When it comes to the first-year Camaro, most people purchased the base model. In total, Chevrolet produced a little over 121,000 units, and some 64,850 customers picked the version equipped with the RS package.
The 1967 Camaro SS was a lot rarer, as only some 34,400 units got to see the daylight, but the real truly rare version was the Z28, which accounted for just 602 units out of the entire first-year production.

The Camaro you’re looking at right here, however, is the base model, and eBay user amandaschlegel has recently listed it for auction, hoping someone sees it and decides to give the car the restoration it deserves.

At first glance, the Camaro doesn’t look that bad, but on the other hand, it’s pretty clear that whoever buys it would have to put a lot of work into getting everything in tip-top shape. And if you were hoping to at least get a working engine, that’s something you’ll have to discover on your own, as the car has been sitting for five years.

The owner says the engine actually started five years ago before the Camaro was parked, but judging from the photos in the article, it’s all rusty in there, so there’s a good chance some fixes would be required to get it up and running. Also worth knowing is this is a 6-cylinder Camaro with an automatic transmission. It is said to come with a good frame and a clear title.

Its mileage is 79,821 miles (128,459.45 kilometers), and the car can be inspected in person in New Jersey if you’re serious about bidding for it.

At first glance, the auction starting bid might be a little bit ambitious, especially given the car's condition and the fact it’s a 6-cylinder Camaro. The seller expects to get at least $6,900 as part of the no-reserve auction, but it might be quite a challenge to find someone willing to get it home at this price.
