Chevrolet built nearly 65,000 Camaro RS units for the 1967 model year, making it the second most common version after the base model, which in its turn accounted for over 121,000 units of the total output of over 220,900 cars.
Of course, this means a first-year Camaro RS isn’t necessarily hard to find, though what you don’t see every day is a numbers-matching model that’s still original without any other fixes received in the meantime.
However, someone on Facebook Marketplace claims they have it, as the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS you’re looking at here has been sitting for over 30 years without anyone touching it.
The car obviously doesn’t come in tip-top shape, though judging from the photos, it actually looks pretty well, especially for a model that hasn’t moved for so long. This is thanks to the storage conditions, the seller says, as it’s been parked away from the sun, snow, or water.
It’s “bone dry,” they say, and it still features the original American steel without any patches, though it’s pretty clear from the photos that certain fixes here and there are still required - check all the photos in the gallery above. But here comes the controversial part.
The owner claims the car is powered by a 327-cubic inch (5.4-liter) V8 engine paired with a Turbo 700r transmission. As others have noticed too, the Turbo 700r launched in 1982, while the 1967 Camaro shipped with a Powerglide as standard, which makes the aforementioned numbers-matching claim rather questionable.
Leaving all this aside, this Chevrolet Camaro is at least worth a look, though there’s something else that might make possible buyers walk away. It’s the price, as the seller expects to get no more, no less than $27,000 for the car. That is a rather ambitious goal given this is a 1967 Camaro that hasn’t been restored just yet.
