A good friend of mine that collects Camaros was able to purchase a plain jane 67 with a 327/210 and manual trans. White with a red interior. The car was gorgeous with a complete nut and bolt restoration that was 3 years old. It was even an AACA Senior Award winner. He sold it but it took 12 months and he barley broke even. Got somewhere around 18-19K on it. Hard to beleive you could pick up an AACA Senior Award winner for that price. Believe it went to a dealer in Ohio where he purchased an original unrestored survivor 66 Vette. Don't know what has become of that 67 since.

I remember that car. Although it was an AACA award winner I looked at the car and there were quite a fews things that were wrong and/or incorrect for the year and car. All fixable and a rear nice car.

As I recall Rick there was some issues with the glass on the roll up windows in the rear and some other minor issues that were all easy to fix. I believe he bought it in late '03 maybe early '04. He sold it early Spring of '05. He was asking upper 20's or low 30's when it first put it out there but after that time took well below that. Sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield....

Do you remember when and where you saw it?

It first came up on eBay a few years ago and I was very interested in the car. I remember that the deck lid was wrong and a few other items as well. The deck lid was a 1969. The other big items escape me. Sometimes I can't remember what I had for lunch and I'm trying to remember 2-3 years?? ugh!

The car was real nice but really needed to be corrected.

Guys !

I have an associated question for this topic. When I was
younger ( much ), I helped my brother re-do a 67
convertible Camaro that had a 283 in it and a Saginaw
4-speed. I remember the car well. It was red with a black
top. We did the body work, painted it Hugger orange and
later sold it in the southeastern PA area. If memory serves
me correctly ( always an issue these days ), I
believe it had 283 emblems on the fenders.

Am I to assume that this was a rare car?

Not really sure how rare they are but from what I have learned and talking with others, the 283 was not available for any 1967 Camaro built for the U.S. and I believe Canada.

It would be cool to own one of these cars just for the conversation value.

What what the shipping would be to get it here? Not cheap.

I'd rather have the rare SS327 Camaro
