Recent History

The history prior to 2008 is unknown, ncluding who restored the car and the age of the restoration. This is in large part due to the fact that it was purchased in its current condition (by a friend of mine) at a 2008 Barrett Jackson auction without the benefit of dialogue between the seller and the buyer ……which is the norm for auctions.

Do to this lack of a history hand-off, he mileage on the restoration and driveline are also unknown. My educated GUESS based on a close inspection of this car is that it has been driven very little since its restoration. The odometer shows 83k, hich could be original for the car but I have no way to verify this (and due to the age of the car it will be sold as mileage exempt).

There is simply very little observable evidence of wear or usage. The friend who purchased this car at the BJ auction put it in his building with the rest of his collection and during the last eight years of his ownership has driven it less than 100 miles. What is obvious is that this is a very original car that at some point benefited from a quality freshening up and has been pampered from that point until now.

Numbers, astings & Date codes

This car appears to have most of its original components all the way down to the California Smog Equipment.The only noted exception is the changing of the transmission from a automatic to a manual. The transmission currently in the car is a PERIOD CORRECT 1967 Munci 4-Speed tranny with a February 5th 1967 code P7B05. However, ccording to the stamp on the engine pad, his car would have originally come with a Turbo 400 automatic tranny.

The motor has a matching vin# stamped on the pad (TOI31EV 7Z136300) as well as a correct block casting of #3902406 and A187 date code which translates to Jan 18th, 967. I am not an expert on vin stamps and make no claims as to the authenticity of the block stamping on this car, owever I am told that it is not unusual for 1967 Fremont California cars to have their last three digits to be a different font size and to have the third to last digit partially stamped over like it appears on this block. There are known documented examples of exactly this as well as expert confirmation of these 1967 Fremont stampings. You be the judge, r hire a expert if this is critical for you.

Rearend

The "12-bolt" rearend is stamped CY 03 23 which is a 3:07 gear dated March 23, 967 which would be correct for the car.

Performance & Condition

It drives much like it would have the day it was new. It accelerates, teers and stops like a quality “stock original” should. I have found it to be easy to start, asy to shift, asy to clutch and easy to drive in general with the Power Steering and Power Brakes. Other than the clock, verything seems to be working fine including the original AmFm radio. I am amazed by the fact that the AC is still blowing cold, lthough I am not sure it would cool the entire cabin on a really hot day or how long the current charge might last. The windows go up and down nicely and mate well with each other and the top.

Paint & body

WOW is what I hear most when people see this car!

The car is laser straight and appears to have its original sheet metal including the “138 stamped” rear quarter panels. The floor appears to be original as well. The lines, it and finish are all within factory specs. The paint of course is much nicer than the factory paint. The paint has a high gloss with that deep wet highly reflective look. It is obvious that this was a high dollar quality job when originally done. The paint remains show quality, owever like most cars once perfect, t now has a few minor flaws. I took photos of the 4 minor issues I found …. they are “close up shots” of minor imperfections that most people would never even mention, et alone highlight in close up pictures. These minor blemishes in no way detract from the over all fantastic paint job which is much nicer than the vast majority out there.

Simply put, his is one of the most beautiful ’67 Super Sports I have ever seen. I absolutely love the color, specially in full sunlight where it comes alive. Tahoe Turquoise turns heads

The interior

This may be the nicest original interior I have ever seen in any 1967 model car. While the carpet and dash pad appear to have been replaced, verything else appears to be original and in mint condition.

The vinyl top

The vinyl top is also very nice and in my opinion completes the LOOK on a 67 Chevelle. From inside the trunk area looking up beneath the rear glass the metal looks to be in great shape. I did not see any of the issues that sometimes go with vinyl top cars. I guess this is why people love California cars.

The Engine Bay and Trunk

Both are bone stock in appearance and are both are presented very well. The engine bay included the original style California Smog Equipment which collectors and investors value.

The tires

The tires are new BF Goodrich radial REDLINES with less than 50 miles. Should you prefer the original type “bias-ply” redlines, set comes with the car.

Everything else.

The glass, hrome and stainless are all very nice. The undercarriage is clean but not detailed or restored for showing with mirrors. The exhaust system and gas tank were replaced presumably when the restoration work was done.

This is a very nice vehicle. However, here is no such thing as a "PERFECT" vehicle...especially when dealing with vintage vehicles. This is not a new vehicle; it is decades old.
