Could you get a m22 in a 67 L7 camaro? I think not.

Did that color become Butternut Yellow in '68? Is this color Capri cream yellow or antique white in person?

Butternut Yellow is definitely more yellow than Capri Cream. A guy in our local Camaro club has a Capri Cream '67 and it's very light next to a butternut car.

Why would that be ? The M22 was available in the Chevelles in '66 and '67. Why would it not be available in a Camaro ?

It wasn’t available as an option in Camaro until 1968.

Judging by my doors that still has some original paint, I would say it looks like Antique White. The contrast with a white top should look good one day!

From Colvin's "by the numbers" book on 65-69 models (page 282) speaking specifically to the M22 in 67 MY:

"Although the M22 was available on the Passenger, Chevelle, and Corvette, Chevrolet accumulative production reports show that no Passenger or Chevelle models were produced. Only 20 L88 427/430 HP Corvettes were produced with the M22."

I realize some new info may have been uncovered since the book came out, but that quote would indicate it was not even available in a Camaro. Would also indicate no Chevelle was built with an M22, even though it was available.

THAT I will question. I thought there were documented '66 and 67 Chevelles with M22's...

there are a number of items that are incorrect just under the hood of that car. Not picking at it but for that price it should be right
