Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro appeared in Chevrolet
dealerships in September 1966 for the 1967 model year. Based on a
brand-new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as
a 2-door, 2+2 seat, hardtop (no "B" or center pillar) or
convertible, with the choice of either a straight-six or V8 engine.
The first-generation Camaro was built through the 1969 model
year.
The RS was an appearance package that included hidden headlights,
revised taillights with back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS
badging, and exterior bright trim. This example has been completely
restored, and with the RS package shows very nicely, and goes
pretty good too.
Exterior
Repainted red is the sole new addition to this otherwise original
badging, brightwork, bumpers, and top. A cream parchment (rare
option) top is in good condition. RS option hidden headlights are
functioning, as well as all exterior lighting. Stock Chevrolet
Motor Company wheel trim and hubcaps are framed by Goodrich radial
T/A's. The RS gas cap is planted firmly in the center of the rear
panel and the correct horizontal wrap around the grille stripe is
present. Noted, is that the top frame may need adjustment as it
does not sit completely level where the windows roll up.
Interior
Red stitched vinyl bucket seats with black highlighting, in good
condition in front, save for a tear that has been taped on the
passenger bucket bolster. Also, a matching motif bench seat in the
rear make up the seating arrangement. A center console shows an
automatic shift handle that is designed right out of the 60's.
(Looks like George Jetson would have used a similar one to control
his flying car!). Airflow and temperature for the interior are
controlled by horizontal levers in the middle of the dash. Deep
round angled analog gauges create the gauge cluster in front of the
original RS steering wheel. Red carpet in fair to good condition
showing some staining covers the floors.
Drivetrain
A date code correct 327ci V8 drinks from a 4-barrel carburetor and
drives a replacement 3-speed TH350 automatic transmission. An
Edelbrock intake and carburetor setup sits up top and all this
throws power to the 10-bolt rear.
Undercarriage
Underside is original and no rust is present. Power front disc
brakes, rear power drums, and a dual exhaust system are seen all in
good condition.
Drive-Ability
A good driver, quick starter, smooth shifter, and some good grabby
brakes. The car rode smoothly, and the interior was spacious. It's
great to be able to put a top down on a nice day and go for a spin
so I can write about these fascinating cars!
A generation 1 first year pony car, completely restored, with an RS
option package, as well as some great factory options. All surfaces
interior and exterior are good to go, and in good working
condition. Noteworthy is that the original Powerglide, cylinder
heads and 4 bbl carburetor are included. A check back in time
reveals that all advertising money went into the SS. Hence a
beautiful option...the RS...was somewhat ignored, creating a lesser
seen Camaro but seen right here at Classic Auto Mall.
