Needs Finishing: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

This 1967 Camaro has come out of storage after 40 years. We’re told that 95% of the bodywork needed was done by the seller before and after its hibernation. It’s also said to be a good running vehicle, but all the photos seem to depict an ongoing project. Whatever the case, this project Chevy can be found in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and is available here on eBay where the current bid is $7,600 and the reserve is nowhere near being met since the Buy It Now price is $45,000. Oh, did I mention that the seller also thinks it’s a Super Sport, which would sweeten the pot?

The Camaro was Chevy’s answer to the Ford Mustang, which took the automotive world by storm in 1965. Two years later, the Camaro would debut and quickly establish itself as the #2 player in the field, at least into the 1970s. More than 220,000 copies of the ’67 Camaro were sold and nearly 65,000 units came with the Rally Sport option, like this one. The seller speculates that this car could also be a Super Sport as it has the SS’s new and exclusive 350 cubic inch V8, which went into some 29,000 1967 Camaro’s.

It will take a bit of sorting out to decipher the seller’s listing, but he/she gets a lot of credit for being as thorough and as accurate as possible. If this car is an SS, it’s wearing the right hood, but from the wrong year (1968 or 1969). We don’t know if the good running 350 V8 is original, but if it is, then that supports the seller’s claim is this is a Rally Sport/Super Sport combo Camaro. A 4-speed Muncie manual transmission is in place. We gather that the seller has had the car north of 40 years and much of the work dates that far back. A few little holes underneath still need to be worked out.

According to the seller, this auto took its first spin on the road earlier this year after four decades. That’s fine and dandy, but all the photos suggest the car is still a work in progress. That could have been clarified with some pics out in the daylight. There is a lot of newer stuff here to brag about, such as the Hooker Headers and exhaust, but if the seller wants a less aggressive sound, he/she has a Plan B exhaust to throw in. If this Camaro and its price tag are of interest to you, read the seller’s description carefully. Seems like a lot of good stuff is waiting to be found.

      Most likely so. If my aunt had a d*** she would be my uncle, but he not showing us his d***, so it’s more like my aunt in drag.

    It seems like barn finds is in place to ramp up the cost of mediocre cars. Every enthusiast knows what’s involved with restoring one of these. 45,000 isn’t even worth a comment! Get real and manage your own hedge fund! Or cryptocurrency! Or Ponzi scheme! I’m not buying it!

      I took my $45,000(originally $40k) and put it in a cd at 5.15% yesterday after cashing out the previous 4.05% rate.
      I find an ever increasing number of mediocre $10-15,000 vehicles here asking for crazy prices. Yesterday I saw a fully completed 1968 Caprice with a non matching 402/396, 400 tranny, original paint, straight body, excellent shape car for $28,000. I had a completely original one(327/300hp) that was stolen so I look at them occasionally.
      After all, they are not made of gold.

    It’s not a SS/RS as the SS package supersedes the RS package meaning that it would adorn all SS badging including the SS 350 on grill, SS on the front edge of fenders , SS on the steering wheel, SS gas cap

      Have to agree with you Mike. If it’s an SS why would it have all RS trim markings? The 327 came with an RS. The 350 only with the SS. Doubtful this is the original engine because the alternator is mounted on the other side of the engine with the 350.
      I have owned a 67 RS/SS since 1975, a few years before my MOPAR career began.
      Why would anyone change all the trim emblems from SS to RS?

        However, something is very strange about this car because the trim code certainly indicates an RS/SS vehicle, but maybe not from this car.

    More than half of the Camaros built were from Norwood. That does not mean they all stayed in Ohio to rust. I am in California and all 3 of mine are Norwood built

      As a West Coaster myself, and a person that has owned and seen a few old cars – the rustiest ones are from this place called “the rust belt” and the East Coast. Salt. Road salt. Prevalent in the Midwest to the East Coast and now being used in Oregon and who knows where else. I have had a couple of East Coast cars that were not winter driven that were really good, notably a ‘32 Ford from Penn that was a Dearborn Award winner.
      I’ve never seen a gen 1 Camaro sold NEW in the PNW that originally came from the Norwood plant, ever. It doesn’t take many seasons in the salt to get the tin worm going. I, myself, dislike rust and rot, and do whatever I can to stay away from it.
      Sounds like you’ve had great luck with them, but personally? I stay away from a NOR F Body, as well as most any vehicles originally from the Midwest to the East Coast. But that’s just me. :-)

        I’m in Portland, and not every Chevy delivered new here came from a CA plant. Two of the Impalas I ordered were Janesville, WI built, and a friend’s 72 Camaro was a Norwood car.

    I don’t know about y’all but something needs to be done with these prices that people keep asking for these wrecks.they have gone higher than real estate and that has gone crazy. I guess that if there are crazy people that have more money than brains and are willing to part with it than these greedy people will just keep going higher and people like barret jackson don’t make matters any easier.this guy here isn’t willing to part with his hard earned.

    The problem is everywhere that wanted 67 to 72 or 73 muscle cars is now starting to make money and can afford to plunk down a wide on a project that will sit in the garage for a while. Look at the prices of the 50s and early ’60s cars and those are actually a lot of them are going down. Or invest in some 1980s irocs or El caminos. Supply and demand.

    I agree with Mike g .This is a true r s and it’s all its ever gonna be.someone put the tag on it to say otherwise,as well as the 350 motor.The motor probably come from the 68 that the hood came from.its time to fess up and return this rally sport to its original form.rember all ss cameras had 12 bolt rear ends.

    Man this is a tough crowd. If you don’t want the car don’t buy it. But as long as someone is willing to pay what the owner is asking the prices will continue to skyrocket. I agree with everyone, in my opinion this is not a 45,000 dollar car. But remember the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.
