This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS is one of those cars that reminds you why original, unrestored survivors still matter. Listed on eBay with a clean title, this RS hardtop wears its age honestly and comes with the kind of mechanical credibility that makes a project feel approachable rather than overwhelming.

According to the seller, this Camaro retains its matching-numbers 327 V8 paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission. Power steering is present, and the car still features its factory Rally Sport hideaway headlights, one of the most recognizable options offered on first-generation Camaros. These early RS cars have a distinct presence, even when they aren’t perfect, and this one leans into that appeal.

The Camaro was originally finished in Turquoise and received a repaint back in the 1980s. The seller notes that the car has otherwise remained largely untouched, which shows in the way it’s described — more survivor than restoration candidate. After sitting for roughly four decades, the car was recently brought back to life and now runs and drives well, something that can’t be said for every long-stored first-gen Camaro.

To help with that revival, several key components have already been replaced. The car now has a new 650 carburetor, a complete brake system overhaul, a new fuel pump and gas tank, a fresh battery, and new Cooper tires mounted on American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels. These updates go a long way toward making the Camaro usable while still leaving room for a future owner to decide how far to take it.

Structurally, the seller reports that the frame and rockers are solid, though the passenger-side floor pans will need attention. Rust is present, which isn’t surprising given how long the car sat exposed to the elements, but it’s described as a car you can still enjoy driving in its current state. That balance — usable now, restorable later — is exactly what many enthusiasts look for.

The seller even mentions something longtime show-goers already know: original survivors often draw just as much attention as fully restored cars, sometimes more. A Camaro like this, especially one that starts, runs, and drives, tends to stop people in their tracks because it still tells its story.

This isn’t a finished car, and it’s not pretending to be. What it is, though, is a genuine 1967 Camaro RS with matching numbers, solid bones, and the kind of character that only comes from time. Whether someone chooses to restore it back to factory specs or simply enjoy it as an honest driver, it offers a strong foundation either way.


Nice write-up.
Flashbacks to HS in ’73. What was just a used set of wheels then…now, just a $20k used car…with issues to be addressed.
Really rusty, hardly a survivor, even less so when the sheet metal and interior are fixed. There are better places to spend $20,000.

This has rust-through everywhere and ratty interior. The only reason this car hasn’t kept a date with the crusher is because it’s a Camaro.
