Vehicle Description
A rare find. A highly optioned first year RS, special ordered by a
GM employee. Numbers matching, correct and original with a focus on
keeping things stock and rebuilding the original pieces where
possible during maintenance or repair. This is one for the purist
collectors out there. It has also been cared for by the same owner
for the past 26 years. Check it out.
This car has good, solid, and original Y-2 Butternut Yellow paint.
The original owner checked about every box on the form when they
ordered this car too so, it has the appearance group which includes
things like the bumper guards both front and rear, chrome wheel
well moldings and rocker trim. All the chrome as well as the
stainless on this car is in excellent condition and it's all
polished up nice and bright. Of course, being an RS, it has the
hideaway headlights up front which work quite nicely. Everything on
this car works properly, so that's not a real surprise. The
bumblebee stripe has the RS designation within it and a 327 badge
on the fenders is a giveaway about the precious prize under the
hood. The RS badges on the grill and gas cap are the real deal and
of course the box was checked for power operation on the Black
convertible roof which also has a nice boot to dress it out while
it is folded down.
Open the door, or just look inside if the roof is down, and you
will find a completely stock interior, again, with all the options
that could be ordered in it. You will notice the switches for the
rarely ordered power windows on the door panel, and the gauge
package in the center console includes fuel, water temp, oil
pressure and voltage monitors as well as a clock. A three-spoke
deep dish steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column and sits in
front of a stock tach and speedometer that is indicating 70,913
miles that are believed to be accurate and original. Ventilation
controls include those for the factory A/C which blows nice and
cold and the control knobs as well as the chrome trim and T-handle
shifter for the automatic transmission have a patina on them that
only comes with age. The seats and the carpets on the other hand
have been replaced and help make this interior look fantastic.
Open the hood and you will find a very desirable and numbers
matching 327 cubic inch motor nestled down in a completely stock
engine bay. The motor and drivetrain on this car have received some
quality reconditioning with a commitment to maintaining originality
and to rebuilding, rather than replacing parts where possible. The
engine has had its seals and gaskets replaced along with a fresh
coat of Chevy Orange paint with proper 327 Turbo-Fire decals on the
valve covers. The original air conditioning compressor was rebuilt
with new parts like the expansion valve as well as getting new
hoses and receiver dryer. The 2-speed Powerglide transmission was
rebuilt also getting a new flex-plate and torque converter in the
process and the u-joints were replaced while the driveshaft was out
too. Power front disc brakes are another nice option ordered on
this '67 and they have been serviced up end to end. Steel wheels
with chrome trim rings and center caps with 205/70R14s complete the
look of this car nicely.
It doesn't get much better than a '67 RS, numbers matching
convertible with all the options the factory had to offer. If this
is your kind of car, then call or come down and check it out. We
don't expect this one to last long.
