The 1967 Camaro Review.

 

The Camaro reset the standard for pony cars with it's debut on September 26, 1966. The Camaro was more than merely an answer to the Mustang, it was an instant icon that captured the attention of the youth-oriented pony car market.  Derived from a French word meaning "comrade" or "pal", Camaro was quickly recognized as a friendly word for sport-car buyers looking for value.  With its sleek lines and a long list of luxury and performance options, the new car was a hit with the public.       The Camaro’s all-new, semi-unitized chassis became the basis for a variety of performance suspensions and power plants. Wrapped around the chassis was a body shell destined to become a classic. The timeless long, short deck design epitomized the pony car concept, and was perhaps the most fluid and undisturbed variation of the theme. Pages of options, as well as upgrade packages like RS and SS, allowed buyers to literally custom build their car from dealers' option lists. Right out of the gate, the Camaro could be powered with anything from a six cylinder to a big-block 396, but the buying public took a while to warm up to the notion that a pony car could also be fast. A majority of F-bodies were ordered with a small-block 327 or the new 350, both of which easily out-performed Ford's 289, and made excellent foundations for street performance. The mid-year introduction of the 302-powered Z/28 achieved an almost ideal combination of horsepower and weight for all-around performance, and immediately began tearing up the SCCA Trans Am circuit. For die-hard horsepower enthusiasts, word traveled quickly that the Camaro made an outstanding straight-line terror. Big-block Camaro’s immediately began propelling legends like Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins to Super Stock victories at drag strips across the country, and weekend racers followed their lead. Recognizing an untapped performance market, Chevrolet dealers like Dana, Nickey and Yenko soon created some legends of their own, sliding 427 Rat engines under Camaro hoods before sending them out the door. The 1967 Camaro did not have external Z/28 badges. (They were introduced in 1968) However owners can always add aftermarket badges to their 1967's cars. The result of this lack of emblems mean't the only Z28 clue on the 1967 Camaro's is the twin stripes that go down the Hood and deck lid. GM-developed energy-absorbing steering column and wheel were introduced. In 1967, Elliot M. "Pete" Estes was general manager of Chevrolet Motor Division. It was a good year for the Camaro as production of 220,906 cars was realized in the model year. That represented 2.9% of total U.S. industry production. The total included 58,761 6-cylinder (I-6) cars and 162,145 V8 engine-powered Camaro's. Industry trade journals reported that 154,698 Camaro's were built at the Norwood, Ohio, plant and 65,008 Camaro's were made at a factory in Van Nuys (Los Angeles), California. In addition, the trade journals showed 1,200 Camaro's "produced" at an assembly plant in Bloomfield, New Jersey. According to Camaro Brand Manager Scott Settlemire's sources, these 1,200 cars were actually units produced at the Norwood factory and shipped to a site near Bloomfield (possibly Little Ferry) where they were "knocked down" for shipment overseas. This means that the total number of cars built in Norwood was actually 155,898. Camaro sales for calendar-year 1967 came to 205,816 (2.7% of industry) in 1967 compared to 46,758 (0.6%) in the fall of 1966, right after it was first introduced. The March 1967 edition of "Road & Track" magazine featured a road test of a Camaro RS (Rally Sport) Sport Coupe with the 327-cid 275-hp V8 engine, 4-speed manual transmission and 3.07:1 ratio rear axle. It did 0 to 30 mph in 3.7 sec., 0 to 60 mph in 9.1 sec. and the quarter mile in 16.9 sec. at 87 mph. The May 1967 edition of "Motor Trend" magazine road tested a Camaro Z28 coupe with the 302-cid 290-hp V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission. It did 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 sec. and the quarter mile in 14.8 sec. at 96 mph. The magazine noted that this engine was "rumored to bring more than 400 truehp to the starting line." It also pointed out that the Z28 ran a slower 0 to 60 mph time than an SS (Super Sport) 396-cid Camaro, but a faster quarter mile time. A 1967 Camaro RS/SS-396 convertible was selected to pace the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. A total of 104 similar convertibles were built for "official" use at the big race. The Camaro's front sub-frame was large enough to hold big-block Chevy V8 engines like the 396-cid Turbo-.Jet V8 engine. This meant that 427-cid V8 engines could also be accommodated and a small number of 1967 Camaro's were converted to 427 power by Yenko Chevrolet of Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, Mickey Chevrolet of Chicago, Bill Thomas of Anaheim, California (who worked in connection with Mickey Chevrolet), and by Motion Performance of Baldwin, New York. Of the 220,906 Camaro's built in the model year, 56.2% had automatic transmission, 21.5% had a 4-speed manual transmission, 26.6% were equipped with an I-6 (Inline 6-cylinder) engine, and 73.4% were equipped with a V8 engine. 78.8% had an AM radio, 2.8% had an AM/FM radio, 18.2% had a clock, 12.8% had air conditioning, 3.6% had a tilt steering wheel, 41.7% had power steering, 8.3% had power drum brakes, 6.7% had disc brakes, 2.2% had power side windows, 97% had front bucket seats, 23.7% had a vinyl roof, 63% had white sidewall tires, 37.1% had a tinted windshield (only), 15.7% had all tinted glass, 16.3% had dual exhausts, 14.4% had a limited-slip differential, 67.9% had wheel covers and 0.1% had cruise control. A total of 204,862 new Camaro's were registered in the 1967 calendar-year compared to 41,100 in the 1966 calendar-year. The 1967 Camaro SS 350 package (RPO Z27) cost Chevrolet dealers $152 and retailed for $210.65. The 1967 RS (Rally Sport) package (RPO Z22) cost Chevrolet dealers $76 and retailed for $105.35. 