This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe Is a Great Convertible, And This Isn't a Typo
The Camaro was born for the 1967 model year with an ambitious goal: make the Mustang redundant, providing customers with all the options and engines they'd want to avoid switching from Chevrolet to Ford to get a pony.
The Z/28 was the icing on the Camaro cake in the first year on the market, being fitted with a 302ci V8 engine rated at 290 horsepower. It also sported upgrades tuned for higher performance, including front disc brakes, F41 suspension, a functional hood air intake, and a close-ratio four-speed transmission.
The Camaro in these photos is an example of the first-ever model year for this nameplate, but contrary to what you see when you look at the car, it wasn't born as a convertible.
This Chevrolet Camaro rolled off the assembly lines as a coupe, but a previous owner decided to remove the roof and turn it into a convertible. It has a convertible window frame and sells with a new top frame that the next owner must install. If you don't like this idea but still want the car, eBay seller vmr77 says they also have a new hardtop frame.
Otherwise, it's very clear this is a good car, though it's hard to tell how much is still original. Considering the roof changes, it's safe to assume that nobody planning to buy this Camaro is interested in an all-original model, so the other changes you might discover shouldn't make a huge difference in a purchase decision.
The car still has a working engine under the hood, but the seller claims the "actual model is unknown." The VIN indicates that this Camaro was born with a V8 unit under the hood, but the current situation is unclear, so make sure you check the engine bay before making an offer. However, the owner promises that the engine is in "excellent working condition."
The Camaro sells with several extras, including front and rear bumpers, a rear seat frame, and other goodies that could help with a restoration. The transmission has already been rebuilt and is now working as smoothly as possible. You also get new floors to replace the rusty ones.
The Camaro has already caught the attention of many buyers, with 11 bids currently trying to secure the car and win the auction. However, it looks like the Camaro will fail to sell this time, as the top $4,580 offer can't unlock the reserve. The digital fight will end in less than a day, so the Camaro will likely be relisted in the coming days if it fails to find a new home on this occasion. The car is parked in Santa Barbara, California, if you want to arrange an in-person inspection.
