Trans-Am Camaros / Searching for information about 67 Camaro raced in Europe

« on: February 14, 2023, 02:57:48 PM »

My 67 has no paper trail. I bought it in Mainz Germany from a defunked race team Whos owner was moving to the US. I bought it January 28th 1986. The day the Challenger was lost. The story is that it worked as a race car from August 67 till just before I bought it but lay in disrepair till I saved it from the crusher. I will list some pictures of the modifications done to the car. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
The car is a 1968 L30M20 shipped to Germany through Rosenthal Chevrolet in Arlington VA. It was one of two cars the team owned.
 The modifications were in the brakes, suspension, dash, and of course a cage was installed. Some well thought out, some not so much.
The chassis (vin) number is 124377N238556, the other car was 124377N247353. The numbers are stamped on the German Import tag as well as two places mechanically stamped into the sub frame. On the right side.

Foreign Camaros / German 1967 Camaro

« on: February 03, 2023, 03:47:11 AM »

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
