1967 is the year that brought us the first Camaro, one of the models that certainly have a well-deserved place in automotive history books.
The first-year Camaro showed up in dealerships in September 1966 as a handsome model that people really loved, and this strong consumer appeal translated into high production numbers for 1967. Chevrolet built close to 221,000 Camaros in 1967, out of which over 121,000 units were the base model.

The Z28 was the rarest thing to see in 1967, as only a little over 600 such Camaros left the factory in the first year on the market. The first generation was offered in two body styles, namely hardtop and convertible, and the Camaro that we have here kind of showcases the beautiful design of the latter.

As you can easily tell by simply browsing the photo gallery in the article, this 1967 Camaro has obviously seen better days. It’s very clear the rust has been turned into a first-class citizen all over the body. What’s more, the interior has struggled with awful conditions too, most likely because the car wasn’t necessarily stored in a proper environment.

The owner of this convertible highlights the obvious, explaining the car is very rusty and needs a full restoration. “Frame rails and floors have rust,” reads the listing, but the good news is the Camaro still rolls and can thus be loaded on a trailer if someone wants to take it home.

We’re being told the car has been sitting for many years, and it’s not hard to figure that out given how rusty everything is. The engine was a 6-cylinder unit paired with an automatic transmission, and we’re not being provided with any other specs in this regard.

So how much is a 6-cylinder Camaro in this condition really worth? More than you would expect, actually, as the owner hopes to sell the car for $5,000. The Make Offer button has also been enabled if you’re interested in other deals.
