The Story

Designed from the outset as a more conventional front engine, rear drive replacement for the rear-engine Corvair, Chevrolet’s sporty Camaro debuted in late 1966. Contrary to widespread belief, the Camaro was not a belated General Motors response to Ford’s wildly successful Mustang. A strong value with highly affordable base pricing, the Camaro was offered with virtually every factory-available option and several 6-cylinder and small- and big-block powertrain combinations. On the showroom floor, the Camaro was a successful gamble for Chevrolet, with production for the introductory 1967-model year totalling nearly 221,000 vehicles.

Powered by a small-block V-8 engine in concert with a console-mounted automatic transmission, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is highly attractive with its Emerald Turquoise paint finish complemented by a white convertible top and Turquoise interior. Desirable features include power brakes and the slim chrome bumpers and restrained bright trim emblematic of the first-generation Camaro. Rally wheels mounting radial tires provide road contact. Documents include owner's and service manuals. Refreshingly presented in small-block form and without the usual high-performance modifications so commonly seen on other first-generation Camaro models, this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will provide a wonderful cruising and ownership experience, especially with the soft top down.
