1967 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe

Description

Designed to compete against the Ford Mustang, the Chevrolet Camaro became a muscle car icon. Needing a name starting with “C,” Chevrolet called it “Camaro,” a name derived from the word “comrade.” The pony car was approved in 1964 and was ready for the 1967 model year, and it was an instant hit.

The new Camaro was available with a variety of engine opinions, from the entry-level inline-six all the way up to the potent 396 cu-in V8. Not just a straight-line performer, the new Camaro was also competitive in the SCCA Trans-Am series, which spawned distinctive models like the Z/28, offering turn-key sports car performance. 

Unlike today, in which buyers are given few pre-determined factory option packages at new car dealers, there was once a time when you could spec out a car a la carte. The Camaro offered 80 different factory options and 40 different dealer accessories, meaning there are many uniquely optioned 1967 Camaros out there. This one has a 327 cu-in V8 that was rebuilt by a previous owner and then upgraded by the consignor with a four-barrel carburetor, aluminum intake and headers, and other mechanical improvements.
