In 1967, Louis Perricone decided to check out the new ponycar offering from Chevrolet once he heard you could get it stuffed with the stout 396/375hp Turbo-Jet V-8.
At the salesman’s desk, he checked off all the right boxes to build a true street performer. He chose that particular L78 package, the M21 four-speed manual trans, and finished it off with the QB 4.56 Positraction rear differential. The SS/RS optioned Camaro was everything a performance oriented motorhead would love . . . and then some.
45 years later, it has about 2,800 miles, mostly by doing quarter-mile runs at Atco, Raceway Park, New York National Speedway, and famed Fountain Avenue.
Listed online, it sold with the period-perfect speed parts, from the vintage gauges to the blow-proof bell to the real A and A Stinger hood
