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/SS (and yes, it's a real-deal
RS/SS verified with the trim tag) will always be popular. With a
great-running 350 cubic inch small block V8, a quick-shifting
4-speed manual transmission, a comfortable black interior, and the
perfect predatory stance, it's a dialed-in Camaro that's turn-key
and ready to turn some heads today.
Born with Madeira Maroon paint, a few years back this Camaro was
upgraded to a bright shade of Bolero Red - the archetypal F-Body
color that always looks fantastic, especially with black stripes
'Bumble Bee' nose stripes and the contrasting factory black vinyl
roof. For fans of the simplicity of the early Camaros, few colors
could be better, and the pro's that did the color change did
everything right, as there are no conspicuous signs of the old
shade anywhere. Red 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. It's a driver-quality finish through-and-through, with a
few imperfections and a couple signs of touch-ups here and there,
but the curb appeal is undeniable and it will put a smile on your
face every time you walk up and get inside. As a true RS/SS-spec
car it has the traditional hidden headlights up front and simple
single-element taillight lenses out back, not to mention the
SS-spec hood complete with blacked-out inserts that offer a cool
custom touch, and the requisite emblems at the bookends let
everyone know what time it is. Chrome is quite good throughout,
including the front and rear bumpers, and the set of "SS" badges on
the fenders serve as a warning to any potential challengers at red
lights.
Complementing the red paint, a set of restored black Deluxe buckets
(this car was born with factory buckets, however they were
originally Parchment) greet you when you climb aboard, split by a
factory center console that houses the 4-speed manual. Plush black
carpets and matching door panels complete the OEM look, and all of
the soft stuff inside looks to have been recently replaced. A
sporty, wood-rimmed Pilot steering wheel will make you want to go
out and by leather driving gloves to complete the sensational look,
and just beyond it the dual-pods still carry what are likely the
original gauges, complete with a factory tachometer with a correct
5500RPM redline. Auxiliary gauges fitted at the leading edge of the
center console are a Camaro trademark, and that cue ball topped
Hurst shifter falls easily to hand while managing the
factory-correct 4-speed manual transmission living underneath.
Entertainment comes courtesy of a newer Jensen AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo
head unit that's been neatly installed in the center stack and
seems to blend in with its surroundings, although it looks like it
will need a little work before tunes pump into the cabin again. 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 spacious and
solid trunk wearing proper spatter-finish paint.
Power comes from an ultra-clean and sweet-running 350 cubic inch V8
under the hood. Finished in Chevy Orange engine enamel, with a set
of chrome Edelbrock valve covers that are always right on a small
block Chevy, it definitely has a performance look. An aluminum
Edelbrock Performer intake manifold with a matching Edelbrock
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 modern alternator for added spark, and a big radiator up
front that keeps the whole show nice and cool. The aforementioned
4-speed manual transmission feeds a 10-bolt rear end and a set of
long-tube headers feed a fresh dual exhaust system with Super Turbo
mufflers that sounds downright nasty. Clean floors dusted in satin
black look great, power steering and power front disc brakes
improve the ride quality greatly, and the perfect stance is set
atop a set of Classic Rallye wheels wrapped in 215/65/15 front and
235/60/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A white-letter performance radials that
totally fill the fenders.
Nicely built, clean, and a lot of fun to drive, this is an awesome
Camaro RS/SS with great colors and just a bit of attitude. Call
