Introduced as Chevrolet's all-new pony car for 1967, the Camaro immediately established itself as a legitimate performance platform, particularly in Super Sport form. This authentic first-year Camaro SS convertible has benefitted from a detailed, ground-up restoration and presents today as a highly correct example of one of the most desirable configurations of the inaugural model year. Finished in its proper colors and equipped with date-correct components, the car reflects careful attention to factory specifications while retaining the character that defines an early Super Sport drop-top.
The body is finished in correct Granada Gold paint, accented by a Black Bumble Bee stripe that underscores the car's SS identity. As part of the Rally Sport Appearance Package, the front end features the distinctive RS hideaway headlamps and bright trim appointments unique to that option group. A correct Black convertible top complements the gold exterior and maintains the car's factory presentation. The stance is purposeful, anchored by 15" Chevrolet Rally Sport wheels that reinforce the car's period-correct look while subtly enhancing its road presence. Overall fit, finish, and detailing reflect the comprehensive nature of the restoration.
Under the hood is a date-correct L48 350ci Chevrolet V8 fitted with desirable "double hump" cylinder heads. The engine retains its original assembly stamp and matching partial VIN derivative, confirming its alignment with the car. It is paired with a date-correct Muncie 4-speed manual transmission that also carries a matching partial VIN, shifted through a Hurst shifter. Power is delivered through a 12-bolt rear axle. The car is equipped with power steering and power brakes with front discs, and a chambered exhaust system provides the distinctive tone expected of a solid-lifter era small block Super Sport.
The cabin is trimmed in a correct Deluxe Black Interior that reflects the Super Sport's upscale sporting intent. Bucket seats and a center console establish the driver-focused layout, while factory-style 3-pack console gauges provide auxiliary readouts in period fashion. A tilt steering column adds adjustability, and a Delco AM/FM radio offers an era-appropriate touch. The interior's combination of correct materials, finishes, and factory-style equipment aligns well with the car's open-air character.
As a first-year Camaro SS convertible equipped with the Rally Sport Appearance Package, a date-correct 350/4-speed drivetrain, and a comprehensive ground-up restoration, this example represents a highly desirable intersection of performance, style, and specification. Its correct colors, authentic components, and carefully restored presentation position it as a compelling addition to any serious collection of early Chevrolet muscle.