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Description Standard equipment included a satin silver horizontal bars grille with 6 vertical dividers, inset headlights and parking lights, twin-segment taillights with integral back-up lights on the inboard segment, all-vinyl front bucket seats, an all-vinyl rear bench seat, elegant new interior door styling with bright metal inserts, shielded door handles, a 3-spoke steering wheel with circular "Camaro" horn button, a new gauge cluster with large round speedometer and fuel gauges and monitoring lights, Astro Ventilation with standard cowl side vents and 2 adjustable vent-ports mounted on the instrument panel, an energy-absorbing steering column, seat belts with push-button buckles for all passenger positions, shoulder belts for the driver and right front passenger with push-button buckles and a convenient storage provision on Sport Coupe models, passenger-guard door locks with deflecting lock buttons on all doors, a 4-way hazard warning flasher, a dual master cylinder brake system with a warning light and corrosion-resistant brake lines, latches on the folding seat backs, dual-speed windshield wipers, windshield washers, an outside rearview mirror, back-up lights, a padded instrument panel, padded sun visors, padded windshield pillars, a reduced-glare instrument panel top, reduced-glare inside windshield moldings, a reduced-glare horn button, a reduced-glare steering wheel hub, an inside day/night rearview mirror with deflecting base, directional signals with a lane-change feature, safety armrests, a thick-laminate windshield, soft low-profile window control knobs and coat hooks, energy-absorbing seat backs, yielding door and window control handles, an energy-absorbing instrument panel with smooth-contoured knobs and levers, safety wheel rims, safety door latches and hinges, a uniform shift quadrant, an energy-absorbing steering wheel, snag-resistant steering wheel hardware, fuel tank and filler pipe security, an all-welded steel unit body with separate front rubber-mounted frame section, cross-braced Sport Coupe roof supports, heavy-gauge convertible rocker panels, an independent front coil spring suspension, Mono-Leaf rear leaf springs (multi-leaf rear springs with extra-cost V8 engines), bias-mounted rear shock absorbers, Safety-Master self-adjusting brakes, a dual-chamber brake master cylinder, Rayon-reinforced front and rear brake hoses, a foot operated parking brake, a long-life corrosion-resistant exhaust system with standard emission controls, a 12-volt electrical system with a 9-37-amp Delcotron diode-rectified generator and re-circulating ball-race steering with 28.3:1 manual gear ratio. In addition to or in place of all of the standard equipment listed above for base Camaro's, the SS 350 package included a special hood with raised simulated air intakes, a big "SS 350" emblem for the center of the grille, a 350-cid 295-hp V8, a color-keyed "bumblebee" type front accent band, "SS" identification inside the breaks on the bumblebee striping, "SS 350" identification on the round fuel filler cap at the center of the rear body panel, red stripe wide-oval tires on 14 x 6-in. wheels and the F41 suspension with stiffer shock absorbers and springs. After the beginning of the model year, 2 engine options based on the 396-cid "big-block" Turbo-Jet V8 were offered. They included the L35 with 325 hp and the L78 with 375 hp. When either of these motors was added, the engine call-outs on the grille emblem and fuel cap emblem were deleted and the rear body panel carried flat black finish. In other words, both the front grill emblem and rear fuel cap said "SS" rather than "SS 396". In addition to or in place of the standard equipment listed above for Camaro Base Coupes & Convertibles, cars with the Rally Sport package also featured a vertical ornament with an "RS" emblem in the center of the grille, a similar emblem on the round gas filler cap at the center of the rear body panel, an "RS" emblem on the circular steering wheel horn button, a black-finished full-width lattice grille with electrically operated concealed headlights, lower body side moldings, a black accent below the body side moldings (with some body colors), color-keyed body accent stripes, sporty styling for the front parking and turning lights, sports-style back-up lights, a distinctive edged-in-black taillight treatment with 2 lamps in each taillight unit for driving, braking and turn signal direction, bright metal front wheel opening moldings, bright metal rear wheel opening moldings and a bright drip rail molding on Sport Coupes. The Rally Sport option could be added to any Camaro with any engine. To determine the cost of other model-options with Rally Sport equipment installed add the package price of $105.35 to the factory prices for the specific SS or Z28 model.       Excerpted from camarosource.ca source: http://www.firstgencamaro.com/1967.html   Tags: camaro part, camaro parts, Camaro restoration parts, 69 camaro, 1969 camaro, aftermarket camero parts, chevrolet camaro, ss, z28, rs, chevrolet, restoration, 68 camaro, chevy, 67, 69, f-body, camaro, chevy camaro, chevrolet camaro, gm, z-28, 350, ls1, z/28, pace car, camaro ss, 69 camaro, first generation, copo, fbody, yenko, 67 camaro, 68 camaro, musclecar   http://www.stevescamaroparts.com

