Re: 427 TJ's Butternut Beauty....
 

Sold my '55 and used some of the proceeds to have a 'refresh' done on the Camaro. New underpinnings front and rear, lower, Global West multi-leafs in back (1.25" lower), new 1' lower coils in front (slightly higher rate to match the leafs), Gardner "deep tone" exhaust (sounds great for a stock 396/325), Pertronix Igniter/recurve (by a pro on a Sun machine) and a full tune, front drum brakes fussed over so it now stops dead-straight, new trans seals and mount (cracked), new u-joints (bearings were dust), even got the horn working! I still had the horn button from my high school '67 Camaro (1979) so I popped that on there. It drives like a new car. Idles smoothly, low mild rumble, shifts smooth, nice and firm--not too firm--ride, excellent throttle response (for a 100K-plus mile L35). I wanted it lower and level and I think we achieved that. Now I can drive the heck out of it at a moment's notice and honk the horn all I want! Want to feel what a nice, tight, stock '67 L35 Camaro feels like? Stop by and I'll toss you the keys! My happy machine is doing its job! Happy to write the check for that. Engine/trans/diff upgrade is the winter project. (Putting the stock MZ engine and original Th-400 under the bench. It will still look stock when done but go through F70 Cokers at a higher rate...)

PS: Yes, I kept ALL of the stuff that came off the car. Coils still had the tags on them, leafs didn't.

Now you just need to put an LS engine in it...........

Re: 427 TJ's Butternut Beauty....
 

Leave the car the way it is and drive it.
Looks classy to me all stock.

Looks perfect! Love the mag caps but would look great with the old Torq Thrusts too!

I have a restored set of peak-spoke 14x6 TTs in the garage, as a matter of fact! Debating F70 pinner whites or redlines for the mags.

Since my car has what I call an "Impala driveline" (396/325, Th400, open 12-bolt) I decided to put a set of wire wheelcovers on it. One of the original ads referred to the RS as the "country club Camaro" and the wires help in that regard! Dare to be different.

From the Front or from the Rear that ride looks great.
How do you like the G Exhaust? Resonators?
