45k Original Miles: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

Tidy survivors always generate interest in the classic community and can provide insight into the thinking of the original owner. Such is the case with this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. It has a fascinating selection of options and a genuine 45,000 miles on its odometer. It is as unmolested as they come and appears to need nothing but a new home. This classic pony car is listed here on eBay in Elma, New York. Bidding sits at $26,899, which is short of the reserve. The seller offers a BIN of $39,500, and I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Larry D for spotting this beauty.

This Camaro demonstrates what is possible if a classic’s owner treats it respectfully. With fifty-five years under its belt, it wears most of its original Tahoe Turquoise paint. It has never undergone any restoration but has been garage-kept most of its life. The seller indicates the vehicle has only received minor touch-ups, although they don’t elaborate on which areas received the attention. It shines impressively, and the factory Black vinyl top shows no evidence of deterioration or bubbling that could suggest hidden nasty surprises. The seller states the car is rock-solid, showing only a single rust spot. It is visible on the wheel-well lip in this shot, and addressing it should be straightforward and inexpensive. The chrome, trim, and factory hubcaps look excellent for their age, and the tinted glass seems flawless.

Turning our attention to this Camaro’s interior is where its story becomes intriguing. The list of options the original owner selected helps this car stand out. They chose to forego a floor shifter for the transmission, and there is no console. They spent $356.00 on air conditioning and $100.10 for power windows but decided to delete the radio. It seems they may have preferred physical comfort to in-car entertainment. The Camaro’s interior presentation is as impressive as the exterior, although we are hamstrung across the entire vehicle by poor-quality photography. The Black vinyl upholstered surfaces are free from visible wear or problems, and the same seems true of the carpet. The dash and pad are spotless, and there’s no wear on the wheel. I can’t spot any aftermarket additions, suggesting the interior is exactly as it was when the Camaro left the factory.

Powering this Camaro is the company’s 327ci V8 that sends 210hp to the rear wheels via a two-speed Powerglide transmission. Although the two-speed can hamper performance, this car should still return a 17-second ¼-mile ET and a top speed of 121mph. The seller claims the car has a genuine 45,000 miles on the clock, with the last 10,000 accumulated since 1983. They don’t mention verifying evidence, but it appears the Camaro has a known ownership history that may make confirmation possible. The overall body and interior condition also make the claim seem plausible. The new owner won’t need to spend a dime on this classic’s drivetrain because it runs and drives perfectly. It sits nicely on the road, with no shimmying or other issues indicating wear or abuse. It is a turnkey survivor that needs nothing but a new owner.

This 1967 Camaro could be a hot ticket for an enthusiast seeking an above-average survivor. Its presentation is hard to criticize, while the interior options add to its story. It appears to need nothing, and although it isn’t perfect, it is guaranteed to receive favorable comments from enthusiasts when they learn it is unrestored. Although the BIN figure might be more than many average enthusiasts can afford, it is realistic. Those with the available funds could become the next owner of an American icon that is an appreciating asset. That sounds like a winning combination to me.

    Beautiful. Change nothing. Store in garage in bad weather. Drive in spring, summer and fall. So refreshing to not see the boring 69 Z28s full of garbage aftermarket parts.

    My brother owns one in burgundy with a gold nose ring to match its interior. The car underwent a total restoration 20 years ago but looks brand new. The interior is original but my brother installed the 4 barrel, front disc brakes, dual exhaust and Rallye wheels and tires himself all to factory spec. He’s the original owner having bought the car while he was in the Air Force. 55year! Beautiful car.

    A lot of the first generation Camaros had a column shift. I knew a kid back in the day who had a 69 with a 307 and a three on the tree.

    Impressive underside pictures on ebay site, picture wise, the overall condition is certainly one of the better “original” Camaros I have seen in quite a while. With the current market on these the $40k BIN price may have been a mistake, is the BIN price a cast in stone deal with eBay or is the sale allowed to go higher?

    They didn’t “Delete” the radio, they never ordered one. Radios were optional.
    Interesting options ordered for sure.

    These cars like many had their rust weak spots for my brothers it was the trunk. Water would collect in there. But the restoration took over two years but when it was done it was done right!

      Not having the console and floor shifter is odd, but doesn’t make it more valuable. Same with the hubcaps…save the hubcaps and steel wheels and put it on replica rally wheels. It really should have front disc brakes installed for safety.
