First-generation Camaros have long been one of the most recognizable American muscle cars, and examples with upgraded performance components continue to draw interest from enthusiasts. This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro coupe, currently listed on eBay, blends the classic styling of Chevrolet’s inaugural Camaro year with a performance-focused drivetrain. Thanks for the tip, Curvette!
Finished in blue, the car is described by the seller as having received a newer paint job in Elkhart Blue Metallic. The seller states the car presents in excellent condition and highlights the finish as a major visual feature of the vehicle.
Under the hood sits a 400 stroker roller engine that the seller estimates produces between 450 and 475 horsepower. That power is paired with a built Turbo 400 automatic transmission equipped with a slap shifter. Together, the combination is intended to deliver strong straight-line performance while maintaining the classic muscle car character associated with early Camaros.
Several additional mechanical upgrades are also mentioned in the listing. Cooling is handled by a four-core aluminum radiator, while the suspension includes coil-over shocks. The car is also equipped with disc brakes to improve stopping performance compared to earlier drum-brake setups.
According to the seller, the Camaro runs very well and has been maintained to keep it in strong operating condition. The car carries a clean title, and the listing describes it as rust-free. While the mileage is listed at 20,000, no further explanation is provided regarding whether that figure reflects original or estimated mileage. As with many classic cars, prospective buyers would likely want to verify details in person or through further documentation.
The first-generation Camaro continues to hold a strong place in the collector car world thanks to its timeless design and wide aftermarket support. Cars like this one show how easily these early Camaros can be adapted with modern performance upgrades while retaining their classic muscle car appeal.
With a 400 stroker engine, upgraded suspension components, and a fresh paint finish, this Camaro appears aimed squarely at someone who wants classic looks combined with serious power. The question is: would you keep this first-year Camaro as a street machine, or take it even further with additional performance upgrades?
This looks like a very recent build, call the big block Chevy a stroker 400 is a bit baffling as the 396 was later a 402 so what is it? Seller doesn’t know? Did someone build a 402 and throw in a stroker kit, then someone should know the engine size. This may turn into someone’s nightmare. Looks like it’s in a shop so is it a quick flip because? Lots of parts thrown in the build but a through inspection is highly recommended in my opinion. Yeah that’s just my two cents worth.
It could be a 400 with a 3.875 stroke like I have, makes it a 414
It looks like a 400 small block. 4.125 bore with 3.75 stroke.
that makes it a factory 400. When talking “stroker” SBCs, I think the 383.
The car has no overriding theme. The paint and wheels suggests retro, but it ends there, nothing beyond that is retro. With an asking price of $37,000 it’s up to the seller to justify the asking price. There is no explanation of their use of the term stroker 400, claimed horsepower numbers are meaningless. The parts selection doesn’t appear bad, but it’s rather generic name brand parts similar to any number of cars at a typical show. It’s too bad they didn’t follow the retro style exterior with a handful of late-1960’s or early-1970’s (day 2) speed equipment, that’s something that could make the car stand out in a crowd.

The car looks good but, that hood is horrendous. Looks like they took a Vette hood and a stock Camaro hood, threw them in a blender, and pulled out this mess… oh yeah and then painted the top white so it would stand out.
I am a 67 Camaro guy as my first car was a 67 SS 350 Nantucket Blue w/ black interior back in 73. I put Cragars on it as well with MT 50s on the back and 70s on the front before the radials were available or affordable. I also bought a spoiler for it from Bill Allen Chevrolet. Dropped it off to get painted and rolled it the next day. A week before I turned 17 so I had to go to Juvie,
The good old days LOL.
