First-generation (1967-1969) Chevrolet Camaros never fail to please. They never seem to run out either as the more you look, the more you find. Today’s ’67 discovery by rex m is an SS convertible, with the Rally Sport (RS) package and it’s in project form. What kind of project form you ask? Good question! Follow me along and I’ll fill you all in. This Camaro convertible is located in Morongo Valley, California and is available, here on craigslist for $14,999.

First up, the seller refers to this Camaro as “very rare” – well isn’t that special. No, it’s really not that rare at all. According to NastyZ28, Chevrolet produced 34K Camaro SS models in ’67 with a total convertible volume, all trim levels, of 25K. As for the RS package, which included hideaway headlights, nicer door panels, and some additional trim, that option generated 64K units. Parse it all down and obviously, an RS/SS convertible is going to be limited still but not one that would qualify as very rare.

OK, so obviously the header panel is missing – seems like an odd thing to be missing, and the front bumper is outta here too. There is some rust here and there, the seller describes it by claiming, “Rust is not that bad. A great project car… See pictures of minor rust in the trunk, Left rear quarter panel has rust damage due to what looks like a blown-out tire, non-matching right front fender, substandard paint on the right side of the car“. Seems like a pretty accurate assessment though I would mention too that the A-pillar, near the header, is showing a rather sizeable rust hole. Interesting wheels, I have seen them before but can’t recall who made them or what they’re called.

A 1967 SS model meant a 295 gross HP, 350 CI V8 engine (the 350’s first year!) and that’s what the fender badge proclaims. Not so fast, however, as this RS/SS should probably translate into Really Slow or Super Slow as this Chevy is a no-go, it has no engine. Yup, it’s a roller that also had a four-speed manual transmission at one time. Interestingly, the seller states that the transmission is missing but the gear shift is still in place – no idea what holding it there.

Speaking of the gear shift, get a load of that thing, it looks like the brake lever on a 20 mule team wagon – you could get a back seat rider to do the shifting while you work the clutch. It’s a typical SS interior with its two-tone trim but unfortunately, it’s going to need a complete redo but at least the floors appear to be sound. It does, however, have the cool auxiliary gauge option and RS door panels with molded-in armrests. The Chevrolet wood steering wheel is a nice addition too.

The seller concludes his listing with, “This car will be worth a small fortune someday. It’s been in my family for 30 years, if I hadn’t lost my business and needed to move out of Ca I would not be selling” – you can read is very last suggestion as time permits. No doubt about it, a model as such will bring a tidy sum, but it’s going to take time, effort, and a lot of Benjamins to get there. Worth it? I’d say sure, especially based on some of the Camaro hulks that I’ve encountered. This one has potential, wouldn’t you agree?
