1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible (LHD)

Description

Chevrolet's entry into the pony car market created by the Mustang arrived as a 1967 model, with the new Camaro proving a more than worthy rival for the more established Ford, rapidly capturing a sizeable portion of the youth market. The Camaro was marketed with a wide variety of engine choices, from the mild - the base engine was a six-cylinder developing a scant 140 bhp - to the wild, with the 420 bhp SS 396 and race-bred Z/28 models capturing most of the limelight. The Camaro looked fantastic, with clean styling under the direction of Bill Mitchell, who envisioned a four-seater Corvette, and the coke-bottle lines foreshadowed the Stingray of 1968. Offered in both coupe and convertible form, the first-generation Camaro came with a huge options list allowing the customer to create anything from a luxury cruiser to a drag strip bruiser. A popular dress-up package was the Rally Sport option, consisting of hidden headlamps, revised tail lights, exterior bright work - including the rocker trim - and RS badging. The first generation Camaro makes a great alternative to the more common Mustangs - with the RS covered headlamps and Rally wheels, these cars look particularly tough and are sure to turn plenty of heads on a cruise or club run.
