This is a very special 1967 Camaro. Not only is it a real RS, it's got an awesome color combination that's subtle yet striking, a manual gearbox, and a strong-running small block V8. Not enough? Then take a good, long look at the quality that went into the restoration and then double-check the price. This one is a keeper!
The cowl tag says this one was originally code E Deepwater Blue, but now looks to be a very handsome shade closer to Marina Blue. It clearly gives the car an upscale look that won't be seen at every show. Restored by the experts at Corvette Country, the bodywork is beautifully done with crisp, sharp detailing and a lot of effort invested in getting the sheetmetal to look its best. A fully functional cowl induction hood gives this subtle F-body a slightly aggressive look and the RS hidden headlights combined with front and rear spoilers give it a performance look that defines the early Camaro. It was treated to an SS upgrade during the restoration, including the blacked-out grille, white stripe around the nose and requisite SS emblems as needed. Nicely finished bumpers with bumper guards, polished stainless rocker moldings, and proper RS taillights round out a very well finished Camaro ragtop.
The code 797-K Black and Parchment custom bucket seat interior is the car's original selection and now you can better understand why the Marina Blue paint was selected for the exterior. It's all new inside, of course, but the patterns, colors, and textures are accurately reproduced and the handsome black inserts on the seats add an upscale look. It shows almost zero wear since the restoration was completed about 200 miles ago and remains quite stock throughout save for a modern AM/FM/cassette stereo in place of the original AM unit in the center stack. Auxiliary gauges are neatly installed on the center console, the usual location in early Camaros, and there's a Hurst cue ball knob on top of the 4-speed shifter, making this F-body a lot of fun to drive. A fresh white convertible top fits superbly and is as tight as a drum, while the trunk is correctly detailed with a reproduction mat.
