1967 Chevrolet Chevy Camaro RS SS 396 4 Speed in Blue & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're in Suburbs of Phoenix AZ on 9-2-21.

We're looking at a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS in Marina Blue Paint. The car features the factory 396 CI V8 engine with a 4 Speed manual transmission.

The car's Owner is Gary Blythe. Gary’s had this car since 1977. He shares was looking to buy a Pontiac GTO, and he Brother shared he might want to look at this car. In 1977 he purchased this car for $800.00. After a restoration, this car looks and sounds great.

ENJOY!

Gary brings the genuine history of an enthusiastic real-car- guy owner, racer over decades. Thanks Lou, Gary!

One of the better looking Chevy’s. Gotta love that trim package. The big block is just icing on the cake.

Very enjoyable video. This sounds a lot like my story. I bought my 68 SSRS 396 Camaro in 1980 for 1700.00. I raced the old car on & off the drag strip for most of my younger years & had a ball with it. 42 years later, I still own it & it's always pretty much been my favorite car.

Outstanding! It was nice to see Mr. Blythe again, and I'm glad he brought his heavy right foot along this time, too! This Camaro looks great in Marina Blue & judging from the trunk treats, it has been through its paces, too. Thanks, Lou!

I like the comment he said: it has style over anything new. Thats so so true. Absolutely beautiful car.

That's one loaded Camaro! I didn't realize that the 1967 had the hideaway headlights. As I have mentioned before, the 1967 debut year is the only year that had the front vent windows, and also is the lightest year they were made, just like it's cousin the Pontiac Firebird the same year. This is a beautiful example of the Camaro. I love the Munsey 4 speed transmission with the matching gearshift.

Thanks guys you made my day with this iconic Camaro. All the right boxes were checked; RS, SS, big block, blue paint, and the rear antenna is a nice touch too. Love it!

I love the history of the car when the owner has had the car for a long time and this car has a fantastic history with it's care taker!!! This one being and RS/SS checks all the boxes for sure. Those Camaros looked so cool with the hideaway headlights and I wish that feature could be used in automotive styling today. The view from the interior looking out over the hood is really special with the slight "power bulge" and grill inserts in the hood and that blue is simply beautiful on this car. Very cool Camaro!!!

Beautiful Camaro. Chevrolet got those so right. Loved the details and extra explanation of them. Thanks again Lou!

[garylewis]

Beautiful and rare car, nice to learn some interesting tidbits like the black tail panels on big block cars. Good video Lou, thanks!

[MrTrack]

My brother liked the 67 Camaro; I liked the 67 Firebird. We were in elementary school! Sibling rivalry at its best!

[normmelanson]

I enjoy watching your show. Learning all about the cars and all the different features types and models. Thanks Lou

After working at Chrysler, my dad worked at Esso as a mechanic.
I remember pumping gasoline there as a young boy. Great story.
Thanks Lou for the flash back.

[chrisjeffries]

Thank you Lou and Gary this made my day, I have a 67 R/S coupe 327 and a 68 SS 350 Rag top and I mean the original top is a Rag!

[donwalker]

my brother had a 67 396 4sp Rs SS . loved going into the AW and everyone would shut their cars off to listen to the chambered exhaust at idle

[martycarter]

Camaro 67..68..69... now that's how the bodystil should become...to me that is the best bodystil for them years...not to sold on the other models....I still remember the first TV appearance for the 67 Camaro ...great video...to me it's nice that people try to keep it original..

[Guy-mxfb]

So many say Marina Blue but they all have different shades, nice to see an actual Marina Blue

[JeffKing]

Beautiful Camaro Lou! Just immaculate. Great Car Story as well - I remember the key chains, not too many of those left either I bet.

Love the Trunk & Treats too!

Thanks as always.

[blanewilliams]

I am really loving this car. My father had a '68 SS Camaro that I learned to drive in. I loved that car but I will say I prefer the RS grill with the hideaway headlights. Thanks for the history of the car and the stories, Gary. Thanks for another great Car Story Lou.
