1967 Chevrolet Camaro

1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Hardtop For consignment, a 1967 RS that the owner dreamed about and was willing to purchase long distance, then tolerate mechanical issues, and finally fixing the mechanical problems with a new engine and electronic fuel injection to create a reliable, fast, and enjoyable RS. Its a real Z22 RS 67 in its correct color! Exterior Two stage Bolero Red envelopes this car which is enhanced by the black nose stripe surrounding the RS emblem on the fenders. The hidden headlights, this cars coup de grace , is an epic styling cue and the headlight doors retain the geometric pattern of the grille which creates a bit of a sinister face. The RS badge in lowercase letters is in the center of the black grille and we note some checking on the rim detail of the grille and headlights. A cowl hood adds to the meanness of the look, and a 327 badge on the fender, as well learn is not exactly what resides under the hood. The tail lights are solid red as the reverse lights are found on the lower valance for the RS variant. 15-inch rally wheels with slightly wider tires in back provide the roll. The paint, gaps, and metal work including bumpers are in overall nice condition, making this car fall squarely into the driver quality plus category. We note some touch up on a door edge and a slight dent to one wheel well trim piece. Interior The standard red door panels look great in red. Fantastic condition with a bit of warpage of the armrest/door pull but minor in its imperfection. The red vinyl buckets are of stock design and good condition as is the back bench with three sets of seatbelts. The RS center cap highlights the 3-spoke steering wheel, also in red, while dual gauge set in rounded coves let you know your speed up to 120 mph, fuel capacity, and other information indicated by idiot lights. The center stack has a vent, vent/heat controls, and an AM/FM radio housed in black panel. The center console is where we find the automatic gear shifter, a small T-shaped handle in a simple base with indicator. A small storage bin is just behind the shifter. The red loop style carpet covers the floor in fine condition, protected by Camaro branded floor mats. This red loop carpet was also used to cover the floor of the trunk and looks clean. The headliner is like a military bedsheet, tight and wrinkle free. Drivetrain After some ongoing battles with the 327, the consignor replaced it with a 350ci V8, added electronic fuel injection, and kept in place the Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. A 10-bolt rear is in the back and brakes slow this hot car down, discs in front and drums in the rear. The engine bay is spotless and show worthy with the block and valve covers painted orange and a chrome Edelbrock air filter element cover. Undercarriage Things are very clean underneath with the only surface rust noted is on the control arms up front. The dual exhaust comes off the manifolds where it meets a pair of Turbo mufflers, then up and over the rear axle to exit in downward facing tailpipes before the rear valance. Coil springs are found up front on the independent suspension while a mono leaf spring is found in the back. We note some residual oil on the oil pan, a drop on the flywheel cover, and a couple of drops on the transmission pan. Drive-Ability No battles here as the car started right up and the exhaust sang a wonderful tune! The very simple interior and good visibility makes these cars a joy to drive and the powerful 350 cubes is more than adequate. The car turns, stops, and accelerates like a champ and everything works. The beauty of crank windows, for example, is that they rarely fail! Theres just something about the hidden headlights of an RS that makes it special. It changes the attitude of the car from a mild mannered pony car to a savvy cowboy with an ace up his sleeve and wearing his Stetson hat low over his eyes. In a dual on the street, the low hat and shaded intent wins every time.
