Bowing on September 26th, 1966 as a 1967 model, the Chevy Camaro was the Bow Tie brand’s answer to the wildly successful Ford Mustang. There were differences in Chevy’s approach, as the Camaro had a more streamlined appearance. Unlike the Mustang’s full unibody design, the Camaro utilized a partial frame to improve ride quality, isolate and minimize noise, while saving both money and space.
The Chevy Camaro Super Sport package, RPO Z27, included a 300-horsepower 350 cubic-inch Small Block, power brakes with front discs, special hood, special suspension and trim, SS stripes, raised white-letter tires, SS emblems on the fenders, rear panel, and grille, black body sills, and polished exhaust tips.
The Chevy Camaro Rally Sport package, RPO Z22, was a lot of bang for the buck. For just $131.65, the RS pack included a blacked-out grille, hidden headlights, headlight washers, back-up lights under the rear bumper, simulated fender louvers, fender stripes, black body sills, wheel arch moldings, RS emblems in the grille, on the rear panel and steering wheel, bright trim around the taillights and roof drip moldings.
Our feature Chevy Camaro RS/SS must have been the original buyer’s luxury pony car. The coupe is finished in Tuxedo Black with a black vinyl top over a Deluxe white vinyl interior. It is powered by the numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch Turbo Fire Small Block backed by a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic automatic transmission.
The Chevy Camaro is equipped with power steering, power brakes with front discs, power windows, tilt steering, factory air conditioning, bucket seats with center console, fold-down rear seat, glovebox and under hood courtesy lights, a Delco AM-FM radio, remote driver’s mirror, cruise control, and a rear spoiler. The odometer shows just 33,573 miles. The whole affair rolls on Rally wheels shod in thin whitewall tires. The sale of this Camaro includes the original owner’s manual, optional accessories manual, seat belt instruction card, cruise control instruction card, all of which are in original GM plastic pouches.
This Chevy Camaro RS/SS coupe will cross the auction block at the Mecum Auctions Houston event taking place April 4th through the 6th.

Love it! My first car was a ’67 Camaro RS/SS. Traded it for a ’70 1/2 Camaro RS/Z28. The ’67 only had a little over 15K miles when I traded it. It was stored while I did an Army stint. Wish I had both of them and my ’72 Monte Carlo SS454.
I have never seen headrests on a 1967 Camaro before, this must have been a rare option? My 1969 Camara had white interior with headrests, but I don’t recall ever seeing them on a 67? Brett do you know if this was rare or if this specimen has aftermarket ones?
The 67 is my favorite Camaro year. This is a beautiful car and I hope it brings big money at the auction.
My brother had a 1967 Rally Sport. And the RS was very visible on tbe nose and the fuel cap. This is just a SS. BTW, the headlight covers were vacuum powered and fail to open if the hose was bad or leaky.
The 67 had electric headlight openers. The 68 & 69 had vacuum openers.
Also, when the RS and SS Options were both ordered, the SS badging took precedence over the RS for the front grille and rear valance. Rally Sport script emblems were then placed on the front fenders near the door side.
Also, I agree with another commenter, the headrests have me wondering..I can’t recall seeing them on 67s before! They look like early 69s because they are in line with the seat back (lare 69s leaned forward slightly).
If memory serves me right-the ’67 Camero’s HP with the 350 CI motor was 295 HP & came with a 2 speed P.G transmission.The 3 speed trannys were only available with the 396 CI motors that year.
by the looks of the tires, must have just put down limestone the day before,, not photo friendly
maybe if i win lottery tomorrow!!!! Would buy this for my Dad
