1967 Camaro - Legendary Classic Car
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 good looking woman, it is shaped just right. The long hood and short deck styling makes the car seem like it is moving fast even when the car is sitting still. You can almost imagine it tearing down the road even when at rest. Muscle car power is at its maximum.
In 1965, Chevrolet was watching the Mustang phenomenom take off and the Corvair begin to dwindle in interest. The stakes were high when they went to the drawing board and developed the Camro, which was interestingly first called the "Panther." The new "pony car" was an blockbuster hit. As a testement to its huge popularity, even to this day the Camaro is still in production.
The 67 Camaro 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: no front quarter windows, absence of side marker lights, acenter console, VIN tag mounted in door hinge pillar, and came with side-vent windows.
The 67 Camaros have held their own in value over the years, and are very popular with classic car collectors. If you are looking for a 1967 Camaro for sale... even in poor condition, they are often priced at least about $8,000. It is a classic car that really 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-built with 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. Man...is it a hoss of a car.
If you haven't ever drove a 67 Camaro, let me tell you, you are in for a treat. The car not only looks great but it is definitely a drivers car. It rides great with great handling and performance for this era of muscle car dominance. If you decide to buy one, you won't regret it.
