It’s not like the RS and the SS were extremely rare; the Z/28 was the rarest Camaro in 1967. Although only 64,842 and 34,411 Chevrolets were produced, respectively, those desiring a sportier combination ordered both packages for the formidable RS/SS combo.
Recently, user enry3429 brought a Camaro RS/SS. The purpose of the owner’s post was to find a new garage where the car could receive the necessary maintenance.
It’s easy to determine that the Camaro has already undergone appropriate maintenance.
The vehicle rolled off the assembly lines in Van Nuys with destination Mexico. The buyer drove it in the country until 1978, at which point it became a part of someone’s collection.
Since then, the car has been kept out of the elements and kept in a climate-controlled garage protected from rain and snow for all these years. The rust isn’t a big deal because the Camaro kept its perfect shape. The owner claims that when inspecting the car, you will only find original factory parts and that the metal is perfect.
In July 2022, the Camaro was brought back to the United States for road use. If you’re wondering how it got there, that’s how it made its way back. Ever since, the Camaro has undergone a thorough maintenance schedule that includes new suspension, updated air conditioning, and other fixes.
There are two big changes that everybody must be aware of. The Camaro rolled off the assembly lines with a 350 V8 under the hood but now flexes a replacement unit. The owner doesn’t share more specifics on the reason for replacing the engine, but the new mill now starts, runs, and drives properly. It’s paired with a Muncie 4-speed transmission.
Paint comes in second. This Camaro was originally painted in Carmine White by Chevrolet, but its previous owner had it painted Capri Cream. Although it looks fantastic, this model won’t be what you’re looking for if you want a Camaro RS/SS to show off just original goods.
Despite the rebuilt engine, the odometer shows 67,000 miles, which appears to be the original mileage.
The car comes in excellent shape, and considering the original parts still on it, it makes for an excellent collectible that many collectors would spend big bucks on.
