Re: 1967 RS Camaro
No pics either. I'm wondering this: Joe Customer visits Clippinger Chevrolet's showroom and sees the special Green paint 427 transplant and says "Man!, I like that car a lot! But I don't want one with a 427. How about ordering me one just like it with the 350". That happens here at the dealership quite a bit. We have a Denali on the floor, but sell a Yukon SLT instead for a whole lot less. It would also make sense that this car has a later build time than the other known special-paint L78 cars; one of which might be a possible 427 transplant. I've been at this car game all of my life (so far) and have seen (with my own two eyes) a bunch of stuff that would be hard to explain to someone who hasn't been in the car business so long. Some of the weird stuff does defy the rules, and yes, even common sense. I'm not at all saying this couldn't have happened, or doubting Bob Wingate's memory (three special ordered green Camaros, two of the three did get a heart-transplant, and maybe he is referring to one of those two), but if my first couple sentences of this post DID happen, it would seem to make more sense. Now, I'll also throw this out to everyone: in 1965, while my Dad ran the dealership, a new 1965 Olds Cutlass (not a 442), arrived off the car hauler with a 425 engine painted the same gold color as the normal 330. I know where the car was up until the '80s. True story. Nobody cared about it then and nobody (except a select few) believes it now. So anything was possible then; not so much today.

Re: 1967 RS Camaro
Pics there now. Holes appear to be where an electric fuel pumped could've been mounted. Is that a cooler of some type in the cowl area?

Re: 1967 RS Camaro
BB fender emblems are too low. No doubt put on after the SB to BB swap. Cool car that deserves to be put back to its original color and driveline configuration.

Re: 1967 RS Camaro
My understanding of the FSO code is L229D
L = LA 229 = the 229 special order for the LA plant D = 4 cars total for the order.
