Zedder (Mark Kane's) 1967 RS SS350 !

[Xplantdad]

Back in March of this year, I came across this car on ebay. I reached out to the owner to get more info and he sent me an inspection report that Jerry MacNeish completed in 2012. I noticed that the report was done for one of my car friends, Chris Tucker. It turned out that Chris restored the car. Anyway, the seller wanted a pretty steep price for a small block car, so I didn’t bother making an offer even though I really liked the car. Fast forward to last weekend and while I am talking to Chris on the phone, I mentioned his old Red SS. He filled me in on the restoration and a little history on the car. He said that it was the most rust-free Camaro that he had done and that the under-carriage and components were virtually pit free. I mentioned how much I liked it and he assured me it would meet my expectations should I go after it.



Chris had mentioned that the car had been on the Cover of Hemmings, so I thought that the owner might not know that and might be interested in locating a copy. I emailed him and told him and he responded back that he actually had a copy of the magazine and he mentioned that he was really motivated to sell the car. I asked him to give me his bottom line on the car and a few hours later we had a deal!

It’s a 1967 RS SS350 in Bolero Red with Parchment Deluxe interior, M20 4 speed, 3.31 posi rearend, tinted windshield, fold down rear seat, console with gauges, power disc brakes, power steering, AM radio, rear antenna, front and rear bumper guards and interior décor package. The drive-train is original and verified in the report and the car scored 984 out of 1000 at the Camaro Nationals Bow Tie class and was also Legends judged and won an AACA Senior 1st place prize.



I don’t know much about the history other than that it was delivered new to Courtesy Chevrolet in Medford, Oregon and Chris found it in Las Vegas in the early 2000’s. The car has travelled 1,200 miles since its restoration and looks like it hasn’t traveled 100! I am thrilled to be the new owner after not owning a ‘67 since 2004.





The plan is to ship it up here and have Fastco give it a quick once over before bringing it home and driving it to a cruise night every once in a while. Many thanks to Chris Tucker for his help in pushing me off the ledge on this one!

Congratulations Mark, what a stunning car and love the color and parchment interior.

:beers:

AWESOME. Poster Car for 67 Nice

[napa68]

Lovely!

[1967 4K]

Nice looking ride Mark. Great color combo. Thanks for sharing the pics.

[big gear head]

Sweet!

[TimG]

I can't imagine taking delivery of that car in 1967, that must have attracted some attention on the road.

[Zedder]

Thanks Guys! I’ve looked for a nice 67 for a long time and always came up short. I’m really happy with this one and the seller has been great to work with.

[1967Z28]

Congratulations, Mark. That is a beautiful car and I love the parchment interior. Really sharp combo.

[RPOLS3]

Stunning

[fastco]

Red over Parchment are the perfect colours for this car!! Can't wait to see it in person.

[NorCam]

Nice find Mark. Congrats on your recent purchase of a 67

----That is one gorgeous 67!......Bill S

[mockingbird812]

Beautiful car! What an eye-catcher!!! Well done and CONGRATS Mark! :biggthumpup:

[Zedder]

Thanks!

[luv2sixty9]

Worth the wait....2004????? wow

[Zedder]

Yep...other cars since then, but not a Camaro!

[6t7 camaro]

Mark, not only was this car on the cover of Hemmings Motor News, it was also the car used in the December 2011 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines for their ‘67-‘69 Camaros buyer’s guide article. Complete with an “Owner’s View” story from Christopher Tucker.

[Zedder]

Thanks Dave. I just picked up a copy on eBay...

[6t7 camaro]

There you go!

[BillD]

Absolutely beautiful car!! Congratulations.

[BJCHEV396]

Wow,congrats Mark!!

[JoeC]

congratulations on your new 67

When you think about it, there were too many great Camaros to comprehend in 1967.
It was Camaro overload

The SS 350 Camaro never got the attention it deserved as the SS 396 and Z/28 stole the limelight

That 350 Chevy was a great engine that went on to power millions of cars and trucks for the next 50 years

[Jonesy]

Wow what a super nice car!! Congrats on pursuing it and buying it.

