1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe (LHD)

Description

Chevrolet's entry into the pony car market created by the Mustang arrived as a 1967 model, the new Camaro proving a more than worthy rival for the more established Ford and rapidly captured a sizeable portion of the youth market. The Camaro was marketed with a wide variety of engine options, from the mild - the base engine was a six-cylinder developing a scant 140bhp - to the wild, with the 420bhp SS 396 and race-bred Z-28 models capturing most of the limelight. The Camaro looked fantastic, with clean styling under the direction of Bill Mitchell, who envisioned a four-seater Corvette, and the coke-bottle lines foreshadowed the Stingray of 1968. Offered in both coupe and convertible form, the first-generation Camaro came with a huge options list allowing the customer to create anything from a luxury cruiser to a drag strip bruiser. Mark Donohue and Roger Penske teamed up to run the Camaro Z-28s in Trans-Am during 1967 with great success and the new model was also honoured as the Indianapolis 500 pace car that year.
