67 or 68???
 
I have been offered a 68 396 SS by a friend of mine. The problem is I've always liked the 67. Where can I find photos and data about both the 67 and 68 to compair the 2. How much do they vary in exterior appearance and in which ways??

Diffrence between a 67, and a 68.
The 67 doesnt have side marker lights, and it has a vent window on the doors. Checking out the the diffrences, seek on Camaros on some kind of page thats got cars for sale. Theres always pictures for you to see the diffrences you immediatly will get aware of. LIKE www.ebay.com <font color="black"> </font color>

There were actually a lot of small details that are exclusive to the 67 and some of these parts are difficult to find. When I see a 67 my eye goes to the vent window or to the round parking lights on the grill unless its an RS.

And what if its an RS? Are the grills the same on the 67 and 68???

Not many make mention of this but the 68 rs and the 67 rs center (egg crate) grilles are different. In 67 the intersections of all the vertical and horizontal black plastic lines are perfectly flush with one another. that includes the rs light covers. In 68 the horizontal lines of both the grille and the covers was slightly higher than the vertical. this I assume was so chevy could install the chrome mylar horizontal strips onto the black plastic without attaching it to the vertical ones. I've heard mixed opinions on if that chrome was factory at all. has anyone seen a 68 rs original grille that has the thin chrome strips? I have not. also 68 is vacuum and 67 electrical. the lower rs directional lamps are not surrounded by chrome on 68.

Festival78, the chrome ribs are correct for 68. My car still had its original grill &amp; h/l covers and they both still had traces of the chrome on the horizontal bars. Goodmark now has a very nice reproduction of the 68 grill with the chrome bars...........................RatPack............ .....
