The car's Owner is Larry Weiner. Larry’s had this car since 2008. Larry shares he had a car like this in 1969, decided to makes this one look like his car from when he was a kid.
ENJOY!

This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS SS is one of the most beautiful car ever built!
High praise for the looks of this car.
Boy, she sounds real nice going through the gears! Thx again Lou for bringing back the past when American sold cars worth buying.

Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely perfect 1967 SS/RS 350 Day 2 Camaro. Well done, Larry, and thanks Lou for showcasing this gorgeous piece of history!
Hi Michael, "Absolutely perfect" High praise.

Boy, I really love this Camaro! I've always thought "Day 2" was just as much fun as "Day 1" when the pride of ownership kicks in. But with this one, every day must be a great day for Mr. Weiner. And the 'adventure' to find the dyno sticker must have been a great day, too. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read "Boy, I really love this Camaro!" :-) Larry has this one just the way he had it back in his teenage days :-) You're welcome, Lou
27 minutes of fun...😍😍😍
Thanks Lou!🤝😊

Wow, what a stunning Camaro. Everything about this just screams timeless classic.
Hi 58raceguy, Happy to read "Wow, what a stunning Camaro" :-) Lou

Oh the memories tip of the Stetson to this gentleman for doing such a accurate presentation and restoration of the car He loved one of my first jobs I ever worked was at a car dealership called West Chevrolet and I seen all the day two cars guys would buy brand new 66 impalas for 27 put the cams And the tires and the Camaros that were redone to day 2 specsj memories the sites and the sounds. I always felt now at the age of 74. I lived in the best time for high-performance cars got to drive brand new for 27 Corvettes with three carburetors side pipes, you’ll never know the sound in the feeling to you drive something like that. Thanks for the memories Lou you have a top-notch presentations.
Hi James, Happy to read this car brings back fun memories :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Another truly classic period piece. Especially the Crager SS wheels. Good job Lou.
Cragar
Hi Scott, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
When I bought my 1973 Z-28 new I didn't even wait for day two to start modifying it. I'm still changing things 51 years later.
Hi Willie, Things take some time....
I remember many Camaros built like this back in the late 70's and early 80's.

Before the HUGE GHETTO REEHUUM thing happened.
@@geraldscott4302 The decline of American Cars in the 1980s-1990s and the rise of foreign manufacturers taking over the streets of America.
Is that what you're referring to?
@@matthewpaanotorres7309 ALL cars pretty much turned into computerized front wheel drive garbage, with, like I said, huge ugly wheels with a thin strip of rubber wrapped around them, but no sidewalls.
@@geraldscott4302 Exactly. Don’t even get me started on the lack of iconic brands like Pontiac-Oldsmobile-Mercury-Plymouth-DeSoto-Imperial-AMC, the lack of color variety and recognizability only found in old cars and not new cars, the lack of luxurious and beautiful/comfortable interiors, and more!
I used to drag race these Camaros. Love the look and it’s stance. Thank you Lou for sharing this car.
❤️👍👊
Sounds like some fun times :-) You're welcome Terry.
Clean, clean, clean, one of the nicest 67 Camaros i've ever seen! Larry is a really cool guy! He's a genuine throwback! Thank's for this feature Lou!

