You have not told us about the transmission and rear axle.  Is the axle at least a 12 bolt?  If so, what is the code on the front edge of the passenger side axle tube?

Can you show me a photo of where to exactly look?

Here is the first 2 paragraphs from the listing:
I searched 21 years for this "REAL" NUMBERS MATCHING 1967 RS/SS  396  Turbo-Jet  4-Speed Convertible. 1967 is the First year GM produced the Camaro and the Only year that has "Vent Windows." In my 40 years of being a muscle car enthusiast and collecting the rarest of muscle cars, I have seen a  limited number of small block RS/SS convertibles and nearly all of those had automatic transmissions, but I have Never seen another 1967 RS/SS "396" 4-Speed Convertible that wasn't a Pace Car.

An interesting fact for the Brand New 1967 Camaro SS is that General Motors implemented the "NO 396 RULE," which meant there were to be no 396's put in any Camaro (with the exception of a limited number of Pace Cars.) Rather their High Performance engine was a special newly designed 350 cubic inch 4 BBL producing 295 HP and was developed specifically for the brand new and very first model year Camaro. It was not until late November of 1966 did GM relax the "NO 396 RULE" and allow dealerships to special order the 396 cubic inch engine in a Camaro, but who knows how many dealerships or their salespeople became aware of that? Perhaps that may be one of the reasons so few 396's were installed in the Camaro.
