When an owner claims low mileage with a classic car, it can be easy to be cynical about that claim. However, when the vehicle in question comes with substantial documentation, that can erase the doubts. That is the case with this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. The owner states that it has 53,000 genuine miles on the clock, and with service records dating back to when it was new, it seems that his claim is valid. He admits that it needs plenty of TLC, but it appears that it is a strong candidate for restoration. Located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, you will find this Camaro listed for sale here on Craigslist. The owner has set a sale price of $19,500, but it seems that he may entertain offers. Once again, Barn Finder Pat L has demonstrated an excellent ability to spot classics for us. So thank you for that, Pat.

Apart from the recently installed Rally wheels, the owner claims that this Marina Blue Camaro is original and unrestored. The paint has its share of minor imperfections and chips, but it still holds a good shine. The panels have also accumulated a few minor dings and bruises, but it’s the general lack of rust that seems to be this classic’s strongest point. There are small spots of rust across the exterior, but none of these is particularly bad. I believe that most could be addressed with patches, meaning that wholesale panel replacement need not be an option. The lower extremities look particularly clean, which is encouraging. We received no information on the state of the floors or frame, so it may require an in-person inspection to determine whether there are any significant problems in these areas. I’m unsure whether there might also be some Bondo in some of the lower sections of this car, including the lower front fenders. That is another thing that potential buyers could determine via inspection. The external trim looks like it would restore okay, while the glass is in good order. If the buyer wanted to return the car to a mechanically roadworthy state and drive it as-is, I think that it would be up to the task.

The engine bay of this Camaro is home to a six-cylinder engine, but I’m unsure whether this is the 230 or the 250ci powerplant. The listing indicates that the Camaro also features an automatic transmission, but the supplied photos seem to suggest that bolted to the back of this motor is a three-speed manual unit. That is is not a combination that is likely to get hearts racing, and many buyers may consider performing an upgrade in this area. However, before I did that, I would contemplate this car’s history. While the Camaro doesn’t currently run or drive, it appears that it will take little more than a new fuel pump to rectify this. The owner claims that it has 53,000 genuine miles on the clock, and with service records dating right back to Day One, it seems that he can substantiate this claim. With such low mileage, performing a faithful restoration might be the best path with this car. Otherwise, potential buyers will have plenty of options if they want to extract more performance from this classic. It will all come down to a matter of personal preference.

The interior photos that the owner provides are pretty limited, but they paint a generally positive picture. What can be seen of the upholstered surfaces looks quite reasonable, with no apparent signs of severe damage or rips. The dash looks pretty clean for a vehicle of this age, while the pad looks okay. The factory radio has made way for an aftermarket radio/cassette player, but there have had been no other additions. Basically, the interior is serviceable, but it would benefit from a refresh at some point. That is something that the next owner could consider. If they don’t aim for a faithful restoration, they may choose to re-trim this Camaro in a different combination of colors and materials.

When you consider the mileage claims made about this 1967 Camaro, it would seem that a faithful restoration would be the obvious path for the buyer to follow. However, I don’t doubt that we will have plenty of readers who have varying opinions on this. This Camaro represents a blank canvas as a project car in such cases. With what you’ve seen and know, would you follow the faithful path, or would you build the Camaro of your dreams? It’s a classic project car, so there are no right or wrong answers. Merely varying tastes. That’s what makes the classic scene so great.
