Title: German 1967 Camaro
Post by: psy4s on February 03, 2023, 03:47:11 AM: (http://<a href="https://app.photobucket.com/u/psy4s/a/665c0c8e-045c-46b2-b3b0-06795aa8917d/p/818b2a8f-3452-4710-9b72-0811dc18287c" target="_blank"><img src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v194/psy4s/FullSizeRender_84FTfarMCMjkMqJdGoAHf9.jpg" border="0" alt="FullSizeRender"/></a>)

This is my German 1967 Camaro. It is an enigma wrapped in a contradiction.
1. There isn’t the American style VIN on the door frame which isn’t uncommon for European cars.
2. It is a 4P car which in this case meant an L30/M20 car. 327hp with 4bbl, 4 speed, and 12 bolt rear with single traction bar.
3. It has the 200kph speedometer with Deluxe interior and console gauges
4. The body was originally from Norwood Ohio. The original engine on the German papers is a KL Engine which should be an impala 327.
The car was restored as an SS because of the 4P on the trim tag but it was actually an L30/M20. It spent its life as a race car so when I got it in 1986 it was basically a shell full of dreams.
5. There are front marker lamps. These were not on the American 1967 Camaro

greetings from very close to you. I live between Oppenheim and Alzey ;-)

I love the before pics with the Opel Manta/Ascona A widebodykit. Very unique ;-)

Would be interested to know how you got those rims legalized in Germany.

Post by: Jon Mello on January 01, 2024, 06:30:44 PM: I'm confident this car was road raced in Europe in the late '60s and is the car in the attached photo. This was based on the front brakes and other modifications found on the car prior to restoration.

Post by: Jon Mello on January 03, 2024, 12:58:48 AM: The '67 Penske Camaro that went to Europe after the '67 season had a full roll cage in it and was painted blue. The car above has no roll cage, not even a roll bar. I think it still has the rear seat in it which some racing in Europe had as a requirement.
