1967 Chevrolet Camaro V8 coupe with 350/TH400, 12-bolt and front discs, early bidding

Why we picked it

A Van Nuys-built 1967 Camaro coupe the seller describes as a factory RS/SS, refinished in red with black stripes and a black vinyl top in the 1990s. It now runs a 0.030-over 350 built by Phoenix Engine in 2018 (about 800 miles since), a shift-kitted TH400 in place of the original 4-speed, a 12-bolt Posi with 4.11 gears, Caltracs, and Wilwood front discs.

The seller says it runs, drives, shifts and stops properly, and lists a quarter-panel ding, a chip by the mirror and faded paint on the driver fender. Clean California title. Bidding sits at $1,500 with 12 days to go, so treat the current figure as a placeholder, not a price.

The value check

When we found it, the bid was $24,750. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $29,000–$50,500, so the middle of the market is about $39,750. That put this car 38% under.

Driver-grade and modified 1967-68 Camaro coupes (RS, SS, plain V8) sold between $23,000 and $50,500 from July to August 2026; the realistic middle of that band is about $40,000. The current $1,500 bid is an opening bid with 12 days left and will climb.

Where the numbers come from:

• 1967 Camaro RS, Hagerty, $30,500
• 1967 Camaro, Hemmings, $29,000
• 1967 Camaro RS/SS 396, BaT, $50,500
• 1968 Camaro SS, BaT, $46,500

What to check

• The VIN (124377...) only confirms a V8 coupe; ask for the cowl tag and any documentation backing the RS/SS claim.
• Rust is not mentioned: check lower quarters, trunk floor and drop-offs, rear window channel, and cowl under the vinyl top.
• Inspect the subframe mounts and front frame rails, which crack and rot on first-gens.
• Caltracs, airbags and 4.11 gears suit the strip more than the street; budget for gearing changes.
• Original 4-speed has been removed; confirm what parts come with it.

Making it drive like new

A good base for a pro-touring build: the engine, 12-bolt and front discs are already done, so money can go to a bolt-in subframe or tubular arms, rack-and-pinion steering, a multi-link or 4-link rear to replace the leaf springs and Caltracs, a 4L60E or overdrive manual for highway gearing, and four-wheel discs with a proper dual master cylinder.

9 builders make a complete chassis for the 1967–69 First-gen Camaro & Firebird. Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.

How it ended

It sold for $36,032 on Oct 21, 2026, against a market value of about $39,750 when we found it.
