1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS 350 4-Speed Time Capsule Muscle Car Of The Week

It’s not a Delorean, but this Camaro SS is a time machine.
Nostalgia is a powerful force, and for the owner of this super cool 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, it’s turned up to 11. You see, this is not only a really cool 1967 Camaro, with it’s factory-installed first year 350 V8, Rally Sport (RS) appearance package, and Super Sport (SS) performance goodies, but it’s a valued family member that has returned to the fold.
The Car
When a car arrives at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop, we like to verify it’s identity to see what we’re working with. This time, the VIN and cowl trim tag spell out how this car was built in the first week of November, and was originally painted Butternut Yellow with matching interior and black vinyl top. The RS SS packages are original, as appears the new for 295 horsepower 350 V8 and 4-speed manual transmission installed at the Los Angeles (Van Nuys) CA plant.
The Story
The owner was fortunate to have some great times in the car “back in the day”, as he and his brother would drive it in high school together. As you can imagine, there are many stories about those days. Unfortunately, his brother is no longer with us, and the Camaro got away from the family. However, our customer’s wife eventually located the car, purchased it, and presented it back to the owner for a very special birthday present. We can only imagine the flood of memories and emotions that day when he slid behind the wheel of this treasured Camaro once again.

Next steps for the Camaro SS
After reviewing the condition of the Camaro, the owner determined he needed a hand to get it back on the road. He contacted us at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop to evaluate it’s condition and create a plan that brings the car right back to the condition it was in back in high school… or maybe a bit nicer! Although originally yellow, the owner’s experience and memories are with it in black, so black it should stay. We’ll go over the car and propose a least-invasive restoration and preservation to make it safe, reliable, and ready to burn up the streets once again.
What’s your car’s story?
The V8 Speed and Resto Shop mission statement is to “connect people with the best times of their lives through things with wheels”, and this is a perfect example. We are honored for the opportunity to work on this prized Camaro SS, and fully understand the significance of cars like these… they all have stories, but some are never known. In the end, it’s really all about the people and good times had with the car.

Spring spreaders in the front springs 😆 I put those in the rear coils of my 70 Olds Cutlass SX when I was 16

[@thefettfan3994]

[@stevenations4362]

I really injoyed this video. I own 2 SSRS350 4speed Camaros one my first car in 1976 the other my wife and I bought in 1984 It’s the twin to this car being yellow then change to black with all the same options except for disc brakes. I like butternut yellow but I can’t change mine from the black. Thanks for your post.

[@grievuspwn4g3]

There's a Ferrari like this: a 250 is bought, raced a bit, then disappears for a bit, then reappears with a Vignale body and races for like a decade, with the new body. The car was later restored to stock and the body moved onto something else (a 275 owned by J Geils of "my angel is a centrefold" fame apparently). So the car is back to insurable stock, but the body with the racing history is somewhere else.

[@louislepage5111]

Get it on the road again

[@quincee3376]

Sweet.

[@johnstecz9169]

Didn't come from the factory with multi leaf rear springs although a great improvement

[@abnerromero7158]

I wonder what a full restoration cost?

[@jebediahgentry7029]

A lot

[@vernhoke7730]

Back in '74, when I got my license and was looking for a car, I found a '67 Camaro for about $900. It wasn't an SS or RS, but it was Butternut Yellow with the black vinyl top and black bumblbee stripe around the nose. Needless to say, the old man said no. It would be 4 years before I got my first, of 6, overall, a 1974 LT.

[@dpierson489]

I might question the 350?? They didn't come out till late 68 ?? First half year 67 came with small journal rotating assembly..

[@JoeSmidt]

It may be the original axle with the rubber isolators removed for the multi leaf spring to fit. Hood, rear spoiler and tail pipes are all 1969 parts. None of those came on a '67. The shifter is a Hurst replacement for the original, junk, Muncie shifter too. Nice car, but the commentator indicated it came with Yellow interior and it is black now. Would like to see the trim tag to know what it was built with, but really, I had a Butternut '67 and didn't like it...too pale of a shade of yellow. Paint it 1970 Corvette Yellow.

[@johnsprague8163]

I didn't see the traction bar from ls of rear-end to bottom of lr floor board was standard on ss cars

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

not original rear end 67 didnt have multileaf

[@naj5338]

SS models did .

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

@@naj5338 wrong .No 67 did.

[@naj5338]

Are you certain? Base models had single leaf springs. In 68 the shocks were staggered and I think base models had dual leaf springs. I thought super sports had 5 leaf springs. Can’t imagine a 396 with single leaf springs out back. That’s what my 327 had.

[@texasbasementbuilds4543]

@@naj5338 trust me. I`ve been restoring 1st gen Camaro for over 40 years specializing in `67s. I have a 67 RS/SS 350 4spd. It has a 12 bolt with mono leaf as all did even 396`s. Please do a little research.

[@naj5338]

@@texasbasementbuilds4543 so there was no multi-leaf set up until 68 and only on SS models?
