When the Chevy Camaro was introduced in 1967, it had a formidable task to do: unseat the king of the “pony car” movement, the Ford Mustang. It would take years for that to occur, but the Camaro had a great showing at nearly 221,000 units sold in its first year. This ’67 Camaro is a rather basic model that has only been owned by one other family. While the paint has deteriorated over the years, it’s a solid running car according to the seller. Located in Pollock Pines, California, this original Camaro is available here on eBay where the reserve is unmet at bids of $16,500.
This Camaro has a 327 cubic inch V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. With an output of 210 hp, Chevy sold more than 100,000 copies of the new Camaro with the Turbo-Fire engine in the car’s first year. It’s paired with the venerable 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Whether the indicated mileage is a real 46,000 isn’t known, but the car was garage-kept until the last 10 years. The seller bought it from the daughter of the original owner, so it hasn’t changed hands over and over as some do. The automobile wouldn’t be for sale now if it weren’t for some changes in family circumstances.
There are no reports that the blue paint hasn’t been redone. But since the seller says the black stripes were added by the dealer, we assume most of it is. The car wore a cover over it for the past decade and that led to the decline in the roof paint, we’re told. The same contributed to a deterioration of the seat covers that the seller has replaced, though they don’t look like OEM. Still, we’re told they are reproductions.
If you’re looking for an original first-gen Camaro, this could be one of the nicer ones not to have been restored. Unfortunately, the seller includes only four photos (rare for an eBay ad) so it’s hard to gauge condition at the finite level. Besides tires, the only other things the seller says were replaced are the weatherstripping around the doors and the trunk runner which had some holes.
2nd owner obviously kept the car outdoors for 10 years. I can’t understand why anyone would buy a car like this and keep it outside. I would never buy an old car if I didn’t have a garage…….
Often, upon an owner’s death, cool cars get passed down to family members who don’t appreciate them or care to go out of their way to take care of them. Even a nicely restored old car is apt to deteriorate rapidly if left to the elements.
Agreed what are you thinking? Sun moisture etc will take the car down in a few years
what a crappy description and photos , e bay ones are worse. gosh wonder what it looks like under the hood ? ac , pwr steering ??? brakes ?
Crappy like your grammar and English?
He made his point. What are you, a cop?
Thanks grammar Nazi. Go back to NPR.
He knows how to take good pictures, the other car he currently has listed has 20 pictures showing areas mist buyers expect to see.

Looks to have the rare bench seat with an armrest! Cool!!
Are those thin black accent stripes factory?
Many times you can tell recovered seats due to the WRINKLES. It this due to the inexperience of the installer or overseas repro materal not being quite the correct dimensions? Were seats back in the day covered on the assembly line by men or machines?
I’ve seen similar aftermarket Javelin stripes on newer Camaros, but they do not go down the front of the fender and wrap around the nose. Not a Camaro expert by any means, but I’ve never seen a first gen Camaro come from the factory with this style stripe.
No dealer installed according to eBay description.
Ad says Dealer installed black stripes. Not Factory, somewhere along the lines of a Hockey Stripe but Way Skinny. Wish I hung on to more 1st Gens & not sold them cheap, oops. Ad says more Pics later?
😂😂
Nothing to write home about here!
No pics of her belly, I’d never buy a car without seeing belly of the beast makes it look like it’s being hidden from a sale! NOPE and not travelling to waste my time.
Yep…funny he has only 2 Ebay sales which might not mean anything but like Steve said – his other listing has a bunch of pictures.
