1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS convertible pace car is powered by a 396ci L35 V8 engine rated at 325hp and 410 ft/lbs of torque, paired with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission and an optional posi-traction differential. In April 1967, Chevrolet produced a limited number of special "pace car" convertibles to commemorate the Indianapolis 500, followed by an additional 11 convertibles built in June 1967 at the Norwood, OH, plant with identical "pace car" specifications. These 11 cars, each equipped with the 396ci L35 V8, were delivered to Canada for use as parade cars during the Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport Park in Ontario. This example is one of those 11 Canadian pace cars. Each was ordered under GM of Canada Sales Promotion code 80055 and distributed from Oshawa to Canadian dealers, all built during the third week of June 1967 and identified with "06" body tags. These cars were equipped with the L35 396ci engine, M40 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, G80 posi-traction rear axle, simulated wood steering wheel, power convertible top, front and rear bumper guards, deluxe seat belts, N44 special steering and door-edge guards. The 396ci L35 V8 retains its factory engine identification stamping and correct MY suffix, confirming its 325hp configuration for automatic transmission use, and was overhauled during refurbishment. Equipment includes a 4-barrel carburetor, power steering and power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes. It rides on 14-inch Rally wheels with FR70-14 Firestone Wide Oval red line tires. The exterior is finished in special-order white paint with a white soft-top, as indicated on the Fisher Body Tag, which decodes as Build Date 06C, Style 67-12667, Body NOR 137659, Trim 732-Z Bright Blue vinyl with Strato bucket seats, Paint 0-1 white with white soft-top, D Power top, 2ZG automatic transmission with center console, 3SL Interior Decor Group with Rally Sport package, 4N L35 396ci V8 and 5BY rear bumper guards with deluxe seat belts. The interior features bright blue vinyl bucket seats with white accents, a matching rear bench, center console, Custom Autosound stereo, retractable front lap belts and factory instrumentation, including a 120-mph speedometer, tachometer, clock and auxiliary gauges in the console. Documentation includes the original Window Sticker, Canadian shipping record, letters and literature related to both the 1967 Indianapolis 500 pace cars and the Canadian Grand Prix parade cars, along with refurbishment records, memorabilia and parade flags. Two of the confirmed Canadian Pace Cars are VIN 124677N236959 and this example, VIN 124677N237202.