Hi sly 23, Hapy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Stinger hoods look proper on this car no doubt!
Loved this !!! Absolutely a classic example of Perfection!!!! And so is its Owner. !!!! What a Matchup
High praise.
That thing sounds so good banging through the gears. Really nice day 2 Camaro. Thanks Lou!
Happy to share the gear banging with you :-) You're welcome John!
🙋♂️THANKS LOU,LARRY 🤗 for sharing a perfect example of what a day two car is and taking us for the ride😎💚💚💚
X2!! You get the best cars, and the Trunkin' Treats are often a good place to pause and read, and learn.
THX DAN ,GOOD POINT 👍
My pleasure sharing this one with you Budget Audiophile Life-long.
I had a beautiful Granada Gold RS/SS 350 convertible when I was a young man-that was one that should have never gotten away-thanks for the video guys!
Hi 57Banjoman, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
I sure wish my 67 looked like that! I rescued it from a junkyard in 72. New Hampshire road salt had rotted a lot of the rear quarters and trunk floor. I worked at a body shop back then and tackled the rust work after hours. The front suspension was shot and was replaced. The last mod was pulling out the 250 6 banger and traded a set of wheels and tires at a different junkyard for a running 327. Mated it to the 3 speed standard that it was born with. Never quite finished it paint wise. But, MAN I loved that car! Thanks for bringing back those memories to this old man.
Hi Don, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Remember back then many cars in junkyards were pretty decent.
Love that wheel tire combo and the color is perfect
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
That's one beautiful Camaro. Love this shade of blue, and RS hideaway lights. Thank you Lou, I'm a big fan of this one!
Hi Bruce H., Happy to read you're a "big fan" of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
Gotta love a fly eye air cleaner. Day Two treatment is one of the coolest approaches to muscle car restoration/modification.
Hi AMCmachine, Happy to read "Day Two treatment is one of the coolest approaches to muscle car restoration/modification." :-) Glad to share the details of this car with you, Lou
Hi Lou, what a great looking Camaro, i think those 1960s models were the best looking ones that were produced, and that one is outstanding, thanks Lou.👍👍.
Hi Philip, Happy to read "i think those 1960s models were the best looking ones that were produced, and that one is outstanding" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Gorgeous, always loved the hidden headlights, Chevy designers hit it out of the park. Always humbles me to see someone with enough grit / love to hang on to a first or early bought car.
Hi Dave, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, Lou
1st car same one...my intent was to keep it forever. Young guy not making much, own place etc it only took 1 layoff to give me no choice but to sell it
Very beautiful car. I love these stories. Brings back a lot of good memories for me and other muscle car lovers. My first car was a74 cutlass 350 rocket. Had no idea that car would turn me into a racecar driver. I still to this day push everything i drive to its limits.. thank you guys for such a beautiful story

Never knew Nickey was associated with Bill Thomas
Never knew Blue Island was a performance mecca ! And I was born south suburbs in 1965
Grandma lived in Blue Island in the 70s.....wow! I do remember Us 30 drags tho❤
Sounds like fun times :-)
A '67 RS/SS Camaro in Marina Blue with white stripes and Cragars is the quintessential '60's muscle car. I could stare at this car forever, it's perfect. Love the day 2 videos Lou!
High praise Tom (and JudyAnn)!
Lou this car is perfect, Hideaway headlights are beautiful the bumperites never seen the Vette hood on the Camaro makes it so much better then the Nickey catalog. Gold icing on the cake this show could be basis of a movie.Thank you. Rory
"this car is perfect." High praise. You're welcome Rory.
This is a beautiful example of what you could buy in 1967. No wonder this was such a special time. I even road in one of these back in the day. A friend’s father had one with a very stout 350 and it sure felt fast back in the day. I used to see ones set up exactly like this one, with Cragar wheels and big rear tires cruising around my high school. In those days there was a lot more mystery when it came to cars in general. Information came by word of mouth and the car mags. There were also the brochures, but car dealers didn’t like to give those out to dreaming teenagers.

Awesome camaro and owner !! Thanks for sharing !
My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome.
My first car around 19 late 80s. NOthing like the sound and feel of those secondaries opening up and the feel of that close ratio pulling you. No new car can dup that.

I always love the old 70's style Street freak look like a Baldwin motion type they just look like they stand on their business.
NICE!
Was a kid reading car mags, my fav trend also. Big scoops, metal flake paint nasty engines. Yes!
love day 2...my fav trend in muscle...i have done up a 70 Mach 1 in day 2. This is a good looking Camaro...perfect execution. Was disappointed the camera came -this close- to showing the size of those Mickeys on the back, giving the cat that awesome stance...i need those tires for my ride!
Hi Steve, Go to discount tire, show them the video, and let them know I need big fat tires that don't rub. I get the feeling they'll know what to do :-) Lou
What an awesome camaro. Cool guy
Happy to read you enjoy this car & guy :-)
Absolutely beautiful. 😊

Funny I had a slot car as a kid beat everybody with it had the same wide tires,,,love this car,,,,,

That's one beautiful car there sounds great too I like how he was able to find all the original parts for the car Jamaican original again😊
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
That is just damn near perfection Larry. I'm a fellow Oregonian and Camaro diehard, and love the stories behind the Day 2/Nickey/Baldwin-Motion/ Yenko/Dana etc Camaros. There was a time in my 30's that i rolled my eyes at Marina Blue(my dad had a Tahoe Turquoise 67 L79/M21 Malibu and i learned to drive in a Royal Plum 67 L79/M20 El Camino, sadly missing the L79 by the time pops got it but those are my 2 favorite Bow tie colors regardless of year) and Cragar SS's. I've since come to my senses on the Marina Blue. The wheels, meats on the rear and Marina blue, (thank goodness minus the typical black vinyl top) in the sun is stunning. Phenomenal job and killer paperwork and love the Nickey influence all over the car!!
Hi Jeff, "That is just damn near perfection" High praise.
Yeah Lou, well done on this 'beauty AND a beast' The Cragar SS wheel always did it for me, right next to the Magnum 500's. Yep, '67 was the only year that the Camaro had the 'mono-leaf' springs in the rear. Nice detailed video - thanks Lou!
Yeah lonnyjaw, Happy to read you enjoy this "beauty and the beast" car :-) Glad to share the details with you, Lou
Had tons of fun my friends dad ran a car lot in Vernon bc,,I had a 71 Mach 1 growing up and a v8 Vega with a corvette 283 ,,,we all drove to school in baracuda,,,always loved cars,,,I now have a Nissan mirano with 50 series tires ,,,,still always loved the 67 ,,,

I learned to drive on a 68 Camaro RS 327cid. Red on black. If ever l was to rebuild an old classic, that old '68 Camaro would be it.
Hi Island Don, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car you learned to drive on :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thanks, Lou. I learned two things: 'Cheetah', I never saw or heard that ever, and also this expression, 'Day two car'. A magnificent car story, Lou! You're the best!
Hi kiddycat17, Well there were only a hand full of Bill Thomas Cheetah's made, and here is one for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/EPGpTB9F6EI/v-deo.html
My brother had a 1967 RS/SS Camaro convertible the same blue color with the
327/350 hp engine, 4-speed and a 3.08 positive traction rear end. His car had the
stock hood. His car had the chrome rocker panel like yours plus a stainless
strip along the window wells. He had a white convertible top and a two tone
blue and white interior. I never saw another one quite like it. His car had the
Chevy Rally wheels with red line tires. It was all purely stock and ordered by
the Chevy dealer in Eldersburg, Maryland.

I never heard of Day 2 phrase before, but sure do recognize the look. Gotta love the hood, traction bars and Cragars, thx
Hi danam0228, Happy to share the details of this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
I remember these cars back in the day. My brother's friend had one of these in the late seventies, early eighties. His was dark blue with a light blue interior. I think it was a 68, small block. It had the Cragar wheels too, bigs and littles like this!

Man, did this video bring back memories... I was fortunate enough to own a'67 Camaro and a '70 1/2 SS !! I still don't know why GM titled some cars with the half year. I own a Z28 convertible now but I truly miss my first 2 Camaros, great historical video Lou !!
Hi Mark, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your cars :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
The 1970 camaro didn't go into production until later in 1970 . For some reason GM continued production of the 1969 camaro for a longer time .
A dream for a first time driver back in the '70's. It has a "just right" cool look.
Happy to read this one is "just right" :-)
Absolutely perfect. Theres nothing like Day2. And im talking true Day2 as in period correct. Alot cats do Day2 projects but not period correct how it should be. He really did this one right. From the stinger to the Cragers. Even has the Fly Eye on there. If I had to add something I'd say the headers needed to be painted white. But thats just me. This machine is A1 !!!! Congrats and thanks to u both for sharing a dream

Looks like a real life Aurora slot car , what a beauty
NICE!
For sure it does, this car is gorgeous thanks Lou for finding this one.
When he opened that performance catalog my jaw dropped and I paused on every page. It was 1969 and just look at the prices ! When I had my 69 Roadrunner back in the mid 70s I was doing the same thing. Nice presentation Lou.
Hi axleratio, Happy to share that performance brochure with you :-) Glad to read you had a 69 Roadrunner. NICE! Lou
Wow Lou what a striking body sculpture on this piece.
It looks performative just sitting there.
My personal preference is non scoop hood but well done here. Might get a bit of ram air boost at higher speeds.
Overall a very pretty Chevrolet.
I’d call it a sky sapphire mist metallic. Engine bay very impressive.
Thanks Lou the “ Car Guy” .😊
Hi Bill, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you on this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
When I think of a '67 Camaro, that's the exact livery and color I think of. The sound is so great, too!
Hi Zach, Happy to read this is the one you think of when you think 1967 Camaro :-) Lou
Awesome Awesome Video Lou,..
High praise Kevin
Very nice and a version I hadn't heard of. I had a '67 SS with rally sport package, hidden headlights etc back in 1985 when I was 20. Vacuum operated headlight doors. Mine didn't work so I had to manually open or close them. Mine was black on black and had the 2 chrome false intakes on either side of the hood. 350/4 speed. Console with factory gauges on front end of console. I was a typical kid not thinking about what I had and would jump from car to car back then.
Hi Steve, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Larry has a sweet day 2 car...remember these being around as a kid...one guy had a black one...very similar. Thanks Lou.