1967 - 1969 Camaro Parts - Tale of the 1967 Black Panther Camaro - Steves Camaro Parts

Tale of the Black Panther Camaro

t's estimated that less than 50 of these souped-up Camaros were produced, and only two are known to exist
Story Provided by:
Bob & Lorraine Simonen

While Ford was fighting off the early successes of the Chevrolet Corvair and Chevy II with their introduction of the Mustang in August of 1964, GM began work on a counter-punch experimental project named XP-836. The XP-836 project directly targeted the Ford Mustang mystique and the new youth market that emerged from almost nowhere in the eyes of GM marketers. The surprising popularly of Ford's Mustang framed the XP-836 project from the very start and incorporated the "Mustang formula" in the early years of production.

 

 

In the winter of 1965, the XP-836 project turned out a proto type car based on some cobbled up Chevy IIs. While crude, the new Chevrolet was shaping up to run well along side Ford's Pony car. Now named the "Panther", the project and the proto-types were written about in great length by the automotive press with all the excitement of a pending rivalry with the Mustang. Given a name that the public could latch onto, the "Panther" was quickly being promoted as GM's Mustang-fighter. Sometimes called "Chevy's Mustang" the "Panther" evolved conceptually using much of the Mustang marketing formula. Now branded with the "Panther" script and leaping-cat emblems similar to that used by Jaguar, the proto-types advanced with an outward confidence that Chevrolet's sleek new cat would be chasing down the Mustang. By early 1966, Ralph Nader was doing a hatchet job on the Corvair, and GM management sought to tone-down the image of their new car in hopes of not drawing the attention of safety crusaders with the aggressive "Panther" name.

Seeking a "clammier" image for the new car, the marketing department looked to their current line of Chevrolet monikers, the Corvair, Corvette, Chevelle, and Chevy II for inspiration. Desiring another "C" name brand, merchandising manager Bob Lund and GM Car & Truck Group vice-president Ed Rollert poured through French and Spanish dictionaries and came up with "camaro". Meaning, "warm friend", the new name offered GM an excellent label to compliment the current Chevrolet line and introduce their new car with a much tamer image. 

