Description I don't make this shit up, read on.

1967 Camaro Z/28

This 1967 Z/28 Camaro was ordered new by Ken Deckman and delivered to Alan Green Chevrolet in Seattle, Washington, on March 29, 1967.  This is a real 1967 Z/28 (1 of 602) with the original "4L" cowl tag to prove it.  Ken Deckman drove the car home and started making it into a race car immediately.

This 1967 Z/28 raced in two Trans-Ams in the first year it was purchased and completed (Riverside, then Kent).  Ken Deckman finished in 8th place at its second Trans-Am race, Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington, 1967.

Prior to this car, Deckman had campaigned Corvettes with a fair degree of success.  Ken had Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago build up the original motor to racing specs.

Ken Deckman ran the Trans-Am series every year, well into the 1970s, and finally put the car away.  Bob Morton was able to buy it from Ken in 1987, and restore it to how it looked in its late 1960s configuration and livery.

Bob Morton, the second owner of this Camaro, has all history from day one.  The restoration and originality (of car and parts) was documented in multiple Super Chevy articles (1994 and 1995).

A real knockout Camaro!! There so many modded Camaros from full tilt to mild but nothings looks as race (or race inspired) as the real thing.

Maybe? Would actually love for you to request a Hotwheels custom? Come on Shark! Bust out your favorite car ever, paint scheme and hope that I have it in stock?

I'm partial to the Chevelle SS, 396 or 454.  Probably a 68, 69, or a 70.  That's the sweet spot for me.  My buddy had a yellow Chevelle (not an SS) with black stripes and Cragar SS chrome wheels.  That was a cool car.  I'm going to want a great sounding AM/FM Cassette Stereo and a couple of 6x9 coaxial speakers in the rear deck so I can crank some Bad Company or Lynyrd Skynyrd when I'm cruising the boulevard.

Build it Hank!

Have a few Chevelles in stock and can do! Yellow with black stripes will look pretty awesome but might be hard to install a killer sound system in a Hotwheels? Do have some mini cragars for it though. ROCK ON SHARK!

Been thinking about some designs with the CD carrousel on some Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company cranked! Gotta have my tunes too and hopefully classic ones!

That is 1 sweet ride. Next to the Mustang, the old-school Camero is my second favorite car.

Nice that you can appreciate both of them.  Too many people are hardcore one way or the other.

I just love find some background on a car when I can.  This Camaro has such an interesting story; I had to share it.
