Competition for the hot new Ford Mustang “pony car” began to arrive in 1967. And Chevrolet’s Camaro would quickly grab onto the #2 sales spot. Convertibles would account for 11% of sales in ’67, but only 5,285 came equipped with a 250 cubic inch inline-6 (up from 230). The seller’s really rough first-year drop-top may not have been on the road since 1991 (inspection sticker), and the big question is whether it is restorable without a V8 engine? Located in Stanley, New York, this former barn find is available here on eBay, where $4,000 might get you to take it home.

At 221,000 units, the new Camaro was 47% of the sales of the 1967 Mustang, which received its first restyle. But the field was getting crowded as the Pontiac Firebird and Mercury Cougar had also joined the fray (plus the Plymouth Barracuda, which had hit the streets just 17 days before the Ford). The seller’s car began life looking quite different, wearing white paint and a red interior. For whatever reason, that combination didn’t impress a prior owner who repainted it red and dyed (or painted) the interior black. The odometer reads 57,000 miles, an early mark for a car to get parked.

We’re told this Camaro is complete except for the absence of front bucket seats. Wherever it called home for the past 35 years, the top rotted away, and Mother Nature eventually decimated the passenger compartment. There are all sorts of corrosion at work here, some you can see and some you can’t (unibody construction). The floors are pushed upward such that neither door closes properly. The good news is that the convertible-specific parts seem to have survived.

The seller elected to go with photos on the trailer that brought it to his/her domicile. It’s been removed and resides elsewhere on a different set of wheels and tires (not pictured). Possibly original, the 6-banger is said to crank and has compression but no spark. The motor is paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic that has clean fluid (so maybe it works?). The car has no registration or title, which will add to the challenge of whether you would attempt an expensive restoration here.
