Vehicle Description
You can't help but smile when you see this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS
Convertible - a great looking, open air muscle car that's in top
form in all respects - inside, outside and under the hood. It's
benefitted mightily from a thorough restoration that's been
documented with an extensive collection of photos and still
features its original, numbers matching drivetrain, including a
freshly rebuilt engine that's running at the top of its game.
While the original exterior color was Butternut Yellow, it now
features a beautiful Bolero Red that's been properly decked out
with the signature black RS stripe circling the nose of the car.
The shade graced many a classic Camaro back in the day and it looks
great on this drop top, showing a nice shine and a clean overall
condition. The front grille is well aligned and houses the
signature hideaway headlights that were one of the primary
attractions of the RS appearance package and they are in great
working order. The body alignment is very strong from all angles on
this classic Chevy - the cowl hood matches up well with the fenders
to either side, and the doors, hood and decklid sit nice and flush.
The exterior fittings throughout also present well - both the front
and rear bumpers are unblemished and well-aligned and the trim
running along the rocker panels and surrounding the windows looks
nice and fresh. At first glance, you'll almost certainly picture
yourself out on the road with just the sky above you, but rest
assured that the power black vinyl convertible top raises and
lowers smoothly and is also in great shape.
The black vinyl interior has been restored to an impressive
condition while retaining its properly vintage appearance. From the
looks of things, not many people have ventured into this cabin -
both the front buckets and rear bench seat show almost no
perceptible wear and they loom over black carpeting that also looks
to have been replaced not long ago. A woodgrain steering wheel sits
on the column displaying the signature Chevy bowtie. Just beyond
it, the dash area features a supple looking, uncracked dash pad
over the top - always an especially welcome sight on a convertible
- as well as an assortment of functional gauges in its cluster that
are joined by a trio of additional factory displays on the center
console, which is another defining styling feature of the Camaros
from this era. Air conditioning was a fairly rare option on
convertibles from so long ago, but it's on board here and it's been
upgraded for optimum performance. In back, the trunk area is lined
with plaid vinyl and a fresh seal sits under the deck lid to keep
the elements from intruding.
The engine compartment underneath that cowl hood looks showroom
fresh and houses the very same 327 cubic inch V8 this Camaro drove
off the showroom floor with, along with an also original 2-speed
Powerglide transmission. The powerplant has been spruced up with
fresh paint and really looks nice sitting among the freshly cleaned
components that surround it. It was rebuilt to factory specs not
long ago and is running very strong - just think about what a blast
it would be to get this Camaro home and get right out on the road.
Power steering provides easy navigation, while power brakes that
feature discs up front bring dependable, fade-resistant stops as
this unusually sharp Chevy cruises on its set of 15" Rallye wheels
outfitted with Coker Classic Redline tires.
This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible is a skillfully restored,
open air example of one of the most pivotal muscle car models ever
to put rubber to asphalt. Call today!
