The Camaro debuted in 1967 and was Chevy’s answer to the popular Ford Mustang. It quickly established itself as the #2 player in the pony car field. The convertible model with an inline-6 was one of the rarest of the first-year Camaros at just 5,285 copies out of 220,906 total. Not an SS or RS, this one’s been off the road for 15 years and has some body damage but runs just fine.
We’re told this Chevy is numbers matching, but that might not get many folks excited as a 230 cubic inch six-banger is likely under the hood. It’s paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, so this was a fairly basic Camaro when it left the factory. There is some disagreement on the mileage of the car, which the seller has settled on at just shy of 50,000. The automobile was stored for a decade and a half and required an external gas can to work at first. But we’re told it drives smoothly now and you can take it anywhere.
Most of the body and paint seem to be okay except the car took a hit in the right rear. That may require a new quarter panel and bumper (and possibly more). We’re not privy to any photos of the interior so we assume it’s at least passable. The seller says he/she would like to restore the drop-top, but advancing age has taken its toll. Located in Chicopee, Massachusetts, this survivor-quality Camaro is available here on eBay for $15,000.
The first picture is stunning. This car needs restored just like that.
Its a lil 230 six with around 150-155 ponies and a 1 barrel Rochester carb.
My 64 Chevelle has the same engine with chrome breather and valve cover. I an surprised GM didn’t do the same with this engine. I have a upgraded 2 barrel Rochester on mine
It needs some love with a rear quarter panel, bumper and maybe the rear frame straightened from a hard hit.
I see this going LS with a trans and rearend swap.
The distributor looks swapped out to a petronics possibly.
Good luck with sale.
Oh my goodness! This is near perfect, when you fix up the accident damage. I wouldn’t change a thing other than a repaint, body repair, and odds and sods. Such a great car , I cannot think it lasts very long. I hope it is as good underneath as it is on top!
I wish I was in a position to purchase it.

Wow, that lead photo shows its good side. I agree with repairing and keeping it in its original glory. Tooling around the countryside in this would be pure delight.
Gas can in the engine compartment is as safe as a open container of fuel near a flame
Just waiting for the stray spark from the old ignition wires to make things exciting.
Where’s the last guys saying to drop a last in this one??!
SB The LS guys not last guys. Spell check sucks.
She’s a beauty until you see her backside. Reminds me of a girl I dated in college.
I wish they had better pictures of how much of the rear quarter is smashed but it’s one I would let my granddaughter practice on she graduated college for auto body repair
I once owned a 1967 Camaro coupe produced in late 1966 with few options (AM radio and bucket seats). It also had a 250 cu. in. inline-6 with three-on-the-tree. I loved that car and was finally talked into selling it to a neighbor who begged me to sell it to them for several years. I still have fond memories of driving something so basic.
Did u know you could get an RS with either 6 cyl? & did the salesman mention it – or the very quick steering ratio option?
I would bet your car no longer has the perfectly running 6 – if the car was not junked or crushed.
Sometime around 1989 a girl I knew from the bowling alley here in town bought a beautiful blue 67 Camaro convertible. It had the 6 with a 3 speed with a floor shift, at least I think it was a 3 speed. It had a floor shift column in it. She said it was her dream car so I was surprised to see it sitting in her front yard with a for sale sign about 6 months later. I was dealing with some driving issues at the time and my lawyer asked me if I knew of any interesting cars for sale so I told him where it was. I didn’t know the street address so I told him to turn by the Ferris Wheel restaurant from 71 hiway and go about a block and a half and you will see it sitting to the left, well he came in from the other direction and saw a chevelle sitting at a house so he stopped there. Dumbass must of thought I didn’t know a chevelle from a Camaro. I had to see him for court later that week and he said it was a chevelle not a camaro. I told him that he was about a block away from where I sent him. He finally found it and it was still sitting there but apparently sold, he said he offered more than what the asking was but they wouldn’t back out of the sale. I had a card from him that he wrote on that he would give me a $1000 finders fee for finding him a hemi car. It took a few years but I found a 66 hemi charger and he didn’t want that body style so he wouldn’t pay me for it. Lawyers, SMH
Lol, am I the only one who would buy this thing and change almost everything? 1967 Ralley wheels? Check. Small block chevy motor? Check. Trunk lid spoiler? Check. Cowl induction hood? Check. Bumble Bee nose stripe? Check.
Too few pictures so I’ll pass…..lots hiding due to the lack of them.
I believe the engine in this car is a 250 cid
The 230 cid was painted blue. It made 140 hp. The red 250 cranked out 155hp. There was a High Output version available that made 195 hp!

No such animal – maybe u saw a Pontiac OHC 6 transplanted in the Nova.
I never seen a chevy 6 cyl from the ’60s painted blue.
Maybe I’m the only one who’s suspicious of this ad.
Few photos, no photo of VIN plate, low Buy-It-Now price, lightweight text description, and no owner direct contact info. I wouldn’t consider sending any money without personally inspecting this car.
To JoeNYWF64. if you Google Chevy 230 cid , you will find that from 1962 to 1967 the engine was painted blue green.
All i can find is 2 youtube videos …
“Chevy 230 timing and carb adjustment review”
bt that is a T R U C K with a 230 painted that color – but not a ’60s CHEVY CAR.
However, there was for a very short time a 215 cube OHV strait 6 version offered only in some pontiacs painted blue in the youtube video …
“Timing a GM inline 6 for the first time. Chevy 194,230,250 Pontiac 215”
Of course the much much heavier(than even a small block!) older different blue flame 6 is indeed painted a shade of blue.
As for the 195hp chevy 250 6 cyl, where did you find info on THAT? & in what cars or trucks did it come in? & what are the modifications?!
Perhaps that motor was available only OUTSIDE the USA?
It is a beauty and it only needs a total resto ! Trunk pan is shot , spring tabs look crunchy and white perfectly hides the waves, patches and junk , a total restoration costs a lot of money , certainly more than the worth of a 6 banger camaro …
