Not all that many classic Camaros rolled off the assembly line bearing the dual distinctions worn by this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS 350, and most of them have long since fallen by the wayside. And, not only does this vintage Chevy combine the hidden headlights, a special front grille, and other appearance upgrades with enhanced power and a more action-oriented suspension that come via its elevated status, but it also features a level of factory-correctness that's truly hard to come by. As if this didn't set it apart enough, its Royal Plum paint represents an original Chevy color offering that was only available the year it rolled out, so this is one singular ride we have right here. It arrives at the present looking thoroughly refreshed, with its paint holding a deep shine, accented by razor-sharp accent stripes and vibrant bright work, with a contrasting white vinyl top that's in matching condition.
The interior has undergone a full restoration while keeping its factory configuration well intact, with black, vinyl-clad front bucket seats that are in impressive shape, wearing white accenting stripes that still look as fresh as they did when the covers were first installed. The buckets straddle a very clean center console that features a T-handle shifter and the trio of gauges that came to be a coveted factory design element when this Camaro first rolled out. The overall functionality inside the doors is impressive. The instrument gauges work as intended, the interior lighting illuminates on cue, and the windows roll up and down without incident.
As you raise the hood, don't let the stock configuration of the engine compartment lead you to the conclusion that this Chevy hasn't seen the attention needed to keep it running in top mechanical form. Its 350-cubic-inch V8 is fed by a 4-barrel Quadrajet carburetor and is running smooth and strong, sending a nice, rich note out of the dual exhaust and combining with a 2-speed automatic Powerglide transmission to provide an outstanding experience behind the wheel. Power steering makes this vintage muscle car easy to maneuver, and the upgraded suspension that comes via its elevated Super Sport status yields strong cornering ability.
