I’ve always been a fan of first-year model cars no matter what make or model they happen to be, and the Chevrolet Camaro is certainly no exception. The car started out strong with a great design right off the bat, and there’s just something about a ’67 that’s appealed to me ever since I was young, maybe because I had a good friend in high school that owned one. I first checked out this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS here on eBay a couple of days ago, and with the beautiful condition, I’m a bit surprised it’s still available, as a buy-it-now option is offered here for $39,500. The bidding also continues to climb upward and has reached $31,300 so far with the reserve not yet met, but I’m guessing this one’s going to exchange hands one way or another before all is said and done.
The Super Sport is located in Scappoose, Oregon, but is said to have originally been a California car, with the seller quick to point out that the Capri Cream finish is a rare color. Apparently, only about 5% of inaugural-year Camaros came from the factory wearing this hue, which is kind of surprising considering how well it blends with the body lines. The seller also mentions that the car underwent a restoration about 3 years ago but doesn’t tell us specifically what kind of bodywork was done, but the car presents beautifully outside so it seems to have been performed to a high standard.
1967 was the first year a 350 engine was offered by Chevrolet, and the Camaro SS came with a great one that got you nearly 300 horsepower right out the door. This one’s still got the number-matching block under the hood, which has a Weiand manifold with a Holley carb on top. The Muncie 4-Speed manual transmission is also the original component, but the 12-Bolt rear-end couldn’t be saved, so the car now has a 10-Bolt out back with 3.73 gears inside.
The well-preserved condition continues inside, with just about everything we can see still looking good plus there are some cool features in there such as a tilt-steering column and a console with additional optional gauges. The chassis is also said to have been redone and the trunk area seems to be in very nice shape, and I’m seeing very little here that’s not making me wish I had the room and an extra 40 grand sitting around. What are your thoughts on this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport?
What a beautiful example of a first generation. Buy it now seems reasonable in today’s market. IMHO. I’m sure some experts will point out all the flaws I missed. Lol. I’d be proud to sport this one around town though. GLWTS
I disagree with you Mike. This is a VERY nice driver. Good write up too.
Big fan of first gens and my first one was a ’67. I cut my hot-rodding teeth on it. 46 years later I still dream once in a while about finding that old car squirreled away behind the shed or hidden in a corner of the shop. Good dreams.
It’s gorgeous, has three pedals, and those wheels!! But those Cooper Cobras would go for sure. It will make someone happy!
Cooper Cobras must go! Very pretty car overall. Manual trans is definitely my preference. I don’t hate on automatics but, I wouldn’t buy one.
What is wrong with the Coopers? What would you replace them with? Raised white letters were a big deal shortly after this time, they ruled in the 1970s. I recall having my whitewalls laughed at around that time.
Love the more curvy fenders of the 67-68’s
Does the trim tag tell if it’s a real SS?
The 10 bolt rear end story would need some verification. Like looking to see if the date code on the axle matches the car build date.
Yes that is what I thought as all SS and Z28 cars came with 12 bolts in 67 so I would want to see the trim tag to verify it’s a real SS. If it is real the SS 350 with 4 spd was rare as most came with auto’s or the big blocks when SS was ordered.
Very nice example. I particularly like the subtle yellow SS stripe around the nose.
WHY would you replace a 12 bolt rear with a 10 bolt rear ??? Makes no sense whatsoever ! It’s not like 12 bolt rears are that rare. That’s like replacing that 350 with a 6 cylinder. Really ?? Something doesn’t sounds right here.
My thoughts exactly why would you change a 12 bolt to a 10 bolt especially with a 4 speed unless the insides are all aftermarket parts
It’s a real SS, the 4P on the trim tag confirms that.
A beauty and rare.
