1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Restored V8 4-Speed with Performance
Upgrades Throughout Why This Car Is Special The 1967 Chevrolet
Camaro RS is one of the most sought-after first-generation Camaros
on the market today, and for good reason. Chevrolet launched the
Camaro for the 1967 model year as a direct answer to Fords Mustang,
which had been outselling everything in its segment since 1964.
General Motors engineers and designers had been working on the
platform internally called the F-body for several years before the
car debuted on September 26, 1966. The result was a car with
sharper handling than the Mustang, a wider range of factory
performance options, and a body style that has aged remarkably
well. The RS, or Rally Sport package, was one of the first options
buyers could add to any 1967 Camaro regardless of engine choice. It
brought hidden headlights with vacuum-actuated doors, a blacked-out
grille, RS badging, revised taillights, and additional exterior
trim. It was a cosmetic and appearance package, not a performance
upgrade, which meant buyers could combine it with the Super Sport
package or any engine in the lineup. That flexibility made the RS
one of the most popular option groups Chevrolet offered that year.
The VIN on this car decodes to a 1967 Camaro Sport Coupe built at
the Norwood, Ohio assembly plant. The seventh character confirms
this is a V8-equipped car from the factory, which aligns with the
350 cubic inch small block under the cowl hood today. Norwood-built
first-gen Camaros have a devoted following among collectors, and
Norwood production has been well documented by Camaro Research
Group records. This particular 1967 Camaro RS was fully restored in
2021 and has been upgraded with a thoughtful combination of
performance hardware and retained factory features including
several options that were not commonly ordered, which we will
detail below. Features List - 350 cubic inch small block V8, rated

Mechanical The engine in this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS is a 350
cubic inch small block Chevrolet V8 producing 300 horsepower. The
350 was introduced as a Camaro option for the 1967 model year,
making its debut in this very generation of car. Backed by a Muncie
4-speed manual transmission, the drivetrain combination here is the
kind of setup that made these cars popular on both the street and
the track in the late 1960s and it still works exactly that way
today. The exhaust system is a properly specd performance setup.
Headman ceramic-coated headers flow into 2.5-inch pipes and exit
through stainless steel mufflers. Ceramic coating on the headers
helps retain exhaust heat inside the pipe, which improves flow
efficiency and also protects the metal from the kind of heat
cycling that causes rust and cracking over time. The sound profile
of this system is aggressive without being obnoxious it has the
deep, even tone that a well-tuned small block with good headers and
the right muffler produces. An open-element air cleaner sits on top
of the carburetor, and the steel cowl hood above it feeds cooler
outside air directly into the engine bay. Out back, the factory
rear end has been replaced with a Moser 12-bolt unit. The GM WeBe
