Equipment
327/375, PowerGlide automatic, hub caps, BF Goodrich Silvertown tires, bucket seats, console, AM radio.
Condition
Inspected by Jerry MacNeish. Serial number 00016, and body number 1 on the Los Angeles production line. Restored in 2006. Very good body, although the driver's side fender has a couple of scratches. The bumpers and trim show well. Under the hood is excellent and the underbody like new. The interior has been completely redone, but the steering wheel appears original and has some gouges in it. Not over restored and a very good restoration of one of the earliest Camaros ever produced.
Market commentary
When it comes to cars, the "first of" something tends to have cachet among collectors, and therefore be worth more money. "One of the first" of something is less straightforward. It might impress some, but not others, and that is exemplified by this car's auction history. It sold here back in 2007 for for $75,900, then was a $45,000 no-sale at Mecum Indy in 2009, then sold for $110,000 at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas later that year. It was a $35,000 no-sale in one of Barrett-Jackson's mid-COVID online sales in July 2020, and brought $110K in 2025. This is a nice Camaro but its equipment and options are nothing special. Much of this price is down to that early build date, and it's not guaranteed to do so well the next time it crosses the block.