Though the "camaro" name was replacing the various project names the car had been developed under, outside the company some controversy over the meaning of the new name was causing a potential image problem for the new car. In an unprecedented national conference call with some 200 journalists, GM released the "warm & friendly" camaro name to the public ahead of the cars introduction to dealer showrooms. The effort was successful in quashing any "image killing" interpretations of the new camaro moniker. 

In 1967, amidst the phenomenal success of the Ford Mustang, General Motors pulled off a sensational introduction of the Chevrolet camaro by delivering over 212,000 units to dealer showrooms that year. Keeping in fashion with the Mustang formula, the camaro was offered with a laundry list of options at both the factory and dealer level. camaro customers could custom build their own car with a host of options previously only available on Chevrolet's higher-line models. Desiring the same custom performance treatments being offered by Shelby America for the Mustang, camaro enthusiasts looked to the dealerships in hopes of finding these performance options. Happily, the folks at Toronto-basedGorries Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealership answered the call to incorporate their race knowledge into the new camaro. The result was the "Black Panther" camaro.

 

Already known in racing and rally circles with their work on the Corvette, Gorries's geared up to modify a limited number of camaros into Black Panthers, giving the camaro some real street muscle. Modifications such as heavy-duty front coils, rear leaf stiffeners, tubular shocks, 10" front disc brakes, power assist brakes and steering, 500 magnum wheels and low profile Uniroyal 8.55 X 14 tubeless tires were added to the dealer-modified cars. Brake balancing valves and other small tuning points remarkably improved the handling and the drivability of the standard production car.

 

All Gorries Black Panther camaros were of course painted black, with a painted gold band around the nose. The Black Panther nameplate was fixed to the forefront of each fender and on the rear deck lid. A gold stripe was added along the bodyline above the rocker panel area and a Gold pin stripe was added just below the upper side bodyline.

 

The Panther's came with a deluxe Gold interior and any of the regular factory options a customer might desire. This first Panther out of the Gorries shop was equipped with the "007" James Bond panel as a bit of a joke. Simply enough, a console was added in place of the glove box lid between the seats. The console featured a row of six or eight toggle switches labeled, Seat Ejector, Machine Guns, Smoke Ejectors, etc. What began as a joke later turned out later to be a customer demanded option that even the most reserved customers opted for.

 

Gorries offered both the 327 and 427 V-8 engine options for their Panthers. The 327 offering was the 275HP L30 engine, at 10:1 compression and made 355FT pounds of torque at 3,200 RPM. The optional blueprinted 427 - 435HP, ZL1 engine with its neck snapping 460FT pounds of torque at 4,000 RPM put some real teeth in the Panthers. At 12:1 compression, the ZL1 engine with its large 4-barrel carburetor proved to be a formal opponent for the Shelby GT-500 Mustangs, which carried the 428 big-block Ford engine, but only developed 355HP in 1967.

 

Gorries franchised the sale of the Black Panther to Chevrolet dealerships as far way as New Orleans. It's estimated that less than 50 Black Panthers were produced. Only two cars are known to exist today, with the remainder unaccounted for. The Black Panther camaro may be the rarest of the dealer inspired street racers and no doubt the best looking. While not as well know as the Yenko camaros, the Gorries "Black Panther" stands out as great example of dealer derived street muscle at a time when "Race on Sunday and Sell on Monday" was the performance enthusiast creed.

 

It's unknown how many of the Black Panthers still exist, but the example shown here is owned by Bob & Lorraine Simonen of Sault Ste. Marie of Ontario, Canada. Bob bought the car in April of 1967 from Gorries Downtown Chevrolet in Toronto. Bob drove the car daily until the mid 1980's when he decided to garage his black beauty with thoughts of restoring it one day.

