1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS

Description

This is the muscle car that refuses to be ignored. Fresh off a restoration, the slick show quality bright red paint, custom-built small block, and wicked exhaust means this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS is one hot convertible that won't last long in our showroom.

This droptop is the perfect combination of vintage looks, mixed with some nice custom touches. The Sapphire Red truly sparkles like a gem on its smooth panels. It has the kind of clearcoat depth that instantly tells people there was a lot invested in making sure this Camaro had paintwork far superior to anything that came out of the '60s. It's a good thing that there is new stainless and chrome all around this car because anything less could never compete with the paint for the attention-grabbing shine. Added to this is a cool custom take on the SS stripe package. Not only does the black match the convertible top, but also this one actually combines the best of the three available factory stripes, and makes one cool continuous flow that will really impress at the car shows. Plus, this wouldn't be a Super Sport without the cowl induction hood, front splitter, and ducktail spoiler. Of course we all love the Rally Sport's hidden headlight package. But as much as these all are cool classic Camaro features, even the more modern car lovers will be admiring the 18" Foose wheels.

If the exterior did not convince you there was a quality restoration done in the last two years, the interior absolutely will. Everything looks clean, black, and fresh, including the door panels, carpeting, and dash panel. The low-back bucket seats look like they are straight from '67, and in between them is the desirable center console. There's also an AM/FM/CD stereo to keep everyone entertained. But the moment you sit down, you know this one was specially built for the driver. It starts with the custom three-spoke steering wheel, which has a thin construction so you can see the large AutoMeter tach behind it. There are more auxiliary gauges mounted in the middle. These are just in front of the ratchet-style shifter that tells you this Camaro will let you choose between comfortable cruising when you want, but performance shifting when it's time to get serious.

In fact, you know this is a serious street machine the moment you turn the key and hear the intimidating rumble of the dual exhaust. This is courtesy of a 350 cubic-inch small block V8 that was rebuilt 6,000 miles ago with some nice power upgrades. This includes a .030 bored over kit, flat top pistons, mild camshaft, ported & polished heads, Edelbrock Victor Jr High-Rise performance intake, Holley 750 CFM carburetor, MSD ignition, and stainless headers. So yes, the engine has plenty of performance to back up its stellar appearance in the engine bay. Getting the power to the ground is GM's reliable TH200-4r four-speed automatic transmission, on its way to the stout 10-bolt rear end. Handling is also well taken care of with a performance four-wheel disc brake package that's connected to modern and grippy Nexen N3000 low profile tires. But if all you want to do is go for a cruise, this Camaro obliges too. It's a power steering car, and the automatic gearbox will even shift into overdrive once you hit highway speeds above 65 MPH.

This first-year Camaro RS/SS convertible looks wicked on the outside, fresh on the inside, and ferocious under the hood. Best of all, this all-around performer is also set up to be the perfect Saturday night cruiser. It's everything you want, but you might want to hurry because this is the Camaro of many other people's dreams also. Call today!!
