1967 Camaro RS SS 396 375hp L78 Coupe

Looks to be holding a B&M Star shifter too.
In May 1980 I was pulled over for Dragracing on Main st. from Lombards finest.
The arresting officer even wrote on the ticket he heard/saw me chirpin through all 4 gears during it,as proof.
I told Barney Fife he had the wrong vehicle,as I clearly had a 3spd Auto trans attached to my Starshifter.
That slapstick was

Yeah, but did your snide rebuttal get you off the hook?

The driver next to me bolted the other way.They never found him.
I showed up in court and was given 6 mos.court supervision,because the arresting officer was nearly as old as I was and determined to blow the whole thing way out of proportion,mentioning he heard REO Speedwagons,"Time For me to Fly" turned up on the radio,etc.The judge couldn't believe his zeal and had sympathy for me.
(it was 1980 and there was much more leneancy than there is today)
The cop quit the force years later and was arrested for drunk driving later on.
Good times..

Stranger things have happened but I don't understand the tranny swap out. Was this car raced? I see the brake pedal is for an auto car.

Just for your information, the cutout in the tunnel on 1967 Camaros is exactly the same whether it had an automatic or manual tranmission. You can't tell what tranny it had just by that.

Haw about a picture of the firewall around the steering column and brake setup?

Nice car but...

Yes, the car was a race car most of it's life. It was purchased from one of the leading COPO,L89,L78, high performance selling dealerships in Ohio.

The Chain of ownership, Original Protecto plate, and original trim tag, as well as numerous other items designate the car as a RS/SS, 4 speed, L78 Camaro.

BTW,Mike thanks for all the help!
