Can a Z06 Corvette be swapped into a Camaro?
Tommy Tommerdal and his dad accomplished one of the holy grails of pro touring First Gen Camaro swaps by swapping in all of the key C5 Z06 Corvette components into their 1967 Camaro. People have been swapping C5 and C6 Corvette parts onto old muscle cars for well over a decade now. Not this build!
Where did the 67 Camaro Corvette come from?
To me, Tommy’s 67 Camaro is it’s spiritual successor. Even better, Tommy and his Dad built this car themselves out of a well equipped garage! Oh, and one more thing. They originally built it in Norway! I guess it starts with my childhood. I was born and raised in Norway, but my dad has always been a Chevy guy.
What kind of car is a Corvette Z06?
Back in the early 80s, before I was born he built a Hugger Orange, Big block twin turbo 69 Camaro. That engine eventually blew up, but the car stayed in the family until 2013, so I kinda grew up with that car. From 2007-2009 i studied in the US and i was lucky enough to drive a C6 Z06.
What kind of body does a 67 Camaro have?
67 Camaro RS body. GM Cyber Gray, with a flat clear coat (Painted not wrap). 70 Camaro mirrors, flushed mounted front and rear windows. Mini tubbed in the back, massaged inner front fenders. Most of the stock Camaro interior is still intact.
