Nice car...but the price!

I bet this car is exceptional, but holy cow! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Seen this car on eBay before with the high asking bid and exact same photos dated 1999. Nice looker though!

[agtw31]

he's asking $185k for the car,and doesnt have a computer..

amazing.

[king_midas]

I was just copying the link to post here; I just got done wiping my eyes from crying with laughter.

Let's put this in perspective. For that money, you're almost to a less-than-perfect 300SL, or a mid-60's Ferrari GT, or maybe a significant Porsche. In other words, hand-built, low production automobiles that the discriminating buyer would want. Either way, you're definitely in '67 big block territory, and could have a matching small-block car to go along with for the wife...

This is the stupidest thing that I've seen yet... Forget all the cloning and/or junk that people over-pay for; this one is the cream.

For $185K, that better come with a complimentary mullet...

[PeteLeathersac]

Appears like a really nice car but personally I'd be considering the Canadian documented L72 Copo NOM car on eBay right now at the $175,000 reserve before this car! .

I can't help but wonder why this guy lays the auction out using the word original to describe some items but not others....ie. 'original Purchase contract' but no original word when describing Pop etc? .
If all else is true I can't see why he didn't specify the engine as 'the original' either...but hey, he didn't even include a pic of the trim tag so who know where he's at? .
Maybe a chance when everyone's wound up at the BJ etc. but big dough to reach for on eBoy? .
Nice car though....good luck! .

Anyone else notice the missing radius rod?
Rear has the bracket, but no rod is installed.
Bidders should check for the floor bracket.
So the car would be a little less than "100% original in every way except the battery."

[Jeff H]

This is the low mileage car that the old USCC did a giveaway with one year. I think they used it for research purposes first though.

I thought I read on the CRG site that '67 SS 350 cars didn't always get the bar. The bracket was on the axle tube but no bar. I think the same was true for 327/275hp/manual trans '67 Camaros. Going from memory so I could be mistaken.

[nuch_ss396]

The car is nice to be sure. But the price! FA-GET-ABOUT-IT! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thats what I'm thinking. 1992 Nat'ls in StLouis if I remember correctly.

[Denis]

Majority of Powerglide SS 350 cars did not get the bar.

[70 copo]

Car is 100% ligit, and was used for tech articles, and videos on 1st generation detailing. Was also the USCC Give away car. Car is a time capsule. 185? It is possible but I doubt it on E-Bay. Barrett-Jackson is the place for this car.

[king_midas]

If $185K is too much, how about this crazy red-balls price:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Cama...1QQcmdZViewItem

Whew, where's the free mullet? That's a very expensive 16-second car...

[SSJunkie68-69]

This time capsule car had been on Ebay fairly regularly about 3-4 years ago with virtually no real activity on it. It would pop up about 4 times a year and the price then was about $110K if I recall. At that time it was crazy money and today it still is for that particular car.

Nice car but for that money you could get a rarer first generation Camaro.

Don't get me wrong, I hope he gets it because my 1969 L89 has even fewer miles on it than this car, would increase accordingly as I am sure a lot of other peoples rides on this site would. Then I could walk in, with a big old Sh%* Eating Grin on my face, and proudly tell my lovely bride that no, I had not lost my mind in getting the 69 after all.

I did let her drive it the other day for the first time since having it for nearly two years. She stepped on the gas and away we went. The look on her face as she was burning up the fossil fuel was one I will remember for a long time. Afterwards she told me to start calling her Daisy Duke. Her next comment was she never knew how fast that car is and I need to be careful when driving it. Now only if I can find a pair of cut off jeans for her..........look out!

I believe the radius rod was reserved for all big block cars, SS350 4-speed cars, and 327-275 horse 4-speed cars.

[budnate]

early cars did not have the bar, GM did not realize how bad the problem was until the kicked some out for sale...cant recall exactly but I think it was the third week of Dec?? they started showing up...I think CRG has it pinned down for a exact date.

[Steve Shauger]

There was a retrofit kit for early cars requiring the bar. I believe clamped on to the axle.

[nuch_ss396]

Steve,

I've never seen one of these "clamped type" kits installed.
Got any documentation ( images ) you can share on that? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[Denis]

Here's the service bulletin you may be thinking of:

Service Bulletin 67-T-30 May 12, 1967 (http://www.67z28.net/radiusrod/ulthm.htm)

[Zedder]

As Denis posted, they were a welded retrofit and not clamped. One of my old SS's had a service receipt for the retrofit in the glove box...

[Steve Shauger]

My bad regarding retrofit axel bracket. It was welded on at the dealerships. I must have it mixed up with another retrofit.

[king_midas]

axel... like in rose? Welded yes. Welcome to the jungle, no. axle bracket would only make this powerslide equipped ca-macho even slower due to weight gain....

[camarojoe]

If you want to get technical, its Axl Rose, not Axel. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

[Xplantdad]

Yep, you're right...but it IS Axel Foley, right?

From what I remember...Guns & Roses got their name from two bands...the LA GUNS and the Hollywood Roses...

AXL got his name froma band he was in...Ironically called A.X.L. His real name is William Bruce Bailey (William Rose). Enough of the GNR trivia... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Sue's 12D car (12/24 Protecto-Plate delivery date) has the bracket..

If the car did not have a posi rear, it did not get the rod.
So all cars with an open 10 bolt did not get one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Would that be a true statement for the 1967 Camaro model year only,meaning by 1968,even the open 10 bolts received them?

[Stefano]

'68 and newer performance applications used Multi Leafs to cure the problem.

[Mr70]

Thanks Stefano.

I'm not aware of any 10-bolt applications receiving the radius rod, all 1967 Z28s and SS cars (and the L30/M20 cars by December 66) were equipped with 12-bolt differentials.

Do you mean that all open 12-bolt diffs did not get rods, and all posi 12-bolts did get them?

-Sam

[427TJ]

My original, unrestored '67 396/auto RS/SS Camaro has an open 3:07 12-bolt and the round traction bar.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, if it had a 12 bolt it got a radius rod. Posi or not it got one. The round bar came out first and was found on both auto's and manual cars. After the sguare bar came out it went on the manual cars. There are early manual cars that have the round rod.
