This is a picture of a "Chevy-ized" version of the early 1967 hood tach that is on the Bill Mitchell Cherokee Camaro styling exercise car. This is the style that was on my car.

If you want a real one just buy the November 29, 1966 issue of Look magazine. Plenty of them on eBay. That ad is the centerfold.

I finally grabbed my ankles and shelled out the 350 per tire for the Goodyear G70x15 Redlines that came originally on this car. I know they're not as smooth and don't handle as well as radials, but I can't do without the sharp look of the bias plys. The ribbed profile just outside the redline circumference also adds character to the look on these old tires. The Coker Firestone G70-15 redlines are 250 per tire, but I like the Goodyear better. The disc brake option on this car bumps the standard wheel diameter from 14" to 15" disc wheels. The Z24 option bumps the wheel width from 5" to 6" (F41 did so redundantly on this one) and demands red stripe tires unless you opt for white stripes.

Sweet car Jeff. My Grandfather bought a '67 SS new but was just a 327-275 powerglide. Capri Cream I believe it was called. Seemed like the fasted car on the road when you're just a kid. Always loved the look of the '67's.

Plum with the stripes?

That's like my dream Impala.
