I have a 67 SS. Everything about my car tells me that It's a true SS. However, I was wondering if there was anything on the VIN tag or anywhere else on the car that actually told me that it was. I have the Delux interior and it came with a V8. Any other Decoding help I could get would be appreciated.

VIN tag will only say if it's a V8 car. The info from the trim tag on the firewall should tell quite a bit about the car.

Welcome to Team Camaro Brady! Here's some good reading to start:

If you want more help here, you can post the VIN (just use xxx for the last three digits if you're uncomfortable putting the whole VIN out there) and the cowl tag info, and photos (hosted on Photobucket or one of the other free hosting sites and linked here) of the cowl tag and we can help decode what you've got.

Welcome to team camaro brady!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a nice car..a lot of great people to help you out here!!!

Most SS cars had a H in the bowtie on the glove box tire pressure sticker. Only the SSs had the H sticker.

With a 4p and 3sdl on the tag and a H in the bowtie can I be confident I have a 67 RS/SS

Interesting, thats the first Ive ever heard of the "H" on the glove box sticker. Wonder if CRG has that info. and I just missed it? Cool find. :thumbsup:

atleast enough to know you have either an RS L30/M20, an RS SS 350, an RS z28, or an RS SS 396. However, from what I understand, the z28 and ss396 only used 4p for a very short time until they received their own indication on the 4th group of options. I would be confident at saying rs/ss 350, especially if badges indicate SS 350, the ss hood, and as well as obviously having the rs options, oh and lastly, assuming the tag is legit.

Jim I didn't see the glove box sticker info at CRG. I knew my original tire pressure sticker had an H in the bowtie. When I went to replace it, I seen that most of the suppliers catalogs had the SS sticker listed as an H sticker and the other models had a G stickers.
It was interesting to see that the Camaro was first rated as a 5-passenger car and then on 11-16-66 they changed the rating to 4 passenger. There is two tire pressure stickers available for the 67s depending on the build date of the car.

What is in section 2 for options on the cowl tag. Most importantly the tranny M or L?

Brady,

Look at your trim plate on the firewall, first thing to check is the 5 digit I.D. yours should be 12637 this I.D.'s your car as having deluxe interior from the factory. Next look at the bottom row of number and letter combo's, the very first set should be a number 4 followed with a letter ,if there is an F first that means your car had a remote mirror. ( I don't know why the mirror ended up in the motor section!) There should now be a K,L,N or P. The K or N designates an SS with a big block. Two different HP's so two different I.D.'s. If your car had a small block this would than be a P. The L is for the Z-28's. Hope this helps. Brian

67 SSRS 350
67 Z-28

deadstock, not sure why your talking about a remote mirror??? Brady.....if you post the trim tag information, the guys can tell you everything about your car for options. Or, you can check it out yourself at camaros.org. Their are some things you can check for to ensure it is an SS car, as you will find out in the reading.

Brady,
I can see by one of the responses that someone doesn't understand why I mentioned the mirror when you wanted to verify if you had an SS or not! The Trim Tag has 5 option group sections stamped into it. Each group I.D.'s different options available. If you look at your tag you will see that the bottom two rows of stampings are a combo of numbers preceding letters. Option group 1 is the only one that just contains letters ,no number. There will then be a #2 preceding letters that go with the options available in that group, likewise for group 3 than 4 than 5. Group 4 is the group that tells if the SS option was ordered. If your tag has a 4 followed by either a K,N or P it is an SS. If an F is the only letter that follows the 4, than you have a non-SS car with a remote mirror. Be more than happy to decode your tag for you . Brian

Okay, sorry, I get it now. I thought you were referring to SS car's having a remote mirror and did not understand that at all. I own(ed) two 1967 Camaro's and have researched way too much about them to understand what came on the RS/SS I owned, as for a few days, I thought I may have had a numbers matching RS L30/M20. The first gen Camaro's have taken over my world of classic cars!!!!! Which is a great thing! By far 1967 being the favorite.

He said it has the 4P on the cowl. Mentioned this earlier but If it has an M in option group 2 its an SS for sure. (Couldnt be an L30/M20). If its a 2L then ya gotta dig deepr to be sure.

If the build date on the cowl is prior to Dec 66 then you also know you have an SS. Just post the numbers and we can end the mystery.

You know i never heard anything about an H on the glove box sticker but sure enough i just went and checked my orig 67 rs/ss and it does have a h in the bowtie. Is this something we need to look into or have i just missed it all these years?

That's news to me, but 2 of mine have a R inside the bowtie. No H or G.

My non SS 327 275hp. A/C 02c LOS car has an H in the bowtie.Yes I know it cant be an SS with a 327.

This is something that we have looked at, but have not finished researching. The tire pressure sticker can be a clue to what the car is, but it is by no means definitive. Since the tires that were standard on the SS could have been ordered on any of the models, and that is what the sticker is referring to, than you can not say for sure that the car is an SS or not. You could have also order an SS with white wall tires.

By looking at Bradys Tire Pressure sticker and how old it appeared I would be very confident in saying it is a SS. If it has a 4P on the trim tag and has a 350 with chrome valve covers I would be confident it is a SS. It should have a 12 bolt rear axle.
I believe it is not the tires but the rims that determined the sticker in the glove box. Since only the SS models came standard with 14"X6" rim they either got a H for a 350 or a R for a 396. My car came out with white-wall 7.35 14s and it has a H sticker.

Roger,
I know of several 327 cars that have a H for a tire sticker, cause they got the optional wheels. The sticker ain't proof.

Kurt your right, there were 3667 cars that got the (P12) 14"X6" wheels with the H sticker but if you noticed a car had a 327 you should know its not a SS. I am just saying if a crook would clones a SS and it had anything other then a H or R on the glove box sticker you would suspect its a fake. The sticker is just one more thing to check out if you feel the car is not right.
