(survivor) The 1967 Camaro RS, short for ""Rally Sport,"" was part
of the first-ever Chevrolet Camaro lineup, introduced to compete
with the Ford Mustang. Here's a breakdown of the 1967 Camaro RS's
history: Born from the Mustang's Success: In 1964, Ford's Mustang
became a runaway hit, and Chevrolet scrambled to create a
competitor. The Camaro, built on the upcoming Chevy II Nova
platform, arrived in showrooms by fall of 1966. The RS Package: All
About Appearance The RS wasn't a performance package like the SS
(Super Sport). It focused on aesthetics, offering a sportier look
for the base Camaro. The key feature of the 1967 Camaro RS was the
hidden headlights. They retracted electrically behind motorized
panels in the grille, creating a cleaner, more aerodynamic front
end. Other RS additions included distinctive front grille inserts,
special taillight lenses, and RS badges. Sharing the Spotlight: The
RS package could be combined with the SS package, creating an
""RS/SS"" Camaro. In this case, the RS badging took precedence
visually. 1967 was the only year for the unique center console
design and instrument cluster layout offered in the Camaro A Strong
Debut, but Not the Sales Leader: While the 1967 Camaro, including
the RS, was a success, it couldn't dethrone the Mustang in sales
that year. Chevy sold 220,906 Camaros compared to Ford's 472,121
Mustangs However, the Camaro, including the RS, did chip away at
Mustang's dominance, paving the way for future sales victories.
