this camaro has the rs emblem on the fenders near the front , the hide-aways, with the valance, and the rs gas cap. is there any other for sure ways of telling that its a big block car ?

Ken...that's what gets me...why would a middle aged lady (45-ish then) change out all the emblems on her Camaro? Oh well, I guess weirder things have happened, huh?

It was her daily driver...six days a week. I drove by that car every day to go to work.

Bruce, she might have wrecked the car (daily driver!) and the new panels were from another RS that wasn't an SS. My guess is that she rear-ended someone and the repair shop put a replacement RS front end on and her old 396 Turbo Jet emblems. Stranger things have happened, as the saying goes.

Jeff, do you have cowl tag info? . Trim aside, doesn't a real '67 396 include either 4K(L78) or 4N(L35) on the tag? ~ Pete

My March car is a 396 and is 4P

Again, it would have to be an SS/RS to get the 396. There were no 67 RS 396 Camaro's built, ever. Remember, an RS was an appearance option, and not a performance option like the SS. The most power you could get in a 67 Sport Coupe or an RS, was the L30, at 275 hp. If that wasn't enough, you would have to step up to the plate and order the L48, L35, L78, (RPO Z27)

My car is a 3L 4N. RS/SS, no big block without SS option. 4P, ss 350 or L30. Charley, are you talking about the pace car? Roger

Yes

I believe CRG has other SS396 4P cars also. Kurt ?

**PeteLeathersac** · #10 03-14-2006, 07:31 PM

So unless proven otherwise by window or build sheets, any real 396 car is an SS first and no way paperwork could even be generated to stop SS trim from overiding the RS trim on RS cars....so the only way any RS cars could have come through badged as RS would be by result of assembly line mistake or intent? . 1967 is unique being able to decode by cowl tag but isn't 4P for SS350 cars? ~ Pete
