Newbie. With a 1967 True RS/SS 396 convertible. I hope

[aggiegoalie]

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.

The car is a real RS, but it was not a SS. I saw that new tag earlier this year....
Here's the tag picture from 10 years ago.

Kurt where did you obtain this photo of the original trim tag?

[Eriktampabay]

You guys are amazing. Every single one of you. Well done. I will never purchase another Camaro before coming here first. Thought I had a matching number car but still had my doubts after checking all the numbers.

[Eriktampabay]

Currently the previous owner offered me a full refund now he is not answering his calls. He gave me his lawyers number. I offered him a great deal no reply. He left a hand written rant in all the receipts I found. It is hard to read his writing it looks like he was drunk. This was pre paint and interior. It appears he tried to sell it on ebay back in 2011 or prior and perhaps before the New trim tag was put on.

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?

WHat was Eds pricing I did not see it?

[Kelley W King]

Ed,s comment was $15k to$20k over priced at sale. I took that to be from the $52k ebay number. That would be $32 to $37k give or take. Very nice car but made up cars usually are $40k or less.

[Eriktampabay]

Thank you.

The car was on ebay back in May of 2007. It had its original trim tag at that time (the one Kurt posted above), but was dressed as an SS with white stripes, black top, a 396, 4 speed and 12 bolt axle. So between May of 2007 and April of 2018, it grew a new trim tag.

Probably doesn’t matter in the long run. Seller represented it as real and it wasn’t. That’s who you need to deal with now. If he loses his case and feels he was taken, he can go after whoever sold it to him.
