This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS has 27,802 documented miles and is a factory L35 car powered by its original 396ci V8 and 4-speed manual transmission. Built on April 22, 1967, this example was sold new at Brown Chevrolet in Cohasset, Massachusetts. It was driven locally until 1974 and then garaged for the next 17 years. The original owner transferred the car to its second owner in 1992, who subsequently had a restoration performed which retained correct or matching components throughout the vehicle as detailed below. It has reportedly been driven just 2,800 miles in the last 24 years by four owners. Documentation is extensive as detailed below, and includes a complete history dating back to when the original owner was shopping for comparable vehicles. This Camaro SS396 is now being offered by a friend of the current owner with a transferable New York registration.
The 1992 restoration consisted of disassembly and sanding the body down to bare metal before the base primer and lacquer GM Tahoe Turquoise paint were applied. New GM body mounts and fasteners were installed along with new emblems, trim pieces, and rubber weather stripping on the doors and glass. The chrome taillight housings, interior sill plates, side mirrors, and door handles were cleaned and power polished. Numerous photos reportedly document that all bodywork was completed with genuine GM parts while the body panels themselves are said to be original throughout with factory stampings shown in the photo gallery. The seller reports that it appears no bondo has been used anywhere on the vehicle.
The factory steel rally wheels are wrapped in period-correct Coker red line tires that have approximately 1,500 miles of use but are about eight years old and have become hard over time. This car retains its original front power disc and rear drum brake setup, which is in good working order per the seller. The brake fluid was flushed in Fall 2016.
1967 Camaros featured a double-hump dash design with circular black-faced gauges. The original tilt steering wheel (N33) is noted to be in good condition, and the factory PB-AM/FM radio is reportedly in working condition. The seller notes that all features are functional aside from the clock, which was last seen ticking in the video from 1992.
This example is equipped with the Deluxe Interior (Z87), featuring white vinyl seats and black piping. All of the glass is stated to be original.
A video detailing the interior is shown above while a video including a brief walkaround and showing the engine is shown below.
The cowl tag reportedly shows its original factory GM rosette rivets and factory spray in white as typical for first generation Camaros and was likely replicated during the 1992 restoration. The original L35 396ci V8 made 325 horsepower when new and is said to display factory broach marks, code stampings, and a correct date coded block. Per the seller, meticulous attention has been paid to ensure and independently verify that all mechanical components are either original to the vehicle or correct.
Engine stamping 7N225631 can be seen in the photo above. The seller states that the entire drivetrain is also numbers-matching, including the Muncie M20 close-ratio 4-speed transmission, Heavy Duty suspension, Special Steering (N44), and original 12-bolt differential with a 3.07:1 (G96) ratio.
A video detailing the engine bay is shown above.
Documentation for this Camaro is extensive, consisting of four binders full of records, the original bill of sale, original owner’s manual, Protect-O-Plate, original taxpayer certificate, all factory tags and stickers, hundreds of photos throughout the car’s history, personal letters, letters from GM to the original owner, and the original keys.
A 28-minute video made in March 2004 is displayed above, detailing the condition of this Camaro outside, inside, and underneath.
Included in the history file is a note from the second owner in 1992 which states “To the best of my knowledge the car never has been in any type of accident. All sheet metal appears to be original and in good condition. All safety items including engine and drivetrain were rebuilt. All hoses, bushings, gaskets and basically all rubber items were replaced, 99.9% of all nuts, bolts brackets were all reconditioned and reused. The original factory markings on the undercarriage could be seen and I redid them.” A brief walkaround and additional engine detail video is shown above.
