The New 1967 Camaro.

Wide stance stability and big-car power keynote this exciting new road machine from Chevrolet.

Wide-footed stability that's built in gives Camaro a road-clutching tenacity. With this exceptional wide stance (only an inch shy of five feet front and rear) the new Camaro rides like much larger cars. In the handling depart-ment, the favorable ratio of wide stance tread to wheelbase gives it clinging power on curves, incredible straight-line tracking.

Camaro is band-box new by Chevrolet, and a freshly styled example of how fine an exciting road machine can look. Both models-convertible and sport coupe-have the long sports-car-inspired hood. The body styling sweeps your eye astern. And from the rear, Camaro's stylistic freshness sets it apart from the mundane.

1967 Chevrolet Camaro Performance Highlights.

By now it's clear that Camaro is a go as well as a show machine. Camaro offers you the kind of deep breathing big cubic-inch power you might expect only in far larger cars-topped by a 350-cubic-inch V8 that's exclusively Camaro's. Also in the power line-up: standard 140-hp six-cylinder or 210-hp V8. You can specify a 155-hp six (with larger displacement) or a 275-hp 327-cu.-in. V8.

Camaro hosts all of the 1967 standard safety features including dual master cylinder brake system, GM-developed energy- absorbing steering column and passenger-guard door locks.

You can put yourself into the Camaro you see pictured on pages 4-5. Or you can specify the Rally Sport version illustrated on pages 6-7. Perhaps you want to order the SS 350 excitingly spelled out on pages 8-9. If you like, you can even combine the verve of the SS 350 with the striking Rally Sport version, as shown at right. Dressing up the interior is an adventure, too.

Do you want to personalize your machine to say "you" all over? Then you'll want to look over all of the Options and Custom Features detailed on pages 16 and 17. For instance, you can order a brand new Chevrolet-Delco Stereo Tape System that includes a special 80-minute tape program narrated by Lorne Greene of Bonanza. Or specify stereo tape and AM/M radio with FM stereo for true sonic enjoyment. And to round out the comfort idea, Four-Season air conditioning. Other Options: vinyl roof, 4-Speed, Strato-ease headrests, special instrumentation and a Sports Console—in short, all you could want to individualize your Camaro.

You're witnessing, on the pages of this catalog, a true command performance! You've been waiting for a Chevrolet like this….. now it's here!

Generous measure of motoring dash with buckets and carpeting standard.

Now that you've had your initial view, scan Camaro's lean new form again and check the details. Like front headlight and parking light integration. Curved body side glass. Rakish wheel openings. Upswept styling behind the doors. Thoughtfully worked out taillight and backup light treatment.

Naturally you'll want to look inside. The interior in either sport coupe or convertible comes off sporty: handsome Strato-bucket front seats. Specify a Strato-back front seat (sport coupe only) with fold-down center armrest if you like. A rear seat molded to give a bucket seat feeling. An all-vinyl interior, richly embossed, and carpeting that stretches from door to door, front to rear. Driver-oriented and fully padded instrument panel.

Sun visors are padded, too. The inside day-night rearview mirror has vinyl material around viewing surface attached to a breakaway support. Controls have smooth contoured knobs while window regulator knobs are soft plastic and color-keyed. Front and rear seat belts are color-keyed as well. Embossed vinyl door trim panels and armrests with bright accents; ashtrays are included in the convertible's rear armrests. Specify your interior in four colors with bucket seats three with Strato-back front seat keyed to exteror color.

And what, you ask, is under that long, slim hood? Why, you can order power plants that range from 140 to 275 horses, plus a special "SS 350" version with a unique 295-hp Turbo-Fire 350 V8—check the power team line-up on page 15 for availability. With any engine you can get a standard 3-Speed or specify 4-Speed or Powerglide.

The Style Trim Group you can order adds bright metal front and rear wheel opening moldings, color-keyed body accent stripes and, on sport coupes, a bright metal drip gutter molding. A perfect go-together with the Style Trim Group is the Special Interior Group which includes: bright metal on accelerator, brake, clutch and parking brake pedal pads; and bright metal windshield pillar moldings (also roof rail molding in the sport coupe).

1967 Rally Sport Camaro. From hideaway headlights to unique taillights this Camaro says swinger from all angles.

Specifying the Rally Sport Camaro really does electrifying things to the appearance.

You get: "rs" emblems on the grille and going away on the fuel filler cap; full-width, black lattice grille with concealed headlights; lower body side molding; black accent below body side molding (with certain colors); color-keyed body accent stripes; sporty styling for parking/turning lights in front; sports-styled backup lights; and distinctive edged-in-black taillight treatment with two lamps in each taillight unit for driving, braking and turn signal indication.

In addition to these outside eye-pleasers, you get bright metal front and rear wheel opening moldings, plus a bright drip gutter molding on sport coupes. Inside, an "rs" emblem appears on the steering wheel center.

