Overview:

Offered for consignment is this stunning 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS, a car that has been carefully restored and modified for performance and reliability. Originally purchased from a long distance and carefully brought to life, this Camaro now boasts a new 350ci V8 engine, upgraded with electronic fuel injection for added performance. This is a true Z22 RS, finished in its original Bolero Red and featuring the iconic hidden headlights. It’s a well-rounded, powerful, and enjoyable example of one of the most iconic muscle cars of the era.

Exterior:

The car is resprayed in a striking two-stage Bolero Red, a color that enhances its aggressive styling. The black nose stripe and the hidden headlights—perhaps the defining feature of the RS package—give the Camaro an unmistakable, sinister appearance. The headlight doors retain the geometric grille pattern, reinforcing the car’s sharp look. A cowl hood adds an additional layer of menace, while a 327 badge on the fender (though no longer accurate) provides a nod to the car’s original configuration. The rear features solid red taillights, with the reverse lights integrated into the lower valance, characteristic of the RS variant. This Camaro sits on 15-inch rally wheels with slightly wider tires in the rear, giving it a commanding presence on the road. Overall, the exterior, including the paint, metalwork, and bumpers, remains in excellent condition with only minor touch-ups and a small dent on one wheel well trim.

Interior:

The interior is finished in a matching red theme, with standard red door panels in excellent condition. The only minor imperfection is slight warping of the armrest/door pull. The stock red vinyl bucket seats are in great shape, as is the back bench with three sets of seatbelts. The 3-spoke steering wheel, also in red, features the RS center cap, and the dual gauge set in the dashboard lets you monitor the speed (up to 120 mph), fuel capacity, and other key information through simple “idiot lights.” The center stack houses the vent/heat controls and an AM/FM radio. The center console contains the automatic transmission shifter, which features a T-shaped handle and a small storage bin behind it. The red loop carpet is in great condition and protected by Camaro-branded floor mats, and the trunk is similarly carpeted in red loop material. The headliner is tight and wrinkle-free, offering a clean, uniform look.

Drivetrain:

After battling ongoing issues with the original 327 engine, the owner upgraded the Camaro to a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, enhancing both reliability and performance. The car retains its original Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission, and the 10-bolt rear axle provides solid performance. The front brakes are disc, while the rear brakes are drums, offering solid stopping power. The engine bay is clean and show-worthy, with the engine block and valve covers painted orange and a chrome Edelbrock air filter cover.

Undercarriage:

The undercarriage is clean and well-maintained, with only surface rust present on the front control arms. The dual exhaust system runs from the manifolds to Turbo mufflers, and exits through downward-facing tailpipes before the rear valance. The front suspension features coil springs, while the rear is equipped with a mono-leaf spring. A small amount of residual oil is noted on the oil pan, flywheel cover, and transmission pan, but nothing that suggests any major issues.

Drive-Ability:

This Camaro drives as good as it looks. The engine fires right up, and the exhaust produces a wonderful tone that complements the car’s performance. The simple interior design and good visibility make it a joy to drive. The 350ci V8 engine offers more than enough power, and the car accelerates, turns, and stops with confidence. Everything is in working order, from the functional crank windows to the responsive handling.

Summary:

With its hidden headlights and aggressive styling, the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS is a truly iconic muscle car. This particular example has been thoughtfully upgraded with a more powerful 350ci V8 engine and electronic fuel injection, making it a reliable and fun driver. Whether you’re a collector or simply someone looking for a well-maintained, powerful classic, this Camaro RS offers both style and substance in spades. Come see it today at Classic Auto Mall!
