and this car is no exception. Under the hood sits a real Tri-
Power 427ci L89 engine, one of only 14 ever built, according
to Lewis. This engine – which utilizes the original block,
heads and crank – has been balanced, blueprinted and dyno-
tested with 500 horsepower.
The engine is hooked to an M22 4-speed manual
transmission complete with an L88 clutch and flywheel that
turns a 1967 12-bolt rear end with 4.10 posi-traction gears.
It also features square bar traction, a chambered exhaust, a
transistorized ignition, the original power disc brakes, the
original wheels with trim rings and the correct red line tires.
This Nickey/Bill Thomas Camaro is finished in Tuxedo Black
paint with an Ermine White stripe and has a radio delete
interior featuring a speed warning.
Harold Lewis’ re-creation has the heart of a true enthusiast
and master craftsman under the hood, and it shows in each
piece of metal, each panel and each piston. Register to bid
today to bring this special tribute home.
