Vehicle Description
First Generation Camaros have always been favorites for both
aficionados and regular muscle car fans alike, and high-impact cars
like this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS will always be popular. With a
great-running 454 cubic inch big block V8, a comfortable Deluxe
black interior, and the perfect predatory stance, it's a solid
muscle car that looks and runs like a Camaro should.
The paint is Hugger Orange, the archetypal Camaro color that always
looks fantastic, especially with white stripes running the length
of the hood and deck lid. For fans of the simplicity of the early
Camaros, few colors could be better, although it wasn't technically
available in 1967. It seems to emphasize the sheetmetal's curves;
just look at the kick-up behind the doors and the sharp crease that
runs the length of the body, neatly bisecting the doors and rear
quarter. As an true RS it has the traditional hidden headlights and
simple single-element taillight lenses have been added for an SS
look with the requisite emblems at the bookends. White Z/28-style
stripes are always welcome and they look crisp and vivid against
the orange paint, wrapping around the cowl-induction hood and the
ducktail spoiler just the way the factory did it. Chrome is quite
good throughout, including the front and rear bumpers, and someone
has thoughtfully added a set of "SS" badges on the fenders, perhaps
as a warning.
Complementing the Hugger Orange paint, a set of restored black
Deluxe buckets greet you when you climb aboard. Plush black carpets
and matching door panels complete the OEM look. This one also
carries a center console outfitted with a horseshoe shifter,
comfort-grip 3-spoke steering wheel, and, of course, that big block
engine up ahead. Auxiliary gauges fitted at the leading edge of the
center console are a Camaro trademark, and that 'staple' shifter
falls easily to hand for managing the TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission living underneath. Entertainment comes courtesy of a
newer JVC AM/FM/CD stereo head unit that's been neatly installed in
the center stack and seems to blend in with its surroundings. The
back seat looks almost new, which isn't usually a surprise in
Camaros, and if you open the deck lid you'll find a rust-free trunk
wearing proper spatter-finish paint.
Power comes from an ultra-clean and sweet-running 454 cubic inch
V8. Finished in Tuxedo Black with a set of chrome valve covers that
are always right on a big block Chevy, it definitely has a
performance look. A stock intake manifold with a big Quadrajet
4-barrel carb help build horsepower, and in the lightweight Camaro,
the big hit of torque is a real thrill every single time. There's
also a chromed alternator for added spark and a big radiator up
front that keeps the whole show nice and cool. The aforementioned
TH400 3-speed automatic feeds a 12-bolt rear end and a set of
stock-style exhaust headers feed a fresh dual exhaust system with
Flowmaster mufflers that sounds downright nasty. Clean floors, a
recent gas tank, and the perfect stance all add up to a car that's
going to get a lot of attention. Classic Rallye wheels wear
235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear Cooper Cobra white-letter
performance radials that totally fill the fenders.
Nicely built, clean, and a lot of fun to drive, this is an awesome
Camaro with great colors and just a bit of attitude. Call
