Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
For a mere $105.35 in 1967, you could check the box for the Rally
Sport Package to add to just about any Camaro you ordered from
Chevrolet. And 64,842 people did just that, leaving 156,064 Camaro
owners without the package that added headlight covers, relocated
reverse lights, rocker molding, badging as well as some interior
features. That $105 option has appreciated greatly over the years
and can add as much as 20% to the value of a classic Camaro.
For consignment, a true Z22 code, one family 1967 Chevrolet Camaro
RS. Sold between brothers and then to a brother inlaw who performed
a body off restoration between 2004 and 2009, including some
genuine GM door skins and body panels he purchased 30 years
earlier! The car has been garage kept, has its passenger get ready
form, and is now ready to move on to a new family to enjoy.
Exterior
Madeira Maroon in two stage form is in line with the N1 paint code
and covers the car like a fine wine. In the front, part of that
hundred dollar package and worth every penny is the hideaway
headlights and black painted grille. The side fenders are
demarcated with lower case and correct "rs" emblems and there is
appropriate trim at the wheel openings and rocker panel. The chrome
bumpers, window trim, and taillight trim really pop against the
dark red paint as do the reverse lights on the rear valance. A
white canvas top provides great contrast too and like the paint, is
in excellent condition. 15-inch polished American Racing Torque
Thrust wheels shine bright with staggered size tires for a slightly
raked stance. Panel gaps are good and we were hard pressed to find
any noticeable flaws on the exterior.
Interior
Glossy black topped door panels include geometric stitching pattern
on the vinyl and both doors are spotless. Stepping inside we find
front bucket seats, firm and near flawless, mirrored in condition
by the back bench. Everything from the steering wheel forward looks
factory fresh too, from the RS emblem on the center cap to the dual
gauges, to the shiny black dashboard. The center stack, lined in
silver trim, hosts the vent controls, AM radio, and triple gauge
cluster, three gauges with four bits of information and a clock in
the center. Hurst is engraved in the floor mounted shifter and a
white ball handle provides the control. Loop style back carpet
provides the floor covering while rs branded carpeted mats along
with the rest of the footwells, are in excellent condition.
Drivetrain
As advertised on the fender emblems, a correct 327ci L30 V8 is
under the hood and was rated at 275 horsepower. Fed by a 4-barrel
carburetor and tied to a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission, the
engine is clean and show worthy perched in the engine bay.
According to our consignor, 3.07 gears sit in the 12 bolt rear.
Drum brakes live at each wheel.
Undercarriage
Satin black paint undercoats a breathtaking underside,
spectacularly clean and as show worthy as the top surface. The dual
exhaust flanks the driveshaft before entering a FlowMaster muffler
in the back, then leaving in downward facing tips that just barely
peek out from under the fenders. Coil springs on the independent
front suspension are matched with mono leaf springs in the back. If
you buy this car, buy some long mirrors so you can show off this
side of the car.
Drive-Ability
We prime the 4barrel and turn the key and the 327 rumbles to life,
just as it has for the past 57 years. Off we go for a short lap
around our loop and find a good running engine with plenty of
power, brakes that work, and all gauges, bells and whistles
working. We note two issues to address. The reverse lights do not
work, and the car pulls hard to the left upon braking. Beyond that,
a great ride unburdened by the weight of dirty parts or caked on
grease.
An iconic American pony car with a great story and a meticulous
restoration in a wonderful color and assembly line like
cleanliness. Oh, it's got a fun stick, and the top goes down.
Anyone can slap on RS items and create a tribute, but this is the
real deal. If you're in the market for a first gen Camaro, put this
one on your list.
