Designed to compete with the Ford Mustang, the original Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in the fall of 1966 for the 1967 model year, and was based on the GM F-body platform. This first-generation 1967 Camaro RS/SS Convertible has been refinished in Capri Cream with a black convertible top over a black vinyl and grey velour interior. It is reported to have been built at the Van Nuys, CA assembly plant, spent time in Mexico from 1967 to 1978, became part of a private collection for 41 years in a controlled environment, and recently spent the past year becoming road-ready. Factory equipped with the optional RS Appearance Package and SS Performance Package, this Camaro Convertible is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas.
This Camaro RS/SS is said to have been previously refinished in Capri Cream from its original Carmine White color. Details include a power-operated black convertible soft top, driver and passenger side mirrors, tinted windows, the RS package, and SS package. The RS package equips electronically operated headlight covers, revised taillights, “RS” badging, and exterior bright trim. In addition to its performance features, the SS package equips hood vents and accenting nose striping along with fender, grille, and fuel cap badging. It rides on chrome, black, and silver-finished 14” American Racing Equipment wheels dressed in new BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial Redline tires. The seller notes that the driver’s side door glass has been chipped on the top, but that the glass has been adjusted so it no longer rubs. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

The cabin presents black vinyl and grey velour upholstery with aftermarket seat covers. Equipment includes front bucket seats, an optional factory center console, power windows, lap belts, a 3-spoke steering wheel, a cue ball shift knob, and a locking glovebox. The air conditioning unit is said to have recently been refurbished to factory specifications. The seller notes that all gauges and accessories are working properly with the exception of the clock. Some surface rust is noted inside the trunk.
This Camaro RS/SS is equipped with a replacement 350ci V8 engine that sends its power to the rear wheels through its original Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. It is reported to have been serviced with a new radiator, intake manifold, four-barrel carburetor, and clutch kit. Additionally, the car is said to have been serviced throughout the past year including refurbishment of the suspension and braking systems.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “It is a one-of-a-kind car, totally original and unmolested, some surface rust inside the trunk that I did not want to clean because is part of the patina, all the rubber seals are original, the top is new with all new seals and is running great, everything works as it should be."

THIS MIGHT ALSO HELP:
The block casting numbers on small block and big block Chevy V-8 motors are located on a ledge found at the rear of the block, most often on the driver's side. This ledge is below the deck of the block and the ledge forms the mating surface between the block and the transmission bellhousing. Some of the later model blocks have the casting number on the passenger side of this ledge.
The number itself can have 6, 7 or 8 numeral digits. They might look like this “361959” or “3970010” or “14015445”. The block casting numbers do not have any letters in them. There are sometimes other individual letters found on blocks like “GM” or “CFD” for the Central Foundry Division, but they are not part of the block casting number. Also some of the later blocks have the size of the motor shown in liters. You may see a “5.0” (305) or “5.7” (350) cast on the rear ledge of a smallblock or a “7.4” on the side of a big block 454.

@Enriquesnel The casting number will be on the block, so you can read it by looking down and just in front of the firewall. It will be on the block and not behind the block, at the same level as the bottom of the cylinder head and it will be a raised casting as it was casted in the iron block when it was poured into its mold. I can send you a photo example but I do not know how to get you the image.
@JoTurbo is that number on the side of the block or it will be facing the firewall
@Enriquesnel Perfect and thank you as I now see the cowl tag photo. N217 is part of the production tracking code. It was used by the manufacturer of the body, Fisher, to track the vehicle as it went along the assembly line so for us, it is not much use. Also, that engine “casting number” (HBO…) is actually the ID stamping, the casting code is raised and will be on the back of the block(just visible enough) on the drivers side. The casting code may give us a lot of useful info on the engine as it could tell use the year, the displacement, 2 or 4 bolt main and even what type of vehicle it was in from a car, truck or wagon.
OPTIONS FROM FACTORY :
A/C, TILT STEERING, SS GAUGES, CENTER CONSOLE, BLACK CUSTOM BUCKET SEATS, BLACK TOP, DELUXE SEAT BELTS, POWER WINDOWS, TINTED WINDOWS, RALLY SPORT EQUIPMENT & CORRECT CODE FOR SS350.
@JoTurbo The Cowl Tag is there and I believe that "4P" is the correct code for 350SS, sorry about my miss spelling of the Color, English is not my first language. I think the car is one of a kind just because it is a 56 old car with CERO RUST and that is very significant, even in the tub where the top lays is clean is a very SOLID CAR. Looks like you know a lot about these cars, can you tell me what is the N217 in the top right of the plate. Thank you for your follow up and comments.

@Enriquesnel I am interested in bidding with serious intent to buy but quite frankly you sir give me reservations with your replies. Specifically: 1) "original" GM 350 CID engine. It's not the original engine as you confirmed. 2) Now you are claiming "5,500 RPM's that is the red line." How do you know this when you can't find any information on your "HBO210271" engine? I'm just trying to gather correct information from a reliable source. It would have been much better if you would have just said "a replacement GM 350 CID engine with casting numbers HBO210271". It's okay if you don't know something. The car is 56 years old so who really knows all of its history? I too have researched the casting number you have provided and i can't find anything relating to "HBO". By the Vin I can tell you that the fourth digit "4" means it was originally a V8 car as represented and by the seventh digit "L" I can tell it was built in Los Angeles, which was also represented. A picture of the cowl tag would reveal a lot more but I can tell you that in 1967 there was never a "Carmine White" as it was "Ermine White". I am not trying to stump you, I am trying to justify a series bid with intent to buy. Note: none of my replies are in all caps. GLWTS
@JoTurbo I tried to research the Engine Casting Number with no luck at all, the engine casting number is HBO210271, it will be loaded into the pictures later on. The only thing I know about the engine, is that it runs very well at 5,500 RPM's that is the red line.
@Enriquesnel Oh okay, it still very unclear by your response, especially by your response, "it has another original GM 350 CID engine". What do you mean by "another original GM 350 CID engine"? A GM 350 engine came in many vehicles, with varying horsepower. Some were in station wagons and pickups and some in muscle cars. Some had 4 bolt mains and some had 2 bolt mains and some came with cams for 2 barrel carbs but people put 4 barrel carbs on them from time to time without recamming them. So what motor does this car have in it and whats the block casting numbers as that will help solve this mystery. There should be 7 numbers in a casting (not stamped) and if we are lucky they will be 3892657, because that's the casting for a 1967 350 CID Chevy motor
@JoTurbo The answer is NO, I wish I had that block, it will be a Matching Numbers Car and it would be running in the car, thank you for your interest.
Hello, Please clarify for me? Are you including the original numbers matching block in the deal as well?
Bid in the amount of $20,000
@Snobird For a 56 year old car is basically original, it has another original GM 350 CID engine. If I wanted to be misleading, I would never have put that in the description, thank you for your comment!
Totally miss-leading with the comment “totally original and unmolested”
How can this be “totally original” if it does not have it’s original engine?
@KME1965 No they are not, it has drums all around, thank you for looking!
Are the brakes upgraded to disc.
@1978911sctarga Ermine White was the original color
ermine white
Hi, I'm the seller, any comments and/or questions are fully appreciated, thank you for looking and good luck!!
