No Reserve: 1967 Chevrolet Camaro

Due to various circumstances, purchasing a turnkey classic can be the only alternative available to some enthusiasts. If you’re in that situation and lean towards cars wearing the Bow-Tie, this 1967 Camaro could be too tempting to resist. It presents well as a driver-grade car and seems to be in good mechanical health. However, the seller’s decision to list it with No Reserve could be the icing on the cake. The Camaro is offered here on eBay in Miami Beach, Florida. Bidding has raced to $15,800, and with No Reserve in play, a new home is mere days away for this beauty.

The seller indicates they purchased the Camaro from the widow of its second owner and that it was in their care for twenty-four years. They admit it has previously received minor panel and paint repairs, although the depth of shine and lack of flaws in the Marina Blue paint makes me wonder whether it received a complete repaint. The panels are impressively straight for a vehicle of this age, but the best news for those considering joining the bidding war is the lack of apparent rust. The exterior looks clean, while the underside shots reveal no problems with the floors or rails. The trim and glass are in good order, with the seller indicating that the lights and wipers work as they should.

Although the seller doesn’t specifically state what motor powers this Camaro, the engine suffix confirms it is a 327ci V8 producing 210hp. That power feeds to the road via a two-speed Powerglide transmission, with power steering helping provide an effortless driving experience. If the new owner pointed this classic at a ¼-mile, the journey would take 17 seconds. It is worth reflecting upon the impact the Powerglide has on vehicles of this type. If the original owner had selected the manual option, that ET figure would have dropped to 16 seconds. The seller claims the car has a genuine 57,000 miles on the clock, but they don’t mention verifying evidence. The Camaro sat for a while before entering their care, so they flushed the fuel system, replaced the brake hoses, and performed other work to ensure it was in excellent health. The engine presents superbly, and it doesn’t flatter to deceive. They say the V8 feels strong, and it appears it is now a turnkey proposition for the new owner.

The theme of tidy presentation continues when we open the doors and examine this Camaro’s interior. The Black vinyl upholstered surfaces look excellent, with no wear or physical damage. The same is true of the carpet, dash, and console. The pad has a significant crack on the passenger side and considering how well the rest of the interior presents, the buyer will probably splash $260 on a reproduction pad. Aftermarket additions include console-mounted gauges, a column-mounted tach, and a radio/cassette player. The tach needs tweaking, and some loose wires are visible behind the console. Otherwise, the interior requires very little to present at its best.

Although it isn’t perfect, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro is a car its new owner can enjoy immediately. Its rust-free status is a bonus, with its mechanical health and odometer reading adding to its desirability. People like what they see, with the Camaro attracting twenty-five bids in under two days. There is time for those who are wavering to make a play for this classic, and I believe the action will intensify before the hammer falls. What do you think the new owner will pay to park this classic in their garage?
