1967 Camaro 4K

[1969L89]

I remember seeing this car on Ebay a few years back and I think a member here bought it. Does anyone know what ever happened to it? I loved the sellers, original owner, Ebay write up and stories about the car.

"Can I have it?"

Did I tell you I bought an NOS cage identical to the one in this car? It's going in my '68 L78.

My vintage Hurst conversion doesn't have the same stick. Could it have been a later issue, or changed along the way ?

It’s a later issue. A while back I posted comparison pics of both shifters...I’ll have to dig up the post.

[1969L89]

Shaun, any more updates or pics of the car?

I went to Hurst's website and found the shifter and the stick looks like the same as mine. Couldn't find one like the pics. Closest one is a replacement for '69 shifter.
I WAS surprised to see they still sell the install kit with the mount bracket. I was of the understanding they weren't available, so the original ones sold years ago were scarce...:dunno:

[scuncio]

Yes, I believe hurst discontinued the early style shifter in 69.

[JoeC]

The early 67-68 Hurst shifter has a welded 2 piece neck and a different chrome stick

the sec design uses a stamped steel 1 piece neck and a 4106 chrome stick with large Hurst letters , then the 4106 chrome stick was changed to small Hurst letters used today

[Too Many Projects]

Thanks !! That is quite the different stick, alright.

It appears the '69 stick is about as close to that as I can get. I've never driven the car with the 4 speed, except to load and unload from my trailer when we moved, but it does seem to be rather tall and forward when sitting in the seat.
The vid of Grumpy shifting his '67 seems to be that stick too. I like how it pulls back further.

Now back to the subject of the original post, any progress on the subject car ?

Still collecting parts, original engine should be on the dyno any day now, trans is done.

Shaun, what are your plans for the body?

[Maxsg1973]

Who is doing the engine? Are they in phoenix?

[scuncio]

Is that some sort of fresh air intake cut into the header panel?

The engine is being done by Mark Jones of Vortec pro in Colorado Springs, Co.

Thought I'd start with a 6 inch fiberglass cowl hood then add some fender flares for the 395/35/24 tires and maybe a sunroof for extra ventilation, still wavering on the type of trunk lid aero package, kinda like the old porsche whale tails. :biggthumpup:
