- In this episode we go on a road trip to retrieve a first generation 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS / SS 350 4 speed car from a barn out in the middle of nowhere.
1967 was the first year of the Camaro, they are very similar to the Pontiac Firebirds of the same era. This body style went from 1967, 1968 and ended in 1969. There were base models, RS, SS, RS/SS, Z/28's and COPO's available depending on the year. The RS and SS packages could be combined.
Engines available throughout these years were 230, 250, 302, 307, 327, 350, 396 and the 427. Transmissions available were the Power Glide, TH400, M20 and M21.
The body tag on this particular car includes these marks:
O1C T
67-12637 NOR
779-Z K-K
W 2LGS 3L
4P 5Y
Since this car was built in January at Norwood and has 2L + 3L + 4P it might only be an RS with a L30 275hp 327cid engine and 4 speed manual transmission instead of the RPO L48 295hp 350cid SS.
The engine was found to not be correct for the year, it's an early 70's 350.

Super nice project !!
RS/SS was the car every teenager wanted in 1967
What a great project car. If they ever want to sell as is I could be interested. Ty for the ride with y’all. 😊
You have yourself a genuine RS/SS-350 there my friend. I would agree, I doubt the engine is original, but you have a nice base to work with. Deluxe seat belts, manual transmission car. Very cool!
That will buff… great video
I am envious. I had a new 1968 ss that was stolen in 1974. I still miss it today.
the SS hood is called 'Egg Crate Hood ' in lang. it is a real rally sport though
Hidden headlights was a Rally Sport option. Should be able to tell by the tail panel; reverse lights should be in the lower valence panel. Could be a clone but... Very good start. This car is really something! Good luck and have fun with it.
It’s a shame GM didn’t better designate their body codes and options. Person can get burned badly on a purchase
1st generation and 2nd generation camaros did not have square headlights. There's 68 hood fins,guages and a 69 steering wheel 67 did not have that square mirror. So far looks like a real rs
Nice inheritance! Besides the rectangle headlights, it's got the hood and drivers mirror from a 68. I was hoping you had included a shot of the cowl tag on the firewall. The engine block would have a code stamped on a pad, just below the front of the passenger head . That code (like V0216ME) tells the engine assembly date and what kind of car it was originally installed.
Thanks! We decoded the engine block and it's not the original, it's a few years newer and from a pickup.
The hood could be from a 67. I have one on my L35 67 SS 396. It was an optional item.
Nova steering wheel
Love the episode. Odd request for you guys. If that trunk lid is Grenada Gold (and it appears to be), and still wearing its' original paint, I am interested in buying it and sending you a new AMD decklid to boot!!!!
Ummmm, good luck with that.
Or the optional 396 🤘🏼.
you don't know wth you are talking about
It’s called rust that’s what it is on the quarter panels
gen z /min want to LS every thing !!! Keep it a 327 or 396 !!! that is a 67 RS by back up lights in tail pan and dose have SS hood , steering column is wrong year (70 or newer)
Clearance for the HEI distributor
Looks like a 67 ss
Why is there square headlights?
6 cylinder 3 on the 🌲
14:54 - Trim tag 3L = Rally Sport, 4P = 350 Motor
NOR - Mad in Norwood, Ohio
It should have a twelve bolt rear end as well.
And multi-leaf rear springs
The RS has Hideaway lights
I had an rs ss this one missing many things or incorrect parts to be right only #s would tell story its a nice camaro though
why are the lights square. they should be round.
Might have been an 80s custom job. The new owner plans to go back to the original style.

square mirror?
i have a story for u . i do a lot of hauling cars off people places so they can put it up for sell a lot of ranches. i go to a 6,000,000 ranch and they had some rigs for me to haul off some in the shop and some outside and lots of parts because the old man liked to work on rigs. in the shop they had a 79 chevy cheyenne full option truck shot box in mint condition but did not run needed a new fuel pump and carb clean 400 sbc 400 turbo under 35,000 miles on it , then a half restored 67 ss rs 427 yenko next to it looks like someone just started to work on it a 68 ss 396 camaro next to it 2 79 z28's one was a z28 rs t top about 5 engines bunch of new parts and chrome trim for camaro's outside 15 pu's fords and chevy's 67 to 72 models then a big ass motor home they said i could have a roll away tool box full of tool air tool tire changer then they gave me a bunch of sheets of steel all just haul it away for free in one month time i call it my holly grail find.
wow, talk about a once in a life time find! That is awesome!
@@FadedPaintGarage that was one crazy month for me
all you need is about 30k now to bring it up to snuff.
I know it's not important right now but please as soon as you can take those square headlights out of that Camaro !¡!
It was important and we have already done that! lol
This may possibly be an RS but it's not an SS.
I'm not very knowledgeable on Camaros but this car has 3L and 4P on the tag. BUT it was built in January in Norwood so it might be an RS 327 and not an RS / SS 350 as I'm finding 4P didn't mean SS until October?
Don't confuse RS with SS ... they are not the same though similiar still not the same.... i had a 1967 Camaro RS long ago

@@FadedPaintGarage the RS had the front end isignia chrome and the gas cap in the back has also the "RS" chrome isignia, it came with a 327 cu in engine and Powerglide Transmission... The smiliar "SS" (SuperSport) would the same chrome isignia but their engines varied 327 to 350 cu in and usually had the Saginaw three-speed manual transmission. A Muncie four-speed manual was also available. If automatic it was a Turbo Hydra-Matic 350....
@@gavino2250 Thanks for the info! Everything you mentioned has been removed or replaced on this car, all emblems are missing, someone put in square headlights, it's a basket case that's had a rough life. It was a factory 4 speed car though, is has code 2L on the tag.
No th350 in 1967
@@FadedPaintGarage you very close👍🏼 I had and RS 327 with a Powerglide Transmission
The 350 was not available in '67. It likely came with a 327 or a BB 396. Nice car anyway it goes.
The L48 350 engine was available in the SS models. The two 396 engines were an upgrade if customer didn't want 350.
They made 221000 rare I guess
@@yesmaybe3791 I stand corrected. Learn something everyday I guess.
@@danjeys4999 Camaro's or 350's?
@@johnthompson1978 The number of 1967 Camaros produced.
Make better a video about the ford f100 1956 👌
i was watching till he said. ls, im out
Certainly an RS but certainly not an SS, no brake valve on the frame rail another clue is no dual exhaust support plate, it has 68 speedometer gauge housing in it
How much did you pay???
It was inherited, it's been in their family for 40 years.