[Futura]

It just doesn't get any better than this 67. It's checked off all the boxes for me, especially the parchment interior. Congratulations on living the dream!

[Zedder]

Thanks guys!

[Zedder]

Got confirmation that all is good with the Customs broker and Shipping company, so it should be here in a few weeks! Paul (Fastco) has offered to receive the car from the shipper to save me a tow to his shop. Thanks again, Paul!

[danachevroletfor1967]

I love your new car Mark. I really like the red exterior with white stripe and interior. I've always liked white interiors even though I've never had one and they must be a pain to keep clean. Congrats on your purchase.

[Zedder]

Thanks Mario! I probably would have picked black interior if I was buying the car new myself, but I do love the way this car looks.

[Zedder]

[Zedder]

Car was picked up this morning!

[BJCHEV396]

How long before you get it Mark?You must be anxious,lol.I've used TFX before and they are great!

[Zedder]

Hey Bill. They said it should be in Toronto on Tuesday, so I expect it a day or two later. Paul is going to receive the car for me and safety it, so I’ll need to reach out to him to let him know!

[Xplantdad]

Very cool. Thanks for the additional pics!

[Zedder]

Thanks Bruce!

[Zedder]

Now at a top secret location in Ontario :)

[Zedder]

Temporarily addressed the leaky heater core by caping the heater hose fittings :)

[Zedder]

Sorry for the sideways pics. I rotated them in editor and they still come out sideways on this site?

[PeteLeathersac]

Lookin' good Mark!

Thanks Pete!

[Zedder]

I never missed not having a tilt wheel when I was younger 😀

[Zedder]

Can anyone tell me what the hell I am doing wrong when posting pics! Taken with an iPhone. They turn sideways on this site only...even after I rotate them in editor?

[PeteLeathersac]

If loading pics you've saved as 90 out, which way do they show in the preview?
Can you take a screen shot then try posing it instead of the file pic?
:hmmm:

[markjohnson]

Fix the heater core ASAP and hook it up again but PLEASE get rid of those rubber caps. In an ironically similar situation, I blew the end off from one of those rubber caps & the resulting mess was weeks of clean-up work from slimy coolant over an entire carefully detailed engine compartment! Never again!!!

[1967 4K]

How about a few pics of the Panhead?

[Zedder]

I’ll give preview a try Pete. Thanks for rotating my pic!

The heater core is next year’s project. I just stuck those caps on to get some shakedown miles on it.

Here is the 65 Pan. Belleville Police Special documented with old titles and newspaper articles. Just sold it to try and get my old 65 back.

[Zedder]

Since my carb decided to puke gas all over the intake, I spent the afternoon giving the car a quick polish so it will look good going to the shop on a flat bed 😀

[Zedder]

Sorry for the tilted pics. If I rotate them before posting, they post rotated! I give up!!!

[Too Many Projects]

Seems many phone cameras do that, especially Iphones. I just use my old fashioned Sony camera to avoid the hassle.
Did you get the carb to stop puking gas ?

[Zedder]

No, my Son is away for the weekend and I need him to watch the carb while I crank it over. Thanks for the tip though! I’ll let you know if it works…

You can also crop the top or bottom of your pics on the iPhone so they are more horizontally rectangular before posting.

[Zedder]

Thanks. I’m going to try square photos also. This is the only site where this happens to me.

[Zedder]

Trying square photos…

Yahoo!

[touspude]

The bike and the SS are both gorgeous!

[olredalert]

----That's the 1st time I have ever seen that Chevrolet Buffalo sticker anywhere, much less on a pumpkin. What a great 67!.....Bill S

[Zedder]

In case anyone was wondering what the fold down seat is for 😀

[Zedder]

Off to Paul’s shop to sort out the carb problem, install new red lines, replace the heater core and a few other odds and ends. Thanks to Mike from Abrams who loaded it up without issue.

