Until recently, this 1967 Camaro had belonged to the same family since new. The seller unearthed it in a Kansas garage. It had occupied that spot for more than 20-years, and it seems to have survived the ordeal well. It is dusty, but it doesn’t appear to be rusty. The time has come for it to go to a new home and for someone to return it to its rightful place on our roads. It has made its way from Kansas to Fort Collins, Colorado, and has been listed for sale here on Facebook. All you need to do is hand the owner $25,000, and you can call this classic pony car your own.

The Camaro is finished in Granada Gold, and I believe that the paint is original. It still wears the accumulated dust from more than two decades of inactivity, so it is hard to be sure how healthy the paint is. I can see some marks and flaws, but there’s nothing horrendous visible in the supplied photos. I’m itching to give this classic a wash and polish because I suspect it would present quite well. There is a dent in the top of the driver’s side front fender, but apart from a couple of tiny dings, the rest of the panels look straight. The garage that this car occupied was said to be dry, and the dust would seem to support that claim. That makes the lack of visible rust no real surprise. The seller doesn’t mention any issues with the floors or frame, so it seems that the news is all pretty positive. As well as the dent that I mentioned, the rear bumper is bent. The rest of the trim appears to be in good condition, while I can’t spot any problems with the tinted glass.

When the original owner ordered the Camaro, they ticked the boxes on the Order Sheet beside the 327ci V8, the 2-speed Powerglide transmission, power steering, and power brakes. This is the 210hp version of the 327, and it would have been enough to send the Camaro down the ¼ mile in a neat 17 seconds. The car hasn’t run since it was parked two decades ago, and the seller has made no attempt to get it running again. That decision is probably a wise one because it does deserve a thorough inspection before anyone hits the key. It will probably also need a fuel system clean, and possibly some other work as well. The good news is that it appears that the drivetrain is original, and the 327 is said to turn by hand. That means that getting it running and roadworthy might not be that hard.

If you want to gauge the care that a classic car has received during its life, checking the condition of an original interior like this is not a bad starting point. This interior is trimmed in Gold vinyl, and like the exterior, the first thing that it needs is a good clean. That will determine what will need to be replaced to bring it back to a factory-fresh appearance. At face value, I don’t think that the buyer will be spending much money on this unmolested interior. Both front seats have some splits and tears, and while these aren’t bad, they are probably beyond repair. A pair of new covers can be found for around $260, and with the rest of the upholstery looking good, that would make a big difference. The big-ticket item will be the dash pad. This has a crack in it, so the buyer might choose to throw a cover over it or to have it repaired. The other alternative is to spend $360 on a replacement, and given the condition of the rest of the interior, that’s the path that I would choose.. The original owner chose some excellent features inside the car, including an AM radio, a console, and air conditioning. When you combine those features with the drivetrain combination, this would have been a comfortable and relaxed cruiser in its prime.

This 1967 Camaro proves that there are still some great finds languishing in barns, sheds, and garages across the country. It isn’t perfect, but it is a solid classic that would make a great project car. The buyer will have to decide whether to restore it or revive it and drive it as an original survivor. I admit that there is a lot of attraction in returning it to a factory-fresh state, but this is a vehicle with a story to tell. With that thought in mind, I’d choose the latter option. What about you?
