Vehicle Description
It represents the very first year of the first generation of its
model ever put out, but one look at this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS
is all it takes to see that Chevy nailed it right out of the gate.
This sharp looking classic is still clad in its original colors
both inside and out and carries smooth power under its distinctive
hood and a 4 speed manual that's all in great running form.
When you combine its Tuxedo black color and cowl induction hood,
this RS gives off the vibe of a muscle car driven straight from the
assembly to a waiting crew of craftsmen for customization, but
Chevy really did build these upper echelon Camaros with all this
awesomeness on board right from the factory floor. The high impact
shade looks nice and smooth with a very appealing shine, and steers
clear of the usual vulnerability the color has for putting
blemishes on display because there really are no serious issues to
be found on this exterior. This is a very straight looking classic
in all respects - up front, the signature hideaway headlights sit
flush and level in the deep black grille that looms just above the
clean front bumper, and they open without incident. The lines
surrounding the doors, hood and deck lid are very even. Trace the
contour that runs down the middle of the hood over the cowl
induction scoop and you'll see it lines up impressively well with
the center of the grille - no small feat in a car more than 50
years old. From the Chevrolet scripted emblem on its nose to the
"RS" branded gas cap in back, the badging on this vintage Chevy is
also very much on point.
You'd have to step inside an awful lot of its counterparts to come
across an interior anywhere near on a par with this one.
Refurbished to original specs right down to its deep red color, it
offers an outstanding classic driving environment and looks just
awesome. Everything's got a fresh look inside, from the low backed
buckets whose vinyl surfaces have yet to show any wear, the center
console that sports a Hurst shifter and the door panels on both
sides. Just in front of the factory steering wheel, the dash area
also presents very well, with very clear gauges in its instrument
cluster and what looks to be a nearly new dash pad on top. While
the feature isn't currently online, this classic Chevy could easily
be equipped with air conditioning, as the ducts are already in
place and vents are installed on the sides of the dash.
A period correct 327 cubic inch V8 sits in a very clean engine bay,
flanked by glossy black inner fenders and a firewall that really
make it stand out. There's not a wire out of place and every hose
you come across is nice and fresh. The small block looks
outstanding - its block is painted a proper Chevy orange that
contrasts nicely with its chrome valve covers and air cleaner - and
it's armed with a Quick Fuel 4-barrel carb and Edelbrock intake to
maximize its power. This first-generation Camaro also rides
impressively smooth and its control arm bushings were recently
replaced to eliminate the chatter cars of this era so often suffer
from. With featured power steering and power brakes, it's also an
easy navigator that can come to a stop promptly when called upon
and rides on a really nice set of 15" Rally wheels wrapped with BF
Goodrich T/A radials.
Classic Camaros rarely exhibit the combination of high impact
looks, power and excellent road manners offered by this 1967
Chevrolet Camaro. Call today!
