Hello everybody,
at the Suisse Camaro's of 1967 there were 2 different front bumpers.
One had 2 horns, the other was a simple continuous bumper.
What was the difference when ordering?
Which option, or option package, included this?

Hello Tom,
Front bumper guards were available as RPO V31 for all 3 first-gen model years, refer to http://www.camaros.org/pdf/options.pdf for pricing and number of cars thus fitted.

Hello Tim,
thanks for this list!
Seems like these were explicitly ordered in Switzerland.
Thank you for your help!

I like the look of the Camaro in your first picture Tom, do you know that particular car's other options?

Hello Tim,
this is a true Swiss Camaro with the 283-Cui V-8.
The VIN is at the bottom of the picture.
The options were all the same for 1967 Camaros produced in Switzerland:

- Reduction 3.08: 1
- Differential brake standard
- Disc brakes in front
- Powerbrake
- Power steering
- windshield shower
- Windschield wiper 2 levels
- Rear windows defroster
- reversing lamp
- Engine and trunk lighting
- No radio (the customer had to buy sepparat)

In addition, two rear reflectors had to be installed below the bumper by the importer,
And the Daylight combined with the turn signals.

Nice! So is the last photo a Swiss Camaro that was exported back to the USA, or did the owner put a California novelty plate on it?
