Help Identifying a 67

[ksuhwail]

Gents, I think I need some help.

I am the new owner of a 67 Camaro and have been pouring over this site trying to find out exactly what type of car I actually have. I am having trouble identifying if this car is actually an SS350 or not.

The car has all the obvious SS features (Proper badges, hood, steering wheel...)

The previous owner, my father-in-law, swears that it is but I'm not quite convinced. 

Here is the info I have...

Door Jamb VIN: 124377N123873
Body Tag: See Attached Image
Engine Info: Partial VIN 10D153196 & Engine ID V0220CNR

After some research, I have deduced the motor is from a 1970 Chevy Caprice. Considering the car currently has a 3-speed auto, I'm betting the transmission also came from that Caprice.

Here is the rub though, the body tag doesn't have the 4P option code but was made in October of 66. I read on this site that 67s from Norwood prior to October may be an SS without this code but I'm not sure exactly when this change over occurred.

I think this car came with a 327 out of the factory.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks guys!

Welcome!  What's the rear axle code?

5/16 or 3/8" fuel line?

You are correct. The 4P designation from Norwood began before your car was built, so it started life as a 327. WHICH 327 is unknown, but it would have been either the base LF7 (327/210) or the optional L30 (327/275).

Does it have a 12 bolt rear?

Thanks everyone! I fairly certain the vehicle has a 10 bolt rear end. I am out of town on business but will check the axle stamping and fuel lines over the holiday weekend and report back. I was told the car originally came with a Powerglide. From reading on this site, it seems all SS350s came with the 12 bolt rear ends but the link/quote below from Hemmings seems to be at slight odds with that. I'm not sure of Hemmings sources though.

"There is some discrepancy about the rear axles used in Camaro Super Sports. The 12-bolt axle seems to be prevalent in all Super Sports, although factory literature suggests that SS 350s with automatic transmissions would've been equipped with 10-bolt axles. That seems to be the case with Powerglide-equipped SS 350s, but not those with Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions. "

I am pretty sure some powerglide SS's were built with a 10 bolt. But your statement that it may have come with a 327 takes the SS part away for sure.

If the 10 bolt axle is original to the car, it's not an SS350.  Most likely a base 327/210 hp.

They got that info from our site. Only applies to 69's.
