I'm in agreement with camaronut, having worked final inspection in a GM plant in Canada, I'd pull a car aside and point out a fault

 to my supervisor who'd eyeball it and tell me ship it ! It was more about numbers out the door than quality ! I'd see cars in dealers

 and auto shows with faults, that maybe the untrained eye wouldn't spot.

Here's another '67 RS/SS regarding the stripe, I don't think that photo is in '67, those tires weren't available then ?

Re: nose stripes, this photo was posted here in another thread on promotional and pace cars by SMKZ28 (thanks Scott !)  from an

 in house GM magazine from 1966 that I have. This was the first appearance of '67s in public September 25th. '66 Can-Am race at

 Mosport, Ontario, Canada. There were comments about the stripe on this car either in that thread or some where else, can't find it

 now.

That's John Surtees with the Camaro.

Thanks boomer & MO for the info re: SS option and 350 engine.

Would the right hand drive conversion be done state side or in the UK ?

Here's a '67 SS/RS converible at a dealers in the UK, is that a 327 logo on the fender ?

Looks like a right hand drive conversion.
