Brand new here with a 68 I just bought...Besides the side markers are there any other outside cosmetic differences.between 67 and 68?...Thanks in advance.

 

67 have wind wings

 

Depends on the grill options, but the front turn signals in the grill are round in the 67', the 68' are rectangular.

 

On the RS and SS the turn signals are square and below the grille line. Here is my 67 RS.

 

With this years car shows and "cruisins ' coming up you can see them side by side to see the subtle differences between the two years.

 

The 69 is a different animal. As said above just look at them and note some details. The Gills on the quarter panels, the grill comes to more of a point. Even the body lines are different. IMO the 69 just looks longer then the 67 and 68.

The biggest difference between the 67-68 is the doors. The 67 have the wing windows like a pickup truck. The 68 just has one pc of glass in the door window. There are many other styling differences and different options 67 to 68 but in my opinion these are drive by features to quickly show what year you are dealing with.

 

Um, I'm not a guaranteed expert. I just drove them in the day, didn't really study them. But I'm fairly sure the turn signals were only below the bumper on the RS option, due to the moving headlight covers. I believe the Super Sport model was in the grill.
One other 'curious' difference, that only applied to the SS 396 in 1968 is that the tail-light panel is painted semi-gloss black (except if it was a black car). I imagine this was so that in 1968 when you came up behind one, maybe at a stoplight, you would go "oh my". Back then, a 396 was a lot of engine. Nowadays, not so much, but they're still pretty cool. I really like how they make your chest vibrate.
Welcome aboard!!! We all admire 1st gen's so feel free to post some pics. Just explore the " Manage Attachments" button below... Even I figured it out eventually.

 

Owner chosen, but if OE outside Rear viwe mirrors are still on, '67 are round, '68 are rectangular.

 

Just a FYI that is not just a camaro thing. It's on other sports cars as well. The black is suppose to make the brake lights show up better in direct sunlight. Its a track car thing.

 

Oh, OK, that makes sense. So, keeping my focus on Camaros, was the 1968 SS 350 tail-light pan also painted black? And of course, same question for the Z-28, since that was actually the 'race car' of the breed? I had seen documents that referred to the black paint on the SS 396 that said that was the only Camaro so painted, and the only year it was done, and I was just searching for a possible reason that Chevrolet would elect to make that a mark of distinction. The inference in the article I read was that it was because it was the 'muscle car king' of the series, and Chevrolet wanted the SS 396 to stand out as such. I wasn't aware that SS 396's were part of a racing stable, although I know the Z-28 and its special motor (283 crank in '327' block) was intended for racing, and those cars did so quite well (take that, you Mustang!).
