Re: Proper location for washer bottle on 67 RS

 
That's a 68 and 69 thing only. 68 RS - Drivers side fenderwell. 69 RS - Passengers side fenderwell. 67 - Core support. You must have been looking at the 68 AIM.




I found this on another site.  Says 68 RS is mounted on the fenderwall .    Could this be more proof it is an RS?

Thanks all for the help here.

This car is missing the vacuum reservoir and relay valve, but from the picture it appears to have the vacuum lines and the washer bottle in the correct location, so I'd say it probably is an RS. Check to see where the vacuum lines exit the firewall.

OK, so I went to see the car.  Disappointing to say the least.  Here are a few pics. His brother showed the car and had no answers.

1.  There was no VIN tag on the dash.  Just not there.  Brother did not have any details.
2.  The engine codes were sanded off.  Claimed when the engine was rebuilt mechanic did it but it was the original block.'
3.  Car was cosmetically in worse shape then I expected. 
4. Motor was cosmetically in worse shape also.

On the bright side I do believe it was a real SS/RS.  Muncie cable was right and verything else checks out although there were only 26 hood springs,

Muncie is from a 64 or 65 Chevy. Not original.

Axle with the BT code could be original.

Was there a hole where the VIN should be?
Did you see the title with the VIN? What is it?
That axle looks a bit too early for the car. Not impossible, but early....

Looks like Kurt fixed my typo - thanks!

And looks like he split this car away into a new thread, which should help with confusion.

My Muncie in my car is 65 with matching tail shaft and my speedo cable enters on the driver side, the cable exits the firewall sideways under the wiper motor.  Car in pic might be RS, but why install the wrong rocker trim?

I've moved on. It wasn't the car for me. I'm still searching.
