Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe
The first Camaro did not have to be a thundering V8: its starting point was a smooth straight-six.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
Chevrolet launched the Camaro for the 1967 model year as a compact, sporty two-door offered in many personalities. This page follows the base Sport Coupe with its standard six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual, not an SS, RS, Z/28 or big-block car. That distinction matters because first-year Camaro performance varied enormously by option.
Look a little closer.
Camaro paced the Indianapolis 500 in its very first model year, but those special V8 convertibles were far more powerful than this everyday base coupe.
Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.
One body, many personalities
The same basic Camaro could be ordered as a calm six-cylinder commuter, an appearance-focused Rally Sport or a much faster Super Sport. Chevrolet's own information kit lists the engines and options separately, which is why this page names the 230-cubic-inch base version precisely.

The short rear deck, long hood and four-place cabin put Camaro into the new pony-car class. Chevrolet used the 1967 Indianapolis pace-car role to show the newcomer at one of America's biggest races, but the production range remained much broader than the pace car.
