i want a 69 camaro rs i am willing to build it as an rs if not found i was wondering if the 69 rs front clip will fit on the 67 and 68 they are alot easier to find

 

I believe the fenders are different.

I take it you don't like the 69 body but do like the 69 RS front end?

I am partial to the 69 body, but I like the 68 RS front. It gives it that blacked out look while the 69 has the see through headlight covers, which do look cool still, just not as mean as a blacked out front end

 

The 69 front clip (fenders, etc) will bolt to an earlier car but won't look right as the 69 fenders have a horizontal crease in them that matches to the door; the earlier doors don't have the crease.

You can buy the complete kit to convert to the RS hideaway headlights for about $875-$950 depending on who you purchase it through.

actually i want a 69 rs bad but cant find a 69 camaro for a reasonable price so i was thinkin maybe i could put the 69 front end on either a 67 or 68 but guess not

 

Whats a "decent price"? I have one fore sale (in my sig) and you can get a RS front end conversion for around $900

 

i wanna build one w/ sbc and a 6 spd that will handle corners like a 4th gen if not better...example i found a 69 camaro no motor,tranny (no big deal) very little interior (thats ok) hole in the floor board by where the shifter shouldve been no carpet seats it needed a windsheild all the heat/ac had been taken out gas tank was set up to be filled through the trunk not behind the license plate done for drag racin bondo in the 1/4 manual brakes wll ot this i could replace but not the 3500 he wanted for it

 

67-68 are interchangable. 69 while similar are not 100% interchangeable. Not only are the front fenders different, the front valences are different, the rear fenders are different (69's have the shark "gills"), the tail panels are different, the doors are different, and the dashes are different. Most of the mechanicals are interchangeable though. (rear, trannys, brakes, engines, etc.)

While a conversion would be possible, it'll look stupid and actually devalue the car. I have seen 67-68 Firebirds with Camaro front clips and 67-68 Camaros with 69 front clips. Yes it can be done, however the market is so jacked right now on all 1st gens, you really won't save much.

If you really have your heart set on a 69 RS, assuming you can't find one in your price range it would be easier and cheaper to convert a plain Jane 69 to an RS optioned car. Most RS panels, parts and components are available from aftermarket suppliers in NOS or reproduction form.
