You have a 68 that could have the same stance?!

Why would that be ? The M22 was available in the Chevelles in '66 and '67. Why would it not be available in a Camaro ?

It wasn’t available as an option in Camaro until 1968.

That seems odd, that GM would not allow it in the Camaro with the L78 option.

TT pic
 
I’ve asked for a close up pic of the TT? Can anyone else make it out?
M22 not available in 67 Camaro that I know of.

First thing I noticed when scrolling through the auction pics.

I’m really not feeling that $170,000 price.

From Colvin's "by the numbers" book on 65-69 models (page 282) speaking specifically to the M22 in 67 MY:

"Although the M22 was available on the Passenger, Chevelle, and Corvette, Chevrolet accumulative production reports show that no Passenger or Chevelle models were produced. Only 20 L88 427/430 HP Corvettes were produced with the M22."

I realize some new info may have been uncovered since the book came out, but that quote would indicate it was not even available in a Camaro. Would also indicate no Chevelle was built with an M22, even though it was available.

I am with you. Maybe if it were a Jenkins car or something like that. NOM; and 22 miles means nothing to me given that the speedo was unhooked at some point. Besides, does it matter how many miles on a restored car?

Don't want to start trashing the car. Very cool for what it is.

It is sharp. No spoilers!

THAT I will question. I thought there were documented '66 and 67 Chevelles with M22's...:hmmm:
