If you’ve been in the market for an early F-Body to take on as a project, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro has already had some work done and seems to be at a decent stage for someone else to take over. There are a couple of mysteries here, such as why the restoration halted plus some questions regarding the engine, but this one’s a desirable first-year example and also a convertible, so I hope somebody will want to get this cool bowtie back on the road soon. The Chevy is in Parkville, Maryland, and can be spotted here on eBay, where the opening bid of $13,500 has yet to be placed.
The 327 has plenty of visual appeal, but details here are sparse, such as whether the small block is original to the car or exactly what the next owner should expect from it. The seller states that the engine turns, but needs to be hooked up. He stops shy of saying it’s been gone through and gotten an overhaul but does indicate hump heads are present, presumably from a ’67 Corvette. A few other new parts include a fuel pump, starter, gas tank, radiator, and a refurbished carburetor. There’s also a rebuilt Muncie M21 manual transmission. Cosmetically, the block looks great on the outside with that fresh red paint and hose dressing, but there’s some overspray on the manifold, and it would be nice to know how deeply the motor has been dug into. In a best-case scenario, put all the parts on and maybe it’ll be ready to perform for years to come.
I’ve seen far worse sheet metal on a vintage Camaro, and although some of the panels will require straightening and rust repair, the corrosion level here overall doesn’t seem excessive. Probably the worst area is the driver’s quarter, which might require replacing, and the front fenders will for sure need some attention. However, other than some missing keyholes and front valance, this one seems pretty much complete on the outside, with the trunk lid specified as a new component.
As recently as three months ago the seat foam was replaced, and both the front buckets and rear seat appear to need nothing further. The dash could use refreshing, but the floors have already been patched and a new trunk pan has just been installed, so this one’s gotten a good head start and seems to be at a decent point for the next person to pick up on. Is this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro convertible a project you’d have any interest in completing?
A decent price In today’s markets with seasonal lows now at holidays.
While, I would liked to see underneath pics of pans and frame the outer body looks okay. These trunk pans usually had rust with tops leaking.
I could definitely put this back running quickly.
Not sure why seller didn’t get engine set up and have it with a running video .
Good luck with sale !
It’s interesting that the rear seat back upholstery doesn’t match the fronts. Does anybody remember them coming that way? Nice project either way as long as what has been done was done right.
No interest with hodge pog of work being done with no distinct focus on completing one area before moving on to the next.
Being the opening bid of $13,500 seams to me a bit excessive. My initial thought is $8,500 would be a more appropriate number. Final selling price of 17,500 would be reasonable.
That’s a mighty pristine looking VIN tag and rivets……………………
I didn’t see a Vin tag on firewall not worth 13;500.
“A” pillar. It’s in the photos on the eBay auction.
Buyer should check partial vin number stamped on top of cowl (remove cowl grille) to see if it matches tag, otherwise one could get stuck with fraudulent car.
Its a topless first year camaro and i have seen worse but my full on restoration days are done and our canadian money is worthless right now ..
Funny , the liars said the usa would tank with orange man ..
Just my thoughts…
Very over priced when you can get one totally redone and running for $20,000 check online. It would cost at least that to redo this one!!!!! 😂
I never see them done and running for sale at $20 k
Try utube
You won’t find a completely “done” one for $20k. If you are seeing ads at that price, they’re scams.
The pricing on this is fair, the VIN tag just looks wrong for the age of the car.
That’s the down stroke to even getting its foot in the shop.
Sorry Fred are you Rip Van Winkle 20k isn’t going to get you much