 

In October of 2001, everything fell together for Bob when he dusted of his project and began a full frame-off restoration of the Panther. Restoration work was completed in May of 2002. Shown here, the black and gold treatment really shows off the beauty of the camaro's lines and styling. Under the skin breaths the original heart of the 1960's Chevrolet design team with some rather bold accents added by Gorries Chevrolet. Through Bob's research, he has learn that his car is truly "the rarest and most elusive camaros' on the street today. Bob says his car is the only one known to exist to-day with the remainder unaccounted for...are there any more out there?

1967 - 1969 Camaro Parts - The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the all Aluminum Monster Engine - Steves Camaro Parts

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the all Aluminum Monster Engine.

The ZL1 Engine was based on the regular Chevrolet 427 engine. 
However, instead of the regular iron-block and head L72 found in the regular 427 engine, the ZL1 sported aluminum heads and the first aluminum block ever made by Chevrolet. 

It shared the L88 aluminum head/iron block's engine rating of 430bhp but made closer to 500bhp -- making it probably the most powerful engine Chevrolet ever offered to the public. And the engine weighed just 500 pounds, the same as Chevy's 327 small block.

The ZL-1 was made available only for 1969 under COPO 9560 and Chevrolet needed to install 50 copies to qualify the ZL1 Camaro for racing. 

Chevrolet eventually built 69 Camaros and 2 Corvettes with the ZL1 engine. ZL1 cars were blessed with a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty and were fully street legal. With factory exhausts and tires, ZL1 Camaros could turn low 13s; with headers and slicks, they could turn 11.6s @ 122mph. This was the fastest car ever produced by Chevrolet.

Performance had its price - $4,160us for the ZL1 engine alone pushing the price of the Camaro ZL1 to an unbelieveable $7,200 (about double the price of a SS Super Sport 396cid Camaro).

"Built by Dick Harrell" badge located in the glovebox of ZL1´s. 
Denoting the Gibb-prepped and tuned byDick Harrell who was known as "Mr. Chevrolet". 

The original ZL1 Camaro was brainstormed by Chevy dealer Fred Gibb. In 1969, Fred Gibb Chevrolet contacted the General Motors factory to produce the Camaro with the ZL1 all-aluminum 427 engine. The factory would agree to do it if Gibb placed a minumum order of 50 cars. Gibb initiated the order and this was the beginning of the COPO 9560 Camaro.

The first two ZL1 Camaros arrived at Gibb's dealership on a snowy evening in the last days of December 1968. The agreement GM made with Gibb was to have ZL1 cars available for sale prior to the end of 1968. The GM factory delivered as promised.

Unfortunately, Gibb had neglected to ask about the cost of these cars. The window sticker price was over $7,200. Needless to say, not many Camaro enthusiasts were eager to step up and pay a price that was almost twice the cost of the COPO 9561 cast iron 427. 

Due to this "sticker shock", negotiations transpired between Fred Gibb and the Chevrolet factory managers.

It was agreed that Gibb could return most of the cars. It was the first time in history that the factory took back cars from a dealership. The unsold cars were re-invoiced at the factory and redistributed to other high-performance Chevrolet dealerships.

In addition to the original 50 ZL1 Camaros shipped to Gibb Chevrolet, an additional 19 ZL1's were ordered through the 1969 production year by various other high-performance Chevrolet dealerships. 

This ended the 1969 ZL1 Camaro production run at a total of 69 cars. Fred Gibb Chevrolet did manage to sell 13 of the original 50 that he ordered.

Ratings: 427 V8 430bhp@5200rpm, 450lb-ft@4400rpm Installation: 1969 Chevrolet Camaros: 69 1969 Chevrolet Corvettes: 2 Total Production: 71

Steves Camaro Parts - 1969 Camaro Description

By 1969, the camaro was extremely popular.

Sales had steadily increased during the first years of thecamaro and set a new all-time high, thanks to its long production run (from September 1968 through February 1970).

The 1969 was given an updated look that was meaner than the grace­ful 1967-1968 models. 

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Description

On the front of the 1969 standard camaro was a grille that was compiled of 13 slender vertical moldings and 5 horizontal moldings to form a grid surrounded by a bright molding. A badge with the Chevrolet bow-tie emblem was in the center.

There were single round headlamps near both outer ends of the grille.
