very little to give away that underneath this minty fresh looking first year Camaro lurks a 5.7-Liter LS1 V8 crate engine, a wealth of performance mods for the chassis and some modern conveniences such as power windows and air conditioning.It’s a prime example of what we consider a restomod sleeper being built right. The LS1 is hooked up to a ZF 6-Speed manual transmission via a Centerforce clutch, and we can just imagine the fun we would have embarrassing modern cars from the lights with that setup. Even the 16 Rallye-style wheels by Wheel Vintiques look close enough to OEM that nobody is going to look twice. The only obvious giveaway to what’s truly going on with this Camaro build is that it’s sitting a little lower than stock. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" />
