1967 Chevrolet Camaro

1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Hardtop Tribute RS on a Camaro speak stands for Rally Sport which was a cosmetic package available on all trim levels. It included hidden headlights, and reverse lights below the bumper, as well as a few other options. When matched with the SS performance package, you had a mean looking Camaro that could perform as well as it looked. For consignment, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe dressed up as an RS/SS showing 18,003 non-verifiable miles on the odometer. While a clone would have the correct engine and other mechanical and cosmetic mimicry, a tribute takes certain parts and gives a proverbial nod to that model. That's not to say our car has not had some tasteful upgrades and along with RS components, represents a great car for your consideration. The engine, transmission and rear were rebuilt 2,000 miles ago according to our consignor and a new wiring harness is on board to distribute the amps. Exterior Two stage Bolero Red paint is complemented by a black SS nose stripe with SS emblems filling the break in the stripe. An SS emblem is also on the grille which is flanked by matching headlight covers in true RS fashion. The cowl hood extends high over the vents, held in place by locking hood pins, and the windshield leads to a black vinyl top in excellent condition. The chrome bumpers and metalwork are in great condition and so is the SS gas cap on back under a racy rear spoiler. 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels are on board here with staggered size tires that contribute to the raked stance of the car. A tasteful black pinstripe ends on the door with a black bowtie and a 327 crest is on the front quarter panel. Overall, the paint and exterior condition is in great condition, and we could not find any glaring exterior flaws. Interior Simple black door cards welcome occupants of the car with typical features and Camaro plaques on each door. Black vinyl buckets seats are in very good condition and the back seats are equally as nice. A black padded steering wheel rim surrounds four plastic spokes, and the column provides the mounting base for a tachometer and oil pressure light. Twin coves house the speedometer on the left while black plastic backs the center stack that houses the vent controls and AM/FM/Cassette radio and a triplet gauge pod is mounted under the dash. A Hurst shifter with a chrome ball handle serves as the joystick and like the entire center console, is in great shape. Black loop style carpet covers the floor along with vintage style Camaro rubber mats, while a stitched black headliner is clean and intact. Drivetrain Just as the fenders say, a rebuilt 327ci power plant sits proudly and in the very clean engine bay. Fuel is brought in by a 4-barrel carburetor and a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels where the 10 bolt axle is found. The engine bay is replete with polished metal and coated headers, while red ignition wires add some color and match the block. A gold brake booster assists with sending fluid to power disc brakes in the front with drilled and slotted rotors and power drums in the rear. Undercarriage Very clean and dry underneath, uniformly black and only hints of minimal surface rust. The dual exhaust comes from the headers and links to an H-pipe before meeting up with a pair of Flowmaster mufflers and exhaust, finally dumping inconspicuously behind the bodywork and out of sight. Coil springs occupy the front independent suspension while leaf springs are found in the back with traction bars added. Drive-Ability We headed out onto the loop in this red tribute and even the world's biggest geek will gain coolness points by simply piloting this timeless classic. The car had good acceleration and braking, and the slightly raked stance and upright ride provides good visibility. Handling is not too shabby, and all functions operate as they should.
