This auction is for a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS.
Just as the first Mustang was based on Ford's compact Falcon, so the first 1967 Camaro
was based on Chevy's compact Nova. However, it was based on the upcoming redesigned
'68 Nova and therefore more robust than a comparable '67 Nova.
The basic engineering of the Camaro was a unibody structure from the windshield and
firewall back, with a separate steel rail subframe for everything up front. Double A-arms
made up the independent front suspension while the solid rear axle was suspended by
semi-elliptical leaf springs.
The Rally Sport (RS) appearance package brought deluxe interior trim and hidden headlights
with it, and the high-performance Super Sport (SS) package had its own distinct decoration
(including a domed hood with simulated vents, "bumble bee" stripes encircling the nose and
the iconic SS badges), a heavy-duty suspension and larger D70-series tires on 14-inch wheels.
The base $2,466 '67 Camaro sport coupe was lean and aggressive, as was the convertible.
Adding substance to that appearance was done either by picking or combining individual
options or trim packages called RS and SS.
Up for auction is this Amazing American Muscle car from Chevrolet.
This 1967 RS/SS COPO clone is currently equipped with the rare 427 cubic inches of all-iron
big-block producing 425 horsepower, backed by an automatic transmission. The exterior is
black with a black/white vinyl interior and factory A/C, currently not working. This outstanding
vehicle has undergone a complete frame-off restoration and is gorgeous throughout.
Excellent example, a must see
great!
great!
