1967 Camaros ordered by the Swiss plant

[KurtS]

Thomas generously provided documentation on 65 1967 Camaros that were built in NOR and then shipped to Switzerland as SUP's. (The Swiss plant also assembled Camaros.) There were limited details on the cars, but here's what we can glean from the data.

Drivetrain - While most (53) were V8's, there were 12 L6 cars. Of the V8's, three were SS350 cars (2 manual, 1 auto) and five were LF7 (base 327) with four of the five getting an automatic transmission. No info on the other 45 V8 engines. All the L6's got a manual transmission except for one convertible. Whereas the V8's favored automatics over manuals by a 3:1 ratio.. I believe that autos were perceived as more of a luxury - most European cars were manuals then.

15 convertibles (including 2 L6 cars) and 50 coupes. There were 12 different colors ordered, but most (17) were white. The next most common colors were: 13 gold, 9 red, 6 turquoise, and 6 maroon. It is notable that they only ordered 1 butternut yellow, which was one of the top 2 colors in the US in 67.
They started ordering cars at the start of production and from September through November, there were 31 cars built. A bit of a pause in December, then 32 more cars were built from January to March. No cars were ordered after March for the 1967 model year, due to the logistics of getting the cars to the port, shipped, and through customs and then homologated. So far, all the known SUP's have had power windows, consoles, deluxe seatbelts, bumper guards, and style trim (and one rally sport). Most of the cars also have deluxe interiors, except for the eight L6 cars that were built later in the year - they all had standard interiors, presumably to keep the price down.
