Fantastic! Love the car too! Mine is Marina Blue,
But also fond of your green!

Thank you all for the input!

Okay. All sounds good and what I was thinking. I had someone tell me that the hood of an SS/RS would have been smooth and not with the finned inserts (not sure exactly what you'd call them: louvered? Finned?) Anyway, I thought that was wrong. I figured you got the RS appearance items but will all the SS stuff replacing badging, etc... and then the SS hood.

Would the pin striping still have come on a car with the nose stripe? Or does addition of the nose stripe get rid of the pin striping it within the RS package?

(Thanks all for the input! Much appreciated)

And your 396 SS is original? So you COULD get an SS car with the added RS package and it would
NOT take away the louvered hood (because it was an RS), the louvered hood stayed, and the fender badges went from "rs" to saying "SS"... is this correct?

What month was your 396 built? I'm assuming spring of '67?

So I searched the forums. I've poured over the options sheet and tried to decipher what a 67 SS/RS (RS/SS) would have come with as far as appearance items....

And by that I mean this... I understand what the RS package did to a Camaro, but if it was ALSO ordered as an SS, having the 350 due to being early in the production run, would the car have a louvered hood? Would you be able to get the bumblebee nose stripe? What badges would have been on a dual optioned car? "rs" on the front fenders? "ss"? How would the car have appeared when both packages were installed? Would the hood have been non-louvered due to it being an RS, or louvered because it was an SS. Would 350 badges been on it, or RS?

How would an early production dual packaged car appear?

(Maybe ED can offer some insight)

Thank you!
