Re: 67 SS RS 396 4 SPEED PACE CAR
 

Congrats on a cooolllll carrrrrr !!!! i guess the hideaways were not working early on..and that's why GM switched to the vacuum hideaways...and are they the "simulated mags" in that original pic?..dig the red stripes...cool color pic...

So what is the story on the original owner buying the car ..and keeping it so long?? If you don't mind my asking...I just think that is one of the coolest parts of a car like this !!

Thanks for sharing.... Max

Looks like a drum-brake car with N96 covers. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I thought that you had to get front disc brakes with a big block 67 Camaro? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

The only 67 Camaro that required front disc brakes was the Z/28. Disc brakes were optional but not required on any other 67 Camaro.

Bruce, mine has drums. Also, in '67 the disc option required the Rally ("Disc Brake") wheel, like your brother's Camaro. From '68-on it didn't--you could get steelies with hubcaps/wheelcovers on disc cars and the Rally wheel became an option, I think on all cars drum or disc.

To get a bigblock i believe you had to order the SS package which included discbrakes. No factory bigblocks with drumbrakes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Absolutely false about SS cars requiring disc brakes!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

SS package did not include disc brakes until 1969.

Re: 67 SS RS 396 4 SPEED PACE CAR
 

Same with Chevelles. Disc were an option on the 67 and 68 SS and part of the 69 and up SS package. The 67 and 68 had 4 piston calipers.
