Vehicle Description
If you appreciate originality, and if you have always loved the
clean looks of an early RS Camaro, then this car is for you. It is
a real RS that has been carefully and correctly restored so that it
is now, what it was then when it rolled off the showroom floor in
1967. Beautiful, desirable, and capable. Take a look for
yourself.
Presented in the factory original Butternut Yellow with bold Black
stripes, this car is a sight to behold. The first two years had the
cleanest look for the hideaway headlight grill, stretching
completely from side to side with nothing disturbing the look but
an RS badge in the center. Being a '67 is just icing on the cake as
far as looks go, but is definitely a significant factor as far as
collectability. There is a pencil thin chrome bumper underlining
that grill and on the side of the car, chrome runs along the rocker
panel as well as dresses out the fender wells. Crossed racing flags
announcing another desirable aspect of this car grace the front
fenders just under Camaro in script. The bold black stripes
continue on the trunk lid while rectangular taillights trimmed in
chrome with an RS gas cap between them are underlined by another
sharp looking chrome bumper.
Open the door and you will find a very clean and stock, Black
interior. It is also the correct and original RPO code Z23 interior
this car was delivered in new. The door panel sets the tone in
black with a vertically patterned center panel framed by chrome
bands with chrome dressing out the armrest, window crank and door
handle. The front buckets seats have a pleated pattern for the
center section as well, with smooth side bolsters for support. A
wood tone steering wheel is mounted on a 3-spoke hub with a bowtie
center button. Behind it is a stock dashboard that has been nicely
restored so that the gauges are sharp and clean and the chrome trim
shines like new. Ventilation controls in the center include those
for another plus with this car, factory air conditioning. The
center console is sleek looking in black and chrome and holds the
T-handle shifter for the Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission.
An aftermarket stereo is mounted below the dash on the right
instead of displacing the factory AM radio.
Pop the hood on this car and you will find a very desirable,
numbers matching, 327 cubic inch motor that is believed to be the
one delivered in this car new. Like the rest of the car, it has
been kept completely stock with a black air filter assembly topping
the motor sporting its 327 Turbo-Fire 210 Horsepower sticker. Chevy
Orange coats all the iron and the metal valve covers have Chevrolet
in script pressed into them. The factory A/C compressor and system
is still in place and all the belts, hoses and wires are in good
shape. The power brake booster and master cylinder appear to have
been replaced recently as does the alternator. Power flows back
through the Powerglide trans that is also believed to be the one
delivered in this car new. The chassis received as much love as the
rest of the car in the restoration and while the Flowmaster
mufflers may not be original equipment, they sure do make the car
sound good!
A first year RS with a numbers matching 327. Neat, clean, and
original. If this is the kind of car you appreciate, then get on
down here and check it out. It is a special kind of car.
