1967, 1968 or 1969 Camaro SS survivor
Seeing a photo of Grumpy Jenkins’ 1967 Camaro in another thread today stirred up something... the look of that simple no-nonsense ‘67 Camaro SS really means business. Oh to find a solid original 1967 Camaro SS survivor and drop a 427 into it! I had a nice Tahoe Turquoise ‘67 SS/RS with gorgeous patina, but it was too original (with original 350, AC, etc) to take it apart and stuff a 427 into. I posted a Grumpy Jenkins clone on this site many years ago... shoulda jumped on that myself.
I’ve often drooled over this photo of Joel Rosen taking this ‘68 Camaro out for a test drive and lifting the front wheels... amongst traffic! I had a chance to snatch up a look-alike 1968 Camaro SS 396 survivor several years ago, but I zigged when I should have zagged. :-[ I’ve often stared at photos of Joe Oldham (RIP) and his ‘69 Phase III Camaro before it was stolen. That car looks absolutely killer in triple black with a stinger hood, Keystone Klassics and knowing that a 427 lurks beneath the hood. Just thought I’d throw it out there that I’d like to find a 1967, 1968 or 1969 Camaro SS with original paint (I don’t like rust but I do like patina). Something that needs a drivetrain (or already has a 427?) that I could turn some wrenches on. No rush... always looking for the right car that speaks to me.

Nice straight Camaro gearheadmex and just the drivetrain too!
Thanks for your post, but I'm set on finding a Camaro that still wears its original factory paint, stripes, etc. Something more like this Camaro SS...

I have a '69 Z survivor. Scored a high Legend at MCACN a couple of years ago.
Rallye Green, white stripes, flat hood. Great car. Ooops! Sorry, I just noticed you want an SS. Last edited by RS_COPO_Canuck; 11-18-2020 at 04:32 PM.

BTW Jim that is a fantastic car! Looks like Mopar guru Frank Badalson was converted to a Chevrolet lover. His smile says it all.... Are you still looking for tires?
