I have a 1969 Camaro that appears to be a RS. It has the headlights and all the vacuum equipment/hoses/canisters intact. It also has the RS taillights with back up lights below the bumper. What is the no doubt easiest way to tell if it is a true RS?

You nailed all the big ones....

Check for a 1" hole and grommet in the firewall near where the booster mounts. The grommet should have 2 vacuum lines running through it. If the 1" hole is there...then I would say it is a good sign...

I believe all RS had chrome drip rails on the
roof, wheel well chrome trim and side gill
trim.....

Well guys, my car has passed all these tests and the 1" grommet is definitely there and not a hack job. I guess there's a better than average chance it's a real RS. Thanks!
