1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS 327 4-Speed

Description

The Chevrolet Camaro is a mid-size American automobile manufactured by Chevrolet. Classified as a pony car, it first went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year, and was designed to compete with the Ford Mustang. Chevrolet sold approximately 221,000 Camaros in 1967, of which less than 30% were optioned with the Rally Sport (RS) package. RS-equipped cars received hideaway headlights behind a revised front grille, wider taillights with black-painted bezels, back-up lights below the rear bumper, parking lights below the front bumper, and RS badging on the grille, fenders, and gas cap.

This 1967 Camaro was built with the RS package and was delivered new to John Smith Co. in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 29, 1966. It is powered by a 327ci Turbo-Fire V8 paired with a replacement four-speed manual transmission and an Eaton rear axle, reported by the seller to be original to the car. The car left the factory finished in Butternut Yellow and was repainted in the same color under previous ownership.

Modifications include American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels, Ridetech tie rods, a Custom Autosound stereo, and under-dash dual voice speakers. For modern convenience, the hideaway headlight assemblies have been rebuilt with electric motors.

According to the seller, the car was purchased new by one family and remained in their ownership for 56 years. It sat outside for a period of time before passing through two subsequent owners, arriving with the current owner in August 2024. The car is said to have remained registered in Georgia throughout its history. The current owner reports spending over eight months on mechanical and cosmetic work; a seller-provided list of repairs made by both previous and current ownership is viewable in the gallery.

This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS 4-speed is offered with its Protect-O-Plate, manufacturer's literature, a body broadcast copy, copies of the service records, and a clean Georgia title in the seller's name.

Additional Information

From the seller: “While one can find restomod Camaros everywhere, it’s harder to find a survivor with an original matching number engine and axle. The car has its Protect-O-Plate and owner’s manual to verify its authenticity along with desirable features like the RS package and 4-speed floor shifter”.
