Vehicle Description
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
In 1966 Chevrolet conceived a totally new platform car for 1967 to
be named Camaro, from a slang French word meaning "friend."
Chevrolet was getting beat out of many sales with the bad publicity
that came from the Corvair, as well as the popularity of the
Mustang. The Camaro "pony" car (meaning long front hood, and short
rear deck, with power) was offered in many platforms for the
largest appeal to a wide audience, from basic to a race car which
definitely escalated Chevrolet sales and created a classic.
This 1967 first generation Camaro base model is mostly an original
example (excepting the paint, and newly installed convertible top).
No body rust, no mechanical problems, and very good, well
maintained, original condition. This project would be a very easy
one to bring this car to its original paint scheme (Granada gold).
A smooth-running driver, that will turn heads along your commute,
as well as in the work parking lot.
Exterior
A fair condition repaint showing cracking, peeling, crazing, and
overspray in red covers the car. No rust, no evident body work for
any accident repairs, and chrome is in good shape. Slight scuffing
of chrome is seen on upper driver's side windshield surround,
mainly from raising and securing the convertible top. Exterior
badging is original, grille in good shape, and lighting in all
working order. A new convertible top has been installed. An
underside view of this car shows it in excellent condition, with no
rust on floor pans and minimal surface rust on frame. Stock Camaro
steel wheel covers are present on all 4 corners.
Interior
Black vinyl bucket seats in front, and a black vinyl bench seat is
in back. Passenger front bucket has a rip in the seam between
ribbing, and side of seat. Black carpet is faded a bit, but in good
condition. Door panels are ribbed vinyl and show original logos,
and window cranks. All crank windows are in good working condition,
as well as glass all around. Dash is original, and instruments are
working condition. An AM radio straddles the center console as well
as temperature controls for heating and venting. An automatic
shifter is mounted to the "tree" and selector is clean and
accurate. Gas and brake pedals are very good and show little signs
of wear.
Drivetrain
A 230CI inline 6-cylinder OHV original engine is mated with a
2-speed automatic transmission. A frame independent front
suspension, and leaf springs in the rear suspension, typical of
1967 pony cars can be seen in good condition. Drum brakes are on
all 4 wheels, and brake lines are solid in good condition.
This 1967 Introductory year basic Camaro presents very nicely in
original well-maintained condition, excepting the aforementioned
paint and convertible top.
According to codes, the original color was Granada Gold. With
little effort this car can be brought back to original color, with
no rust or extra bodywork to deal with. Mechanically sound, clean
engine compartment, a driver for every day, as well as a classic
for a lifetime.
