Jim: I was told by a Camaro guy that the RS is an option ,as well as SS is an option. I had the same question. He has a 69 RS SS 396 and swears its original. Hope this helps.

Hi Jim,
I am not a Camaro aficionado, but what do you mean by RS SS 350 5 sp? I always thought that the RS was a small block (350) and the SS was a big block, the same way that the "sister car" (Firebird) had a Formula (350) and a Trans Am (400).
I'm not claiming to know the answer nut I am curious about the "RS SS" thing. I like those first gen Camaros and would buy a convertible if I could. Now you can buy basically all of the body parts too, and even a jig for aligning the parts, so you can basically build one from scratch. Pretty cool.
