I will be looking at a car tomorrow and he claims it is an RS SS.

I have heard that the 67s have codes to tell you if it had the SS options as well as if it had the RS options.

Can someone give me a link or info for this so that when I look at it I can look for the correct signs?

Thanks
Tim

The quick way to tell is from the information on the trim tag which is located on the firewall above the master cylinder. If you will post that information here we can tell you all sorts of things about your car.

Scott.

Go to www.camaros.org (http://www.camaros.org) and burn off a copy of the 67 trim tag info. Take it with you when you go, or memorize what needs to be where so that way you can see how honest the seller will be with you.

If it is a true RS/SS car it should have disk brakes up front, a 12 bolt, and the factory traction bar on the right rear.

I agree with some of that. http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif
See 'Decoding' on our website for a breakdown of the 67 trim codes.

Disc brakes were optional on a 67 or 68 SS .
Should have a 12 bolt, but a L30/M20 car can have a 12 bolt too.
The radius rod was not used in production until about December, so early cars won't have it.

Thanks for the info.

Does it have to be a 12 bolt?

He says it is a turbo hydro trans. Did they have a turbo 350 available in 67?

If it is an SS, it has to be a 350 or a 396, correct?


He told me it has power disc brakes and quick ratio power steering.

The 12 bolt rear end was optional so it could have a 10 bolt and still be an SS.

The Turbo 350 was optional in 67.

If it is an SS it will have originally have had a 350 or 396 engine.

Scott.

One more thing. You really want to look for the option group 4 code. If there is a 4P, 4K or 4N on the cowl tag then there is a very good chance that it is an SS. Although the absence of these codes does not always mean that it is not an SS.

Scott.

Again, I agree with some of that. http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif
A 12 bolt is required on a SS in 67 and 68. It was never optional and there was no RPO for it. There have been rumored exceptions, but none have documentation.

Yes, a SS is either a 350 or a 396.

The TH350 was introduced in 69. It was not available in 67. It was either a glide (350) or a 400 (396).

The 4P should be there to be a SS. The early SS350 cars may not have it. But not all 2L 4P cars are SS's. Could be L30/M20's. Any BB car must have the 4K or 4N on the tag.

See the 67ID table on CRG.

And post the VIN and trim tag #'s and we'll take a look.

Thanks guys . . .
I know he said it had a 10 bolt.

he claims he knows its worth a lot because he knows what it is.

We shall see.

I will post info as soon as I can friday night or saturday.

Tim

forgot to say he also said the turbo 350 came stock because it was a late production???

The TH350 did have a pilot launch at the end of the 68 model year. It came in some 68 L30 Camaros. Not too many were made, not sure I've ever seen a car with it in.
None in 67.
Sound like it may be deep wading......

Kurt, you would know cause you da man!! http://www.camaros.net/forum/biggrin.gif

Good luck Ratchetmaster, hope it is a true RS/SS. Beware of the seller though. I once had the chance to by an 67 RS/SS about 2 years ago. It was a bank repo and they were accepting sealed bids. I lost out by a crummy $100.00 http://www.camaros.net/forum/frown.gif Good luck!!

Well
I never got to see the car . . . when I called him after ariving in his town, He told me that he dropped it off at the body shop to have the car painted. He had decided to keep the car.

I asked him about the engine in his car and he said it was a 327. I then stated, "Oh, then it isn't really an SS then??" and he reluctantly said, "No, but it has some of the sS stuff on the car."

Well, on to the next find!! http://www.camaros.net/forum/smile.gif
