1967 Camaro RS / SS Barn Find!

[@c3dk]

Super nice project !!

[@zcam1969]

RS/SS was the car every teenager wanted in 1967

[@randywalker8960]

What a great project car. If they ever want to sell as is I could be interested. Ty for the ride with y’all. 😊

[@phoenixblack1220]

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!

[@damonlinkous]

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]

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

[@10hunterLab]

The hood could be from a 67. I have one on my L35 67 SS 396. It was an optional item.

[@lisavittitow993]

I am envious. I had a new 1968 ss that was stolen in 1974. I still miss it today.

[@jmpsavescars]

That will buff… great video

[@kurtheggelke8352]

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

[@dennisdavis8504]

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

[@chocodiledundee1]

I would kill for a 78 Pint’O, my mate Justin got the same exactly car , same exactly Color same exactly year , also a “REAL BARN FIND “ car was found inside a bird 🦅 cage back in 2021 I’ve got videos of it in my channel! Amazes me how similar USA and South Australia 🇦🇺 are in landscape, Thank you for sharing all the best from South Australia 🇦🇺

[@richardresendez2325]

Looks like a 67 ss Why is there square headlights?

[@zcam1969]

the SS hood is called 'Egg Crate Hood ' in lang. it is a real rally sport though

[@kh750rr]

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!!!!

It’s called rust that’s what it is on the quarter panels

[@bigdaddy9864]

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)

[@onejerkuwant]

It should have a twelve bolt rear end as well.

And multi-leaf rear springs

[@kitkrienke9520]

Only the tag on the firewall will get you a more accurate description of this Camaro. Someone already replaced the sideview mirror and hood trim with a 1968 version…be careful and do your homework. Good luck! 😊

[@derrickgordon1164]

I know it's not important right now but please as soon as you can take those square headlights out of that Camaro !¡!

[@FadedPaintGarage]

It was important and we have already done that! lol

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.

The RS has Hideaway lights

[@markjackson4385]

why are the lights square. they should be round.

[@FadedPaintGarage]

Might have been an 80s custom job. The new owner plans to go back to the original style.

[@johnmckanna1064]

all you need is about 30k now to bring it up to snuff.

[@gavino2250]

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]

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?

[@gavino2250]

@@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....

[@FadedPaintGarage]

​@@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.

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.

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
