That's a 68, I prefer my 1st gen Camaros a little more factory.

And I do too. Still, I wouldnt kick it out of the garage.

Got that right! Get that monstrosity out from under the hood and drop in a 327/350/396 and we good. Not a 302, that was a drop-top so not a Z/28.

This has always been one of my favorites. John Cusacks 67 RS/SS from Better off Dead. The movies ok, but this black on red 67 this sweet.

isn't RS trim a hidden headlight Camaro? I can only find SS examples with the paint matched steelies, but I know I have seen this style with hidden headlights - that's what I meant earlier, anyway

Crack found in her cooch.

I feel sorry for the officer who found it.

Yes, the RS package includes hidden headlights. Personally, I love the hidden headlights on the 1st gen Camaros.

Man, Nye county maze of trailers, campers, and sheds.

It’s like a movie set, a really weird movie set.

WHOA!! Far left is Cordovan Maroon with black vinyl top!! So was my 68 with a 327. That's a big block 396 with correct black grill on an SS. Others had a grey grill.

RS (Rally Sport) had the headlight doors. 1967 the door were vacuum operated. So unreliable that the 68 owners manual (still have mine!!) had directions and pictures for removing the headlight doors. 1968 they went with a much more dependable electrically actuated system.

SS/RS: SS emblems took precedent, but they had the headlight doors. Rare but awesome Z/28/RS did as well.

SS with a big block 396 had a blacked out tail-light panel.

Z/28 and SS were performance packages, RS was an appearance package. Z/28 had a 302 with a 4-speed, SS had either a 350 or one of two 396 options. SS could have 3-speed automatic or manual.

Z/28: these badges were not on the 67, and didn't appear until April 1968. The 67 and early 68 Z/28s sported the 302 badge on the front of the fenders.

Did I mention I really like 1st gen Camaros?

Guarantee those guys in volusia county have a carload of dope.

 

[thompal]

Is that a real poncho or a Sears poncho?
Bonus points if you know the origin.

Camerillo Brillo?

SS had either a 350 or one of two 396 options. SS could have 3-speed automatic or manual.

Wasn't there also a 427 option?

 

[thompal]

Dont think so since it was a foot pursuit.

If he had two legs, it would have been a feet pursuit.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Wasn't there also a 427 option?

That was through the COPO (central order processing office?) and IIRC the 427 badge was red vice white. The Yenko (a dealership in Virginia) Camaros had 427s and the unique stripes.

Part of me would love to have one of these cars again. The other part would be scared to take it out of the garage, I’d get hit with a meteor before getting it to the road.

Was half expecting Charlie Manson to jump out behind one of those sheds.

T-minus 57 minutes. I'm calling the Grove up first. We are overdue for a Rylan (AKA the shaggin wagon guy) appearance.