What an awesome Camaro. Those fly eye air cleaners look awesome on top of the 780 . Cragars just make the look of it
Happy to read "What an awesome Camaro" :-)
Lou the 67 Camaro is my favorite. This is one beautiful car with an amazing story. You did an amazing job letting the owner tell his Car's story. I really liked it when you were going through the aftermarket booklet and the owner was pointing out the parts he had put on the car. I also appreciated your asking the owner how long it took him to complete the project.
This was an enjoyable episode of MCS.
Bill, you're getting on my good side again :-)
Lovely Camaro - great colour/stripe combination!
Great Car Story - thanks Lou and Gary for letting us see this beauty.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read "Lovely Camaro" :-) Glad to share this story with you. You're welcome, Lou
Beautiful car! Well done. I remember as a kid drooling over the Camaros in Hot Rod Magazine, and the ones running around town and at the drag strip. My favorites were 67-69. Wonderful lines and styling. Thanks Larry and Lou!❤️❤️❤️👍
Hi Bob, Happy to read this one brings back memories of the Camaro's you remember in Hot Rod Magazine :-) You're welcome, Lou
350 4-Barrel Carburetor V8! Nice! 😎👍💪
Didn’t this come with the 327 and 396 V8s as well or was that 1968?
Hi Matthew, Yes, there is a section in the Dealer brochures that it's mentions the engine options, Lou
In 1967 first year for 350ci. It was only available in the Camaro SS. The '67 Camaro SS came in only two engine options: 350 or 396 later in the model year. 327 was not offered in the SS model.
Thank you, sir.@@skinnerhound2660
Thanks. I also realized that the 350 V8 was the base engine.@@skinnerhound2660
@@loucostabile These had a 1 yr only block had the tomata can under the intake.
What a fantastic Camaro!! Thanks Larry and Lou! Nice drive around the block.
Happy to read "What a fantastic Camaro!!" :-) You're welcome Tom.
Another great video. The highest percentage of my favorite classic domestics happen to be chevys. And I think I recognize those stretches of I-5. That looks like just north of Grants Pass. There's a little town called Merlin about a mile west of I-5 and just under 10 miles north of Grants Pass where lots of classic cars can be seen. And many of them are privately owned. Anyway, these places are all within a half hour of Medford.

OK, a real day-two Camaro I remember was as a very little kid. This guy lived on Old Salem Road at the corner of Morrow Drive in Clayton Ohio, and was customizing his Camaro by the early '70s for sure. It was a '67 or '68 in Hugger Orange with a black vinyl top. It didn't have Z28 stripes, but it might've had the accent band. It definitely didn't have the '68 stripes which ran back across the doors, from the accent band. My earliest memories of the car are of it having a set of big and little chrome reverse wheels and baby moons. But in the late '70s as I was hitting my teens, I saw it out of his garage, and it had Cragar SS/Ts, (or something racier than baby moons) and its induction was sticking out of a hole in the hood. I never saw the car drive, or at the Carl Casper's Car Show. Only occasionally outside of his detached garage which opened into our neighborhood. I'm pretty sure that this Camaro was an RS or an SS or both - I do seem to remember a blacked out taillight panel which would indicate a 396. We moved from there in '81 to only a half mile away, but I never saw that car again. Sometimes I google the guy's name, but have never found him. He has a rather common name, and would have to be quite old now. I also google orange '67 and '68 Camaros, but have never found it.
I checked the county records, and he moved away sometime in the '80s IIRC, but I still wonder what ever happened to that car.
And later in the '70s, an older kid, again in a corner house, at the other way out of that neighborhood, had a '70-'73 Camaro in dark green with white Z28 stripes and Cragars - again I don't know if it was an SS or a Z28, but it definitely wasn't an RS. He ended up putting a tunnel ram on it - first place I ever saw one! He also lost his license in it, because he worked at the local Sohio station, and I asked him about it when my Mom took her car down there because of stuck license plate bolts my Dad couldn't bust. I don't know why I didn't try them bolts - I had to be about 12 by then, and was already permanently dirty from working on bicycles. Maybe I did and couldn't get 'em. I'd sure bust them today though...

