A 350-cid V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor capable of producing 300 horsepower is what powers this Camaro. The V-8 unit is coupled to a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission, which is linked to a 12-bolt rear end.

Car culture changed in the early 1960s when Americans started thinking less about chrome, fins, wood and soft suspensions. Horsepower, torque and handling were what the public was concerned with. American auto manufactures were in competition against one another to be king of the track and street; soon every manufacture had their own musclecar, if not multiple examples.

Introduced in 1967, while the Mustang was already a household name, the Camaro came into the market ready to race. In its debut year it was offered with several engines starting with the 230-cid and working its way up to the 396-cid Camaro SS engine.

The example presented here was the recipient of a full restoration back to its original factory color combination of Daytona Yellow with black “hockey stripes” as the exterior paint. Contrasted well with a black deluxe comfort weave interior and a black top, this particular vehicle has quite a few options such as: center console, factory tachometer, gauges, low fuel warning indicator, deluxe woodgrain dash, power top, disc brakes, power steering, hideaway headlights, fold-down back seat, front and rear spoilers and factory Rally wheels. This Camaro RS/SS Convertible is a great representation of the muscle car era and displays 77,942 miles on the odometer which the owner believes to be original.
