1967 Camaro Story
 
Not sure if you've all seen this before, but I remembered today that I read this article so many years ago. Great story about an amazing find regarding a 1967 Camaro that was a surprise.

Neat story. When I saw the build date on the TT, I had to look at mine. I thought they were the same month, but mine is 2C and his is 3C...11,400 bodies apart but same color.

I still have that issue.

I'm seeing a couple of confusing typos.

"When I looked up the two-letter MP code stamped into the block, my motor's manual listed this as a '67 290hp 327 with AIR. I knew that couldn't be correct because that was a Z/28 engine-and at this point I didn't want to believe this was a Z/28. Where were the aluminum intake, Holley carb, and four-speed?"

327?

Also this

"The car was equipped in much the same condition as I purchased it 19 years later, but Mary was quick to point out that it was in fact a Z/28"

1967-1979 is 12 years.

It's a good article but those two things definitely threw me off.

L72copocamaro 03-18-2021 08:13 PM

I agree. That's surprising for a Jeff Smith article. Probably some stuff edited out that might clarify things. And maybe find out how "Jim" came into the search and became a friend.
