1970's Magazine COVER CAR Found in Georgia - HISTORY EXPOSED!

'70s Street Machines are always WILD, and this '67 Camaro is no different. It was built in 1976 by Street Customs Limited in Garden Grove, California. This is the same shop that built the Camaro for the "Eat My Dust" movie in 1976. Street Customs Limited built the car to showcase the custom fiberglass fender flares and other custom components the company manufactured. The car was featured in multiple magazines, including two cover shots, both in Popular Hot Rodding magazine. The first was in March 1976, and surprisingly, there was no article related to the car inside the magazine. The magazine staff got a bunch of complaints, so they re-shot the car for a full feature. By this point, the car had a brand new paint job and a few other custom details. It was featured again on the cover, and then in a full article with build photos in the June 1976 issue of Popular Hot Rodding.

I'm not sure what happened after the car ran its course as a Street Customs Ltd marketing piece, but it changed hands and got a fresh look with a Pro Stock scoop, a red and gold paint job and a CRAZY crushed velvet interior. The car still has its Monza headlights and Cadillac grille, as well as the fiberglass flares and front air dam. The car also still has the Cougar taillights and Hooker side pipes from the earlier version. One of these days I might be able to find out who handled the stage 2 version of this car's build, but for now I wanted to tie the pieces together on this historic California show car that continues to live on nearly 50 years later.
