SS/RS?????
Hey guys have a question about my ss. It has rs options on it but do not know how to tell if it is truly considered a ss/rs. I have decoded the cowl tag and motor and it is a ss350, but it has the reverse lights are in the lower valance panel. The car was hit in the front end back in the 80's and a 68 grill and turn signals were put on it. Also after I stripped the car I could see at one time it had the holes drilled for the chrome rocker panels. Any input would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time.

RE: SS/RS?????
yeah, the chrome rocker panels threw me off too. Are you describing the molding/trim along the door, maybe the carpet holder downer thing (yeah I know not much better at describing)

RE: SS/RS?????
Sorry guys for the confusion. It is a 67 SS camaro. It has the reverse lights in the rear located in the lower valance. The tail lights are solid red. As for the side moldings, when I stripped the car down it had just the solid chrome bar just above the rockers on bottom of the door panel. When I got down to bare metal you could see where at one time it was drilled for the RS flat chrome molding. The car was wrecked in the eighties and in there haste they just slapped on a set of 68 fenders on the front as well as the 68 grille and turn signals. I know this because the car was in the family. I know this car is a SS 350, but I am wondering if it is a RS/SS? Here is the cowl tag 01A 1238
ST 67-12637 LOS-12523
TR 707-Z Y-Y
EL 2MGU 3SDL
4P 5Y

4p does not gaureentee an ss 4P = (L48) SS 350
4p does not gaureentee an ss 4P = (L48) SS 350
In addition to my first research source, I have a handy cowl tag program that gives the breakdown after entering all the parameters. Here are the results:
Decode for body number: 012523
01A = Built the First week of January.
67-12637 = Custom Interior Coupe.
LOS = Built in Van Nuys California.
707 = Custom Yellow Bucket Seats.
Z = (A50) Strato Bucket Seats (without headrests).
Y-Y = Car Color is Butternut Yellow
1238 = internal plant scheduling code.
Options:
1E = (A01) Tinted All Glass
1L = (A67) Fold-down rear seat
2M = (M35) Powerglide Transmission
2G = (D55) Console front compartment
2U = (U57) Tape Player
3S = (Z23) Interior Decor group
3D = (U29) Courtesy Lamp
3L = (Z22) Rally Sport Package
4P = (L48) SS 350
5Y = (A39) Belts All Deluxe
I will add that my first source said that the 2M code stood for the TH400 in LOS cars, which explains the conflicting info.
Another thing to look at is the engine mount frame bracket. The SS350/Z28 mount has 4 dimples on top.

Am I missing something, because the way this statement is worded, it contradicts itself? Isn't an SS350 still an SS?
