Yep. Don't know about 67 but you could get one in 68 and 69. Something like 100 were ordered each year. They are different for each year and I think this one is for a 69 and it will probably go over $1000 by the end of the auction.

I had a 69 L78 convert that came with one. It also had a power top and used a double bezel switch.

The 1967 AIM shows RPO-C50 option with the switch assembly (variable speed control) using the Power Convertible Top-Lift Switch hole for a mounting point and a 'note' in the title "Except Convertible".
I know this isn't definitive as other discrepances have shown up in the AIM.
I've seen a 1968 with this option but not a 67.

Coach, In the Dobbins/Incremona book titled Camaro:1967-1969 Fact Book, on page 49 they have a picture of the rear defroster in a 67 ragtop. Ed

How would that work? There is only one hole for the power top switch.

The hole in the dash has to be elongated to accept the combo top/defog bezel.

I used to have a copy of that book. I lent it out and haven't seen it for years. Are they still available? Or is there something better? Thanks!
