Chevrolet introduced the Camaro for the 1967 model year as a direct competitor to the Ford Mustang. Built on the new F-body platform, which it shared with the Pontiac Firebird, the Camaro was an instant hit. Buyers could choose between a coupe or convertible and specify everything from an economical inline-6 to a powerful 396-cubic-inch big-block V8.
The first-gen Camaro is a pillar of the collector car world. Its iconic styling, vast aftermarket support, and wide range of factory performance options make it universally appealing. High-performance variants like the Z/28, Super Sport (SS), and ultra-rare COPO cars with 427 engines are the most sought-after by collectors. The 1969 model, with its unique single-year styling, is particularly popular.
The market is one of the broadest for any classic car, with an average sale price over $63,000. Entry-level 6-cylinder and small-block V8 cars remain relatively affordable, while documented, numbers-matching big-block and Z/28 models command top dollar. Rare COPO and ZL1 cars can easily reach seven figures, representing the peak of the market.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest enemy; check floor pans, the trunk floor, lower fenders, quarter panels, and the areas around the front and rear glass.
- For investment-grade cars, verify the authenticity of performance packages like the Z/28 or SS using the trim tag and checking for a numbers-matching drivetrain.
- Be aware that 1969 models have many one-year-only body panels that can be more difficult to find than 1967-1968 parts.
- Inspect the front subframe and its mounting points for cracks or rust, a common issue, especially on cars with high-torque engines.
- Differentiate between original cars and restomods; a well-built restomod has value, but it's judged on the quality of its components and build, not originality.
Prices range from under $30,000 for project cars to over $1,815,000 for the rarest, concours-quality examples.
