Some of the early 67 L6 cars didn't come with sway bars!

I thought all Convertibles had sway bars regardless of engine or build date? , my 6cyl convertible is April build date and it does have factory sway bar. My 67 327 is February build with exact same sway bar.

You have to order the clone option to get AC in your 69 Z28.

I have both 67 6 cylinder convertible and 67 327 V8 convertible…..6 cylinder car most definitely handles better (it actually is a surprisingly significant difference) both cars have same size front sway bar.

With all the options on this this car, isn’t it odd that it does not have power steering or power brakes?
It was recommended that cars with factory AC get power steering but not mandatory.
So no power steering, it has a two grove alternator pulley.

As a owner of both First gen Camaros, and a corvette……in many cases corvettes are and were not driven as every day cars when new compared to early Camaro’s that were driven pretty much as an every day car.
More of the original owners for nCorvettes treated them more like specialty cars and they were often not driven in bad weather, also many more owners were older more mature drivers. Thats just my reasoning why more Corvettes held on to their original drive train components.

That one doesn’t have correct tabs like original 1967 on rear inside seam. Also The aftermarket people make them  all with spoiler holes.

A correct truck lid is not made aftermarket, it would have to be a used one

That’s close to the correct trunk lid for 1967 with that build month, they are putting on a new roof skin as well

To rent truck and trailer to haul yourself one way with your fuel expenses would cost more than  $1300. If you own truck it would be well worth just renting trailer, however if you need to rent both one way you could get it shipped cheaper by a trucking company.

I had a 1967 camaro shipped from Washington state to North Carolina for $2,100 less then 2 months ago. Independent drivers bid on them if there going to certain areas with other cars on carriers and they want to fill there car haulers.

Anyone see any issues with work being done, or does it look respectable?
