I think that the 1967 Camaro is one of the greatest muscle cars ever constructed. It is almost a work of art, an outstanding piece of machinery, and a huge slice of teenage Americana.

The Camaro is like a woman, it is shaped just right. The long hood and short deck styling gives the car a sense of movement even when the car is sitting still. You can almost imagine it burning out even when at rest. The car exudes muscle car to the max.

In 1966, Chevrolet countered the Ford Mustang with its version of its own muscle car. In the month of September 1966, the 67 Camaro was released to the world. The new “pony car” was a phenomenal hit. Even now, Camaros are still in production.

When it was introduced, the 67 was the only first generation Camaro to not have the RPO-Z28 Special Performance Package and the 396-cid displacement engine for SS models. Other distinquishing features include: lack of side marker lights, no front quarter windows, VIN tag mounted in door hinge pillar, center console, and had side-vent windows.

Classic car collectors are wild about the 67 Camaro. It is almost like getting the rookie car for Joe DiMaggio. It has real sentimental value. Even in poor condition, it is not uncommon to see these cars priced around $8K. The car holds its value.

The 1967 Camaro was built on brand new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform. The body was available as a 2-door, coupe, 2 2 seating, or a convertible.

The 67 Camaros came factory in a choice of the inline-6 and the 302, 350, 396 engines or the powerful 396 V8. Let me tell you, the 396 motor can burn tires like nobody’s business. It is a big boy’s toy, thats for sure. In the hands of teenage boy, it will peel off 15 foot black rubber marks regularly from sitting still. It is a hoss.

The 67 Camaro is a treat to drive. It not only looks like a real man’s car, but it is also a great ride. With great handling and performance, this classic muscle car is a thrill to own. If you decide to buy one, you will be glad you did.
