Paint decision help

[dieselarmy13]

RS was merely an apperance package that included the grill with hideaway's and other trim uprgrades. It could be had on an SS model, Making it an RS/SS. Definetly a sweet car. Someday I will have one. And a Chevelle. And a ....well you know.

BTW, the parking lights in the lower valance and the backup lights in rear valance are RS specific items too, so its probably original unless it was changed long ago.

Nice camaro you have a big project there!!! post some pics of your truck

it is a real rally sport for sure, i had a rs/ss a few years ago that i did a restoration on. as far as the ss goes, it appears that someone may have tried to make it into a ss. the ss emblems are not centered in the fender stripe. the ss should have a tach in the dash, and there should be a 12 bolt rear under the car. if it is a real ss/rs then the ss ebmlems,horn cap,gas cap will take presadence over rs emblems.

gas cap says ss 350..horn says ss 350..and i dont know if its originally a rs/ss the owner has had it from when he bought it brand new..i was like is it an rs/ss hes like straight ss...but im thinkin it really is an rs/ss...but yeah to the guy who aske dabout whose working on it with me....im the only guy working on it...sounds crazy right...hard to believe a 17 year old kid has done all that so far right??

The 12 bolt rearend nor the tach and gauges were standard with the SS package. They were still options. However, most of them had those options. There's a guy here in town that has a factory '69 396 SS automatic with a bench seat a column shifter. It has no tach and (obvisously) no console gauges. It does have a 12 bolt and discs. 67-68 SS's didn't even come std with disc brakes, but they were std on '69 SS models.

It`s an RS/SS.Actually both were appearance packages.There were 6 cyl SSs,too.But,that`s a great car to restore.Definately primo material.

Not true. The standard engine in a '67 to '69 SS was a 350/295hp (300hp in '69). A big block 396 with either 325hp ('67-'69), 350hp ('68-'69) and 375hp ('67-'69). A first gen. SS either had a 350 or a 396 engine. There were first gen SS's produced with 6 cylinders, 283's, 307's, or even 327's. There were 6 cylinders put in early Chevy II's, but no 6 cylinder SS model was ever produced in Impalas, Chevelles or Camaros.
