Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced February 23, 1967, the same model year as GM’s Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. These are highly sought-after convertibles when in great condition. This one gets it’s power from its original 350ci, coupled with a 4-speed Hurst shifter (new clutch) and proper rear-end that is geared to 3.23. That puts plenty of power to the pavement while making it nice to drive down the freeway too. It is badged as a 400ci equipped with the “Ram Air” style hood with an exterior hood tachometer to give it a custom H.O look. The engine looks great with its chrome air cleaner, head covers and dual exhaust tips. It is all tuned and ready to go! The outside of the car has an excellent, show quality paint job done in a deep burgundy color with flake. The black power top is in good condition with no leaks, a brand new boot cover and all the chrome/emblems/glass on the car are in excellent shape. It sits on like new radial tires and PMC rally wheels. The power brakes give it plenty of stopping control and just completes the whole package making this car a treat to drive! Inside you will find freshly covered black vinyl seats, newer carpet and all the door panels, dash and trim are in great condition. The original radio is not working but there is a Audiovox AM/FM/Cassette in the glove box which could be easily replaced with a Bluetooth unit at our wholesale cost if so desired. SOLD
