(Xplants Bro) Gary's 67 L35 Camaro

[BBIGG BLOCK 396]

That is a extremely nice Camaro,sure would look good sitting next to my Chevelle! LOL I love the story also very cool.Nice to see someone keep there car for so long.I know a lot of guys locally that get really nice rides but in a couple of years they sell them or trade them for something else.I get too attached to my old hooptys and don't want to part with them.I don't care about making money off of them I get something because I like it and want to keep it.Sort of like my wife,when I found her I knew she was a keeper!

I just can't get tired of looking at this car.

I too was "seduced" at an early age by the 396 flags on '67 BB Camaros. My buddy bought a one-owner Marina Blue/black top L35/auto '67 when we were in high school in 1979. (Seattle Sam: It had a black nose stripe and pinstripes.) I saw those Turbo Jet flags and then the chrome valve covers and open-element AC and I practically flipped. I told myself that someday I'd get a '67 SS 396 Camaro. I finally got one in 1999 and I still go out in the garage, pull up my work stool and sit and look at those 396 flags. That emblem has got to be the coolest displacement emblems Detroit ever concocted. (Okay Ford and Mopar lovers, it's among the coolest.)

Bruce, if your bro ever wants to sell his '67 I think I could make room for it next to mine.

'67s with the RS/SS option to me are one of the sexist cars ever built..

Bill you are right about the crossed flag emblems I think they are really cool...they have the right amount of bling that just grab your attention and make you take note of the car they are on....very nice car Gary!!!..I also wouldn't mind it sitting here with the sb car.

Bud.

Simply superb!!!! Beautiful car, Gary, and thanks to Bruce for getting the story and pics to Bob.

I LOVE the last pic with the slotted mags and slapper bars Just exactly 'The Look' that everyone worked for back in the day!

Hi to everyone, this is Bruce's brother Gary. THANKS for all the nice comments on the Camaro.

As an FYI on the BLACK nose stipe...I know now, (from the published info), Marina Blue cars came in either color, but the default color was WHITE on an "FF" car. (The photo from the original owner also made it really clear....but only after the fact!) A black stripe was on a black vinyl top car, (F-2). Aside from it being "wrong", I still like it black, especially with the black of the RS grill. So, until one of my kids gets the car, (you know, like when I am DEAD!)it will stay black.

One final thought, you know what else I really liked about the car the very first time I saw it? The rear mounted antenna! It looks Soooo COOL out back, like a '60's muscle car should.

Thanks again
Gary
