First of all, thanks for the help (in advance). Second, I am sure I missed a lot of online reference help, so I am a little lazy for posting here, but I did try for a couple of hours.

OK!

I have a 67 convertible -- the engine in it is a 327 -- it is a replacement as the number does not match the VIN. The car is an RS for sure, and *may* be an SS. What I do not know is:

1. is it REALLY an SS? and
2. what was the size of the original engine?

here is what I know...

- TH400 transmission -- not sure if it matches VIN
- 12-bolt POSI rear-end
- 3/8in fuel line
- front disc brakes

So I don't know if someone built this up to be an SS clone or if it really was/is an SS. And, if it is, what size engine went in it???

If anyone has some helpful hints I would sure appreciate it!

thanks

Post the VIN and all the numbers from the cowl tag (above the master cylinder) and we can decode it for you.

2 = Camaro
4 = 8-cylinder engine
67 = convertible body
7 = 1967 model year
N = Norwood, OH assembly plant
118422 = vehicle serial number sequence

Decode for body number: 018410

F-1 = Lower Color is Marina Blue and the Convertible Top Color is White.

The car is not an SS. But it is an RS. Should have a 327 in it. Do you have the number from the engine?

Thanks for the info!

The 327 motor does not have matching numbers and is running poorly. I am replacing it with a fast burn 385 GM 350ci crate.

I think I will rebadge this as an RS, it has SS tags on it now. do you think it had a bumblebee paint job on the nose, and/or did it have a hockey stick stripe?

thanks

No stripes for that early of a car. It did have pin stripes on the side. Could you send me the engine number and axle number for CRG's data base?
Thanks,
Daniel
