Our 1967 Camaro RS/SS L78 coupe was purchased new by my father at Dick Shalla Chevrolet in Detroit. It is one of the first 396/375 L78 Camaros ever produced.
Car is originally white with a black interior, fold down rear seat, 4 speed transmission and vinyl top.
Dad raced the car at local tracks like Detroit Dragway, Windsor Dragway and MotorCity Dragway.
He sold the car less powertrain in 1971. The car changed hands one more time a few years after and was raced with a 12 point cage and small block until the early 90s.
Dad and I found the car entirely by accident on display at the 1989 Detroit Autorama. The third owner kept the original interior and every other little detail of the car in storage. Not too long after we bought the car back. The car has been kept 100% solid except the floors were replaced to return the shell back to a stock setup and the roll cage has been removed.
This 17 year restoration has gone as slow as they come, but we do plan to put the car on the road.
I operate a local enthusiast web site called MichiganClassics.com
We offer forums, full feature classifieds as well as other areas of interest, not to mention the comprehensive links page!

Put this car on ebay for a client this week:
1963 Chevy Impala SS
Located in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan
Ebay Link
This 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS was restored four years ago. Current color configuration is red on red.
Odometer was reset to zero…
Didn't take too many pictures this year. I finally took it easy and saw the sights. Was in Pontiac for the first time on Friday night, then in Ferndale and Royal Oak on Saturday. Good times!