What's the result when you're all through ordering your Rally Sport? You've fitted your Camaro with the action look that proclaims to all your exceptional trim selection.

Any of a host of power team combinations is available for your Rally Sport Camaro. You can have a Rally Sport Camaro with the standard 140-hp Turbo-Thrift 230 six-cylinder engine or 210-hp Turbo-Fire 327 standard V8. Specify another 327-cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and 275 hp if you like. The choice-and fun—is yours.

Custom interior. Here are all the comfort and sport you could want inside, too!

Personalizing doesn't stop on the outside. You can further individualize the interior of your Camaro by specifying the Custom Interior. When you ask for this plush assem-blage, you'll get your choice of seven all-vinyl interiors (see the color and interiors descriptions on pages 18-19). The thin line Strato-buckets are further enhanced with color-keyed accent bands framing the embossed seat and backrest panels. The rear seat repeats the theme. And in sport coupes, you can specify an all-vinyl Strato-back front seat in three color choices with individual backrests, color-keyed accent bands and folding center armrest.

When you order the Custom Interior you get: door trim panels of molded vinyl with integral armrests, recessed door handles and carpeted scuff panels. Rear armrests with ashtrays in sport coupes along with courtesy lights in the rear quarter roof panels (courtesy lights are mounted under the instrument panel in convertibles). Special oval-styled steering wheel, molded luggage compartment mat and special underhood insulation complete the Custom Interior line-up.

When you specify Rally Sport or SS 350 Camaro, you get "rs" or "SS 350" emblems in the steering wheel center.

Full-length armrest with recessed door handles and carpeted scufi panel highlight Custom Interior doors. Custom Interior in black with Strato-bucket front seats showing parchment accent bands.

Mechanical data. Underneath it all, Camaro's personality is soundly based on new body-frame construction and proven suspension.

Inclined toward the things that make Camaro a road machine? Then you'll have a lot to savor in the many interesting body and mechanical features common to the new Camaro. Each is based on sound engineering design and testing. All add up to give you a car that will ride, han-dle, corner and brake in grand touring tradition.

A new type of construction is used for Camaro's body-frame combination. A sturdy front frame section carries engine, front sus-pension, steering and sheet metal components; it bolts through four rubber-isolated mounts to a unitized body. This combination helps isolate noise-producing elements from the main passenger compartment, resulting in a quiet ride.

Like other Chevrolet cars, Camaro's Body by Fisher quality goes far below its lustrous Magic-Mirror acrylic lacquer finish. The sport coupe's roof is cross braced with bow-like members for additional rigidity. In the convertible, rocker panels are heavy-gauge sheet metal to provide the added stifiness required by the open top structure. Double panel construction is used on doors, hood and deck lid for maximum strength. Fork-type door locks are positive acting and quiet.

Extensive galvanizing is used throughout the Camaro's body along with other rust preventive materials to assure long body life. In addition, "bathtub" style inner fender skirts shield body sheet metal from direct road spray and the effects of corrosive materials. Flush-and-dry rocker panels utilize both water and air directed from cowl level intakes to wash and dry panel interiors, reducing the chance of rust.

Extensive ribbing in Camaro's underbody plus heavy framing elements at the rear provide a good foundation for anchoring rear suspension components. Both windshield and rear window are adhesively sealed for positive leakage control. Curved body side glass enhances appearance and shoulder room.

In the footwork department, 108" wheelbase and wide stance (59.0" front, 58.9" rear) give Camaro exceptional stability and ride. The ratio of tread to wheelbase gives cat-claw tenacity on curves, smooth going straight ahead. Front and rear suspension combine proven engineering principles with long life joints for minimum maintenance. Up front, coil springs, independent design and a stabilizer (except coupe with standard six-cylinder engine) team with Mono-Plate single leaf rear springs isolated in rubber from the frame for level cornering and smooth, quiet ride. Special dynamic dampers smooth convertible ride. Direct-acting, double-action tubular shock absorbers are used at all four wheels for smooth handling. Safety-Master brakes are 9.5" diameter and are self-adjusting with 168.9-sq.-in.-net lining area plus foot-operated parking brake with finger-tip release.

Mufflers are extensively treated for resistance to corrosion. Electrical system needs are amply met by the Delcotron diode-rectified generator. 9-37 ampere system is standard; check page 16 for additional units. Recirculating ball-gear steering makes handling and parking easy.

Standard ratios: SS 350 models and all sport coupes-24:1. Convertibles and all air-conditioned models with manual steering—28:1. Order 17.5:1 power steering with any Camaro; or specify fast steering—21.6:1 manual, 15.6:1 power.

Coupled to the rear axle through transmissions with highly favorable low gear starting ratios (2.85:1 low, 3-Speed; 3.11:1 low, 4-Speed), the basic six won't be found wanting.
