  • 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @FadedPaintGarage
      @FadedPaintGarage  Před rokem +3

      Thanks! We decoded the engine block and it's not the original, it's a few years newer and from a pickup.

      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?

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....

    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
