The 1967 Camaro RS, short for "Rally Sport," was part of the first-ever Chevrolet Camaro lineup, introduced to compete with the Ford Mustang.expand_more Here's a breakdown of the 1967 Camaro RS's history:
Born from the Mustang's Success:
In 1964, Ford's Mustang became a runaway hit, and Chevrolet scrambled to create a competitor. The Camaro, built on the upcoming Chevy II Nova platform, arrived in showrooms by fall of 1966 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Camaro_%28first_generation%29.
The RS Package: All About Appearance
The RS wasn't a performance package like the SS (Super Sport). It focused on aesthetics, offering a sportier look for the base Camaro.
The key feature of the 1967 Camaro RS was the hidden headlights. They retracted electrically behind motorized panels in the grille, creating a cleaner, more aerodynamic front end.
Other RS additions included distinctive front grille inserts, special taillight lenses, and RS badges.
Sharing the Spotlight:
The RS package could be combined with the SS package, creating an "RS/SS" Camaro. In this case, the RS badging took precedence visually.
1967 was the only year for the unique center console design and instrument cluster layout offered in the Camaro
A Strong Debut, but Not the Sales Leader:
While the 1967 Camaro, including the RS, was a success, it couldn't dethrone the Mustang in sales that year. Chevy sold 220,906 Camaros compared to Ford's 472,121 Mustangs
However, the Camaro, including the RS, did chip away at Mustang's dominance, paving the way for future sales victories.
