While the Mustang may be credited as the first offering to fall into the category of a pony car, it sure didn’t take other manufacturers long to realize what a marketable concept Ford had gotten into here, with GM introducing a pair of platform-sharing competitors a couple of years later, including the Pontiac Firebird and Chevrolet Camaro, and it’s always fun to find a first-year example when you’re on the hunt for a project such as this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro here on eBay.  The Chevy certainly needs work, but the seller mentions that it’s difficult to find one of these for under ten grand anymore, so somewhere around that price point might be where he’s set the reserve, with the current bid of $6,500 not enough yet for a sale.  The F-Body is in Mesquite, Texas, if you want to go have a look first before deciding how much you’re willing to invest.

The owner tells us he picked this one up locally but offers few details regarding much of anything else, other than the car needs a complete restoration, so we’ll have to let the pictures tell the remainder of the story here.  What seems apparent is the outside is mostly complete other than some front-end components missing, but unfortunately, there’s going to be some bodywork needed and several rust issues to repair, with the driver’s side seeming to show quite a bit of corrosion in the lower extremities.

Things inside aren’t anything to write home about either, with some possible upholstery work having been done decades ago on the front buckets but the rear seat is nowhere to be found.  We do get to see a few shots from underneath showing a coating of what is hopefully mostly surface rust on the frame rails, but nothing is specifically stated about the platform’s overall condition and the floors may be iffy, so I’d probably begin down below and make sure to get it all solid before working my way up to the cosmetic improvements.

Not a word is spoken about the drivetrain other than the seller disclosing this one’s equipped with a 327 engine, but with both the radiator and oil filler caps missing it’s probably pretty dry in there and may have been a very long time since any fluids have been circulating.  The seller doesn’t indicate if this is the original motor and no information is given as to whether or not it still turns, so I’d plan on at minimum an overhaul or maybe even a fresh crate motor to get this one moving down the road again.  Does this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro seem like a worthwhile project to you?
