Discussing Camaro's place in the automotive culture is a waste of time, as Chevrolet's new model eventually became an iconic nameplate with powerful engines that challenged the muscle car world.
Launching as a pony with both lazy and more powerful engine options, the Camaro was a hit from its first year on the market. Chevrolet produced nearly 221,000 units in 1967, and the high-performance units were already getting everybody's attention. The RS accounted for nearly 65,000 units of those numbers, while the SS package reached over 34,000 Camaros.
The Z28 was the higher you could go in terms of Camaro performance in 1967. Only 602 units got to see daylight in the first year on the market, but the market's appetite for the new nameplate increased fast, so the numbers jumped to 7,199 a year later.
The 1967 Camaro posted online by North Shore Classics is an exciting discovery for totally different reasons. It has just 36K miles on the clock and is 99 percent original (I may be wrong, but I believe the tires are only part no longer original). The car flexes the factory paint, interior, engine and transmission, wheels, and glass and trim.
The very original Camaro is almost a new car, and its secret is only exposed by the odometer. The low mileage proves this Camaro is a survivor properly cared for, so it's no surprise it runs and drives like a new 1967 car.
Care to find the one shortcoming I was talking about? Look under the hood, and you'll find the one thing that could make some buyers walk away. The Camaro rolled off the assembly lines with a six-cylinder unit, and despite the original engine still in place, most collectors would rather go for a V8 unit.
The 1967 Camaro could be ordered with one of two six-cylinder units. The standard choice was the 230 with 140 horsepower, but this Camaro flexes the optional L22 – a 250ci unit with 155 horsepower. Chevrolet offered several more potent V8 alternatives, including the L78. It was a 396ci unit with a 4-barrel carburetor rated at 375 horsepower.
While a 1967 Camaro with a straight-six unit under the hood isn't everybody's cup of tea, this particular example could still find a new home thanks to the original package and the low mileage. The car is priced accordingly, with the garage in charge of selling the car wanting $50,000 for this Camaro.
The dealer is located in Illinois, and while you should be able to drive this Camaro home on its wheels, you'd better bring a trailer because this is the only way to preserve its low mileage. The garage also offers financing options if you don't want to pay the full price today.
