67 L30/M20, RS/SS Tribute, Many Rare Options OEM Headrest, Fold Down Seat & More

Photos purposely limited as listing readiness is a week to 10 days early but I wanted it listed by Memorial Day weekend.
I have owned this Camaro since 1983 (bought it when I was just 17 yrs old). IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE SINCE 1985!!! It has been my cherished car that life always presented too many other obstacles to get around to getting it out to make it the show quality classic I wanted to. Nearly 9 years ago I fell off a ladder and broke my neck. Finally last spring I came to grips with the fact I should sell it. These days I can do nothing physically myself and am at the mercy of family and friends to follow through on my request. I have good support from them, but of course they have their own lives and limited availability. As a result it takes a long time to follow through on things to be done. With that in mind I decided to list it as it was at that point in time late last fall to avoid any more burden on my friends and after listening to potential buyers grumble about rust on the very bottom of the trunk well/pan and some other nitpicking issues I conceded that they needed to be addressed.
My friends volunteered to do all that was necessary, but just before they got started with the trunk well pan I got an offer to purchase from a buyer for it as it was at a price that was good enough to warrant avoiding burdening my family and friends any further. The caveat the buyer had was the deal could not complete the transaction until mid-January. Long story shortened here he failed to complete the deal... So I let my friends and family know and they stepped up again.
All the biggest task are now 95% complete, but I added several smaller task that are now adding to the delay (examples = driver's door PW motor replacement has been started => door inside is apart and new motor came yesterday but waiting for someone to install, the original rear body harness was butchered for the RS conversion in 1983 and I decided to buy a new oer RS correct harness to replace it not knowing that it runs all the way up under the dash to plug in, which is now done except portion in trunk is rolled up in a plastic bag behind wheel well until the clear coat is sprayed over the trunk speckle paint and the drivers seat was/is still removed to make getting under the dash easier, etc. etc. etc). Hopefully the loose ends can be completed soon.
The trunk has turned out really nice and it is a quality job done intended to last a long time. It did end up with "project scope creep" because it was discovered that there was also thin metal/rust in the classic area where the factory trunk pan stamping covers the shock brackets. A lot of people selling a car would just cut a little out, slap some Duraglas in and call it a day. THOSE PEOPLE PISS ME OFF! I'm not that way. If the trunk well pan is already being cut out that makes accessing and working on the shock areas ten times easier,. That is what was done. After removing the original metal the patch panels would cover everything beneath was cleaned out, sprayed with multiple coats of Loctite rust converter, underside of patch panels primed & painted and welded in place. Skim coats of Duraglas applied and professionally finished over all welded areas, primed, and trunk speckle painted. At this listing it is just needing to be satin clear coated yet. It really looks good!
Back to overall information on the car. It is equipped with a lot of desirable options, and all that didn't originally come on it were OEM originals acquired (except as noted) from other 67 Camaro's in 1983/84:
* Actual 67' Headrest (searched 3 years from 83' thru 85' for these with seat backs & hardware)* Deluxe interior (all original)* Tilt Column* Power windows* AM/FM Radio + FM Stereo Multiplex Unit* Console mountedarm rest style 8-Track Player* Under dash "Radio-Tape Switch" highly sought / rare (all factory harnessed)* Factory Speed Warning Indicator* Console w/Gauges (Clock, Fuel, Oil Pressure, Amps, Temp)* Tachometer* Fold down rear seat* Rear window defogger* 12 Bolt Positraction Rear Axle 3.73 Gear Ratio (not numbers matching butdesirable).* Muncie 4 spd (not numbers matching butdesirable)* Heavy Duty Cooling (3 Core wider radiator, 5 blade clutch fan)* Power Brakes* Power Steering* Rear Deck Spoiler (OEM, but no 67' came from factory with one)* 68' Deep Dish 15x7 Corvette Rally's up front (made by GM only in 68')* 69' or later Deep Dish15x8Corvette Rally's in the rear* Disc Brake Center Caps (reproduction units)* Pedal Trim* Deluxe seat belts (front only)* Console seat belt clips* Retractable seat belts outers in sleeve covering* Stainless interior trim over windows* Chrome trimmed roof drip rail* Rubber inserted tall style rear bumper guards (car came from factory with fronts too but have been removed)
The car has the original numbers matching "MK" code L30 275 HP engine. The original air cleaner and valve covers had been replaced with aftermarket pieces when I bought it In the spirit of the SS tribute upgrades I have had installed OEM chrome Chevrolet script valve covers and a aftermarket reproduction chrome cover low rise open air element air cleaner with 295 HP Reproduction Label. I am not sure if all L30s came with the HD cooling option, but this car does have it (just like the SS 350) which includes a 3 core wider than standard radiator and 5 blade clutch fan (I got a new OEM replacement clutch which was just installed).
