According to Chevrolet Public Relations' ads, electrifying things happened when the Rally Sport Camaro was ordered. Introduced into the 1967 lineup, the hideaway headlamps and unique tail lights were $105 more than the base price of the Sport Coupe. A full-width grille, lower body side moldings, RS emblems on the fenders, grille and fuel filler cap, plus color-keyed body accent stripes were part of the dress-up packaging. In addition to these eye pleasers, the RS came with bright metal front and rear wheel opening moldings, and the Sport Coupe edition had a matching drip gutter molding.

   The most outstanding feature of the Rally Sport, of course, was the concealed headlight system. The 1967 RS utilized two electric motors, three relays, in-line diodes, a circuit breaker, limit switches, and other miscellaneous parts. It did have its drawbacks though. When ice and snow got onto the headlights covers, the motors would freeze up which in turn would freeze the headlight covers in place. It should be noted that the 1967 Rally Sport system used a special mounting plate for the three relays.

   The RS also had a distinctive rear end styling - a special rectangular back-up lamp under the bumper was a standard feature exclusive to the Rally Sport.

   Any number of power teams went into the Rally Sport. The standard 140-hp Turbo-Thrift 230 six-cylinder or the 210-hp Turbo-Fire 327 V8 were standard recommendations but if you needed more horsepower you could select another 327 V8 with a four-barrel carburetor and 275-hp. If you were really greedy for power, it was suggested to move on up to the SS series where you could step into the 350 V8 with 295-hp, making yourcar and RS/SS Camaro.

   The Rally Sport was favorably ordered with custom interior. This was the thin-line strato-bucket seats highlighted in white or black contrasting insert stripes that framed the embossed seats and back rests. Whenever the RS option was ordered, automatically the interior boasted an RS in the steering wheel center whether standard or custom upholstery appointment.

   In 1968 Chevrolet changed their way of thinking. The electrical system of the RS was now a vacuum engine style. Gone were the electric motors and wiring, but the system did maintain the same grille, headlight covers and header panel. This helped to keep the cost of the cars down. The 1968 vacuum system utilized a large reservoir, two vacuum actuators, hoses, bellcranks, relay, headlight switch and other miscellaneous parts.

   There were only slight changes by the time the 1969 Rally Sport premiered. Now if the headlight system failed, it was still possible to operate the car without getting out to turn the headlight covers by hand. GM had perfected the design of the grille as well as the headlight cover assembly.

   The Rally Sport was available on every Camaro Sport Coupe or Convertible. It could be combined with performance options such as the SS or Z28, and the MOTORVATION gave you the choice from a small long-block six to the famed 427 cid of the ZL-1.