I ran Doug Thorley headers also on my 69' Road Runner back in the day.
Hi Nicky, Happy to read you had a set of nice headers too. I asked him if they rub, and he said no, and I did not hear them rub....I was surprised. Lou
Nice 😊, this the way they were
Happy to read "Nice" :-) You're right, this is the way they were.
I bought a 1967 SS 396 375 hp 4speed posi, matching numbers in 1977 I was 3rd owner $ 1500. Ran the crap out of it for three years, needed a air compressor,and welder for my shop sold it for $2500. It sold Barret Jackson's this year for $81,500. One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.

@loucostabile got a 64 skylark now, I did everything but spray the pearl white paint
Hey Lou/Larry, you have a beautiful 67 there, yes they were made to be modded and have FUN with!! You have a nice SB with Chevy parts, that 350 HP hydraulic cam was a good upgrade over the 'stock' cam back in the day, 386 HP is plenty for that, hard to believe nothing ever happened to the bottom end after all the years. You have plenty of traction there with those monster tires and i like that rear end cover, what gears do you have? I had 3 1st generations back in the day. I follow 67-69 Camaro's on FB, some VERY talented owners and body men who make gold from trash.
Hey Jim, Happy to read you follow the 1st Gen Camaro's on Facebook :-) Lou
BEAUTIFUL car!! That 1967 RS-only bright rocker trim is gorgeous! But I'm not sure if that one should be blacked out under the rockers or not - with certain colors, Chevrolet did not black out the bottoms of the rockers. Those Cragars are absolutely perfect! But I think I'd change back to its original SS hood, with the finned fake hood extractors - I'm kind of a Melvin like that. Four-port extractors are for 396s.
Didn't know any 350s got that old-style oil-fill tube. The 350 was available only in the Camaro in '67, the Camaro and newly redesigned Chevy II/Nova in '68, and the rest of the line-up in '69. Never heard of an ET differential cover! Dilemma for me with the traction bars - I love the look of the yellow ones. Marina Blue under the rocker trim would accentuate the Nickey bars.
I also don't see the Z28 or its 302 mentioned in any of the brochures. No mention in the Nickey catalog either - but get ready to dry your eyes when you see brand new Muncie 4 speeds for $254.43!!! Rock Crusher M22 was like $600 new in the early 1980s. That Nickey/Bill Thomas Camaro wheel looks to be a good fifty years ahead of its time, style-wise!
My Dad's younger brother bought a brand new '68 SS396 Camaro - and had to sell it when he got drafted.
Hi Dan, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read your Dads younger Brother had one. Sad to read he has to sell it :-( Lou
The 67 and 68 also look particularly good (just like with the Cragar S/S), with Center Lines (the flat center, no hole ones).
Hi SYD Rider, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Very nice 🥰🥰
Hi Michael, Happy to read "Very nice" :-) Lou
Beautiful Camaro! Only things missing are white lettered tires and a trunk spoiler.
....trunk spoiler, ahhh, I like that!
I must know wheel tire sizes spring/ shock set up ! Very nice ! exactly I want to set up my 68 rs. It’s even a similar blue called grotto blue. I like this better than the set low pro touring mod. I need ground clearance where I live just to get down my street.
Hi Danny, I'd suggest sending me an e-mail, and we'll see if Larry's interested in calling you, Lou e-mail - trupowr@yahoo.com Subject line = My 68 Camaro needs to be like Larry's
Did someone mention BLUE muscle car? I'm in!
NICE!
super nice car not cut up
Happy to read "super nice car" :-)
Rather have an old Camaro than a new one. You drive it instead of it driving you.
Hi Randy, Happy to read you enjoy the original :-) Lou
That sweet idle of the Big Block?!!!..Shoot Nigel Darn!...
