Here is a better shot of it. The original vinyl top was tattered and removed by a previous owner, so its getting a new one.

Here's my favorite... as the car was discovered after many years of storage! Now that's patina.

Your Camaro was registered not too long after my brothers 67! It had to be registered after 3/31/67...as his is earlier in the sequence of letters.

The car was originally purchased at a dealership in Compton, CA. I believe the car was first sold 07/26/1967 and the first registration was 08/24/67

Helmut,
I know it's hard to tell with photos, but it looks like your wheels are Tripoli Turquoise but the body is some shade of blue! Are you sure it didn't receive an overcoat of blue in its past? Or do those wheels have fresh paint?

The wheels were powdercoated by the previous owner, and that was the closest shade he could get to the original paint.

Hi Helmut,

I just saw this thread. I'm glad I sold the car to someone who will really enjoy it. Congrats! Looking forward to meeting you. You'll really enjoy driving it. I have for years.

Regards,
Al
