...you had the insight to keep the ol' cammer
They have make quite a comeback in recent years.

Your rims may be correct with the gold paint, do you know if your 67' had dogdish caps?

This Ol' 67' cammer has (hard to see) Gold rims/wheel with DD caps.


PS,
Didn't I see that wagon for sale sometime back?

I thought I would post some pics of my 67 GTO going under a full restoration.
I have own this car since 1982 when I was in high school. I am he third owner and it was bought locally new. As I got older and graduated I wanted to be a big shot so I bought a new car and left this sitting.
The car always ran great and I loved this car. I have restored so many cars but never got around to this one so it was time I gave the car the respect it deserves.
The car has a solid trunk. Floors looked solid but has pin holes. No rust around front or rear windows
The car has been disassm. New floor installed, L/S wheel well quarter was piece patched from a new quarter panel due to prior accident from original owner in the early 70's. R/S outer wheel well and trunk extention replaced due to same accident. New NOS tail light panel installed due to pin holes aound the tail lights.
I will post more pics as the work progresses. I decided to have a local shop do the full restoration due to the fact that now I am older with a family and have no time do do this myself.

RedDirtRoad:

Is that your car before the body off? The more i see the ralley 1 wheels the more i want them. Will you be painting the same color and replacing the vinyl roof?

[kate`s67gto]

One of mine;

[RedDirtRoad]

The pic of the car I have in my post is actually a car I saw on ebay for sale..My car is identical to it. It came with rally I's, Silverglaze met paint, black vinyl roof. I was disappointed I never took a pic before I started to disassm it so I used that pic just as a reference. I restored many A bodies, GTO's and Chevelles. I know these cars like the back of my hand.. I am sure there are others that still know more then me. I know enought to be dangerous!
I included a pic of where he car was bought new, 15 miles from my home.

Here's photo of my 66 Tempest Sprint Sports Coupe Post back in the day. Photo was taken in August 1968. I bought the car new in May 1966 after waiting 2 months for it. 3:55 Saft-T-Track, 3 speed, AM radio, seat topper, glove box light and trunk light. That was it. Ran low 15's at Drag Way 42 and Thompson Speedway. Used to really upset the 283 Chey guys to get beat by a "6". Later in 1968 head problems and the fact it was out of warranty, lead to the installation of a 67 GTO 400 Ram Air III with a 65 tri power and a Muncie 4 speed. Then the fun on the street really began. Sold it in 1970 for $650, at that time the OHC-6 was long gone and the car had about 90,000 miles on it.

My 67 Lemans covert, haven't in the forum for a few years. Been working on a 58 Chevy 2dr. wagon the last coupe years. This is the pic that was in the Goodguys mag. back in 06 or 05.

[IOWA552SLOW]

still new on posting pics, plus can't get to them at work. so instead heres the link to a few i have at photobucket. need to get the good clean car pics on yet. but you will get the idea.
67 LeMans 326 3sp on the floor. numbers matching car.

Seen a barn door in the ditch as a forsale sign on my home one day.
stopped that night and bought the car the next day. all i have done is put different
wheels and tires. and lowered the car back to stock height. the car has camaro front spring to stiffen the front up with a 1" drop. I am the third owner.

the purple car is it modern cousin. 04 GTO 6 speed. (I still prefer to drive the '67)

Nice car...both of them.

On photobucket, click on the image, another screen will come up. On the far right hand side at the bottom, click that option (it'll say to copy this photo onto a website forum or whatever) then right click that here...and you're good to go. Hope that helps...

Thanks for the complement and the help.

Iowa, that's a nice looking 66 rear bumper- if you decide to put a correct 67 bumper on I might be interested in that one...

And welcome to the forums!

And welcome to the forums!

cant take credit for it, but i get way to many remarks about the exhaust to get rid of it.
however, i do have the reverse lights (lens, gaskets, housings) for the bumper.
previous owner did all the body work on it. i just rebuild the suspension and steering.

67Lam,
Showing that fender emblem and then whats under the hood is just wrong!
Tell me you still have the OHC?

That droptop is just begging for a SPRINT OHC

Actually, the 455 has been begging for a 535.....so I capitulated......it's coming this spring

The car was actually featured in Smoke Signals back in 84 or 85......it was an original owner car back then.....

It still had the original 1-bbl OHC engine and three on the tree when I bought it in 2006.....but the local boneyard owner came and got the engine after I told him he could have it for hauling it away... I think I may still have the original carb and air cleaner, but that's about it..............

Let's see, I've added:

console floor shift
floor shift tilt column
rally gages
disc brakes with alum. front calipers
11" drums in rear
Hydroboost
cruise control
12:1 steering ratio
tubular a-arms
12-bolt
th-400 with GV overdrive
vacuum gage
lighted ign. switch (that's important)
in-your-face-piss-off-oncoming-drivers blue xenon 100W halogen headlamps
rally II's
455, soon to be 535

Guess I've pretty much pimped it out.....

Does your car (sorta) match the colour of your house?

[ronniegoodbear]

They say go green, it's good for the planet. So green I go.