[Zedder]

Got the car back from Paul’s on Friday and took it out for a quick spin today. The new Coker’s make a huge difference! Turns out, the heater core was ok. The hose had a tiny crack in it that leaked only under higher RPMs and shot into the heater box! New hoses, oil change, fuel filter etc. And she is good to go. Thanks Paul!

[BJCHEV396]

Lookin good Mark! What size are your new redline tires? I need new fronts but everywhere I look they are back ordered in my size.

[napa68]

Looks great Mark!!

Tim

[Zedder]

Thanks Guys!

They are D70-14. Try Coker direct. Everyone else seems to be out of stock.

[fastco]

This is the second time we've had the pleasure of doing maintenance/upgrades on this awesome car!! Mark is a great car car as well!

[Zedder]

Thanks Paul!

My daughter and I took some video of the car on the weekend…

[Woodrock]

Very nice car!

[Chuck_Burg]

Great looking 67 Mark! Thank you for posting the video

[Zedder]

Thanks guys! I actually enjoyed watching the videos my daughter took myself! You never really get to enjoy what your car looks like driving down the road…at least I didn’t until now!

[Calix Lee]

The clip is short but I can see how excited you are the moment you started this classic car. Congratulations on this successful build.

[Zedder]

Thanks, but I can’t take credit for the build. It was completed 12 years ago by Chris Tucker. I’m still getting used to starting this one. I always want to give it more gas than it needs!

[1967 4K]

Lookin good Mark.

[69VN]

All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!

Sal

[Zedder]

Thanks again guys! As some of you know, I’ve been working on a couple of potential deals and one appears to be going to happen. I don’t want to say more than that at this time, but my SS will be on Bring-a-Trailer in a few weeks. The reserve will be about $2,000 less than I have in it.

[napa68]

Here is the link to Mark's killer car:biggthumpup:

From Monroe Blue to Chevy Grey in a couple of hours! If anyone local to Oakville needs some grey shock paint I have about 1/2 a can left that is free for the taking.

[olredalert]

----Save it for touch-ups, Mark!....Bill S

[1967 4K]

Mark, I did the same thing, from Gabriel white to Chevy gray. You'll see a big difference in the way your car handles.

Richard

[Zedder]

Thanks Guys.

Those repop spirals suck!!!

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Those repop shocks are only good for showing, not driving...

[Zedder]

Cleaned the engine bay up a bit. Looks like I’ll be putting it away for the winter this weekend. No time to get the new parts installed. Put the 993 away last weekend…

[Zedder]

Clean…

[Zedder]

Found a cool pic of my car at a show in 2018…

Sorry, no matter how I rotate it, it comes up like this!

[Too Many Projects]

Winterfest Charity Show in Sioux Falls, SD. I've heard it's a good show, but I've never been as it's during the time of year we get out of the cold and go south for a couple weeks.

Closing the loop on this one guys as the car is sold (funds received). Another member is the new owner and the car is heading down to Texas.

[1967Z28]

Congrats on the sale, Mark. That sure seemed like a nice car.

[Zedder]

Thanks Jon. It really is. Every time I went out to the garage this week and saw it I nearly changed my mind!

[BJCHEV396]

Congrats Mark.

[Zedder]

Thanks BJ!

[Xplantdad]

Congrats to both of you!!!:beers:

[Zedder]

Thanks Bruce!

[AnthonyS]

You even changed your avatar!

[Zedder]

Good eye Anthony! No muscle in the garage now (at least not that I own), so I had to change it up!

Look forward to seeing the red 67 L78 car and avatar! Congrats on the sale....

[Zedder]

Thanks Steve. I'm hopeful for the L78, but not holding my breath given my lack of success at trying to get a deal done since 2006!

[Zedder]

Money finally transferred on my SS350 this morning, so the deal is done! Thanks for the interest.
