    In reply to 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible

    Ref QOTD thread. The only car of my birth year I want is my mom's '68 Camaro Convertible. When anyone says the word 'car' the image of that car, red, ragtop, slushbox, replaced 327, cartoon drawing of Broom Hilda on the hood, and rear windows that won't go down (went down the road like a couple of shark fins), is what pops into my head. I'm sure psychologists have a term for that association, other than Oedipus-complex-for-a-car. #1967

    That's so nice. Unlike other people here who apparently see several of these a day, I can't remember when I saw a snow white drop-top. White really sets off the contours/lines. Understated beauty. #1967

    I know I am completely alone here, but I'm tired of Camaros. They as boring as the Mustang, or Camry, or Corolla. Probably because they're as common as the two latter.

    Give me something I don't see every damn day. #1967

    @Novaload: I can count on it. Not just '67 Camaros. Any year, any trim. Corvettes and Mustangs are just as common.

    Actually, no joke, in my town, the ratio of classic Camaro to Camry is 10:1. Seeing a current model Camry is more out of the ordinary then a first generation Camaro.

    Its not just the fact they're as common as Moose, but everybody wants one. Everyone. Come on people, stop following the crowd. I'd rather have seen a DOTS page on that shit brown Crown Victoria in the background. #1967

    @Ford Tempo Fanatic: Spoken like a true Tempo fan. I wish my town was like that. The ratio of Camrys to first gen Camaros on the road here is at least 1000 to 1. I see less first gen Camaros than Lambos or Ferraris. #1967

    @Novaload: Nikiski, AK. On the Kenai Peninsula. There are three kinds of people who inhabit these regions; Angry Natives, Rednecks, and Rich Ass Lower 49ers who have the money to have '67 Camaros in their AK summer homes. Alternatively, there is the lower class of the Rich Ass Lower 49ers who live year round in AK, but use HUMMERs in the winter and '67 Camaros in the summer.

    Either way, Camaros are boring. #1967

    @Ford Tempo Fanatic: Dude, I live in SoCal less than a mile away from the beach, and even I don't see too many of these around, even on a warm, breezy saturday afternoon.

    And yet, in bumf*ck frigid Alaska, there are more Camaros than Camrys?

    The universe amazes me. #1967

    Awesome. My old man has a restored '67 with the original manual gearbox...I hate the gear pattern on that thing, it's real awkward.

    That and the power steering.

    Did all Camaros have PS? #1967

    @paulmer hates electric cars: Very, very few car lines from the cheap brands (Chevy, Ford, Plymouth and AMC) came with standard power steering (or power brakes, for that matter) back then. #1967

    tired of looking at it already.

    Only because I've seen Camaros just like it day in and day out-- it's quite a nice example though

    i probably sold that guy his parts #1967

    Hidden headlights, gauge package, 327, five speed, nice wheels, gorgeous white, and a convertible. Just about perfect. I don't normally go for stripe packages, but I'd even leave on the nose stripes. Even the lip spoiler can stay. #1967

    Interesting how there are more first generation Mustangs in Alameda. Very nice car indeed and great to see it being driven around. What are those strange looking licenese plates? #1967

    @87CapriceEstate: If my source is correct, they are specialized plates which fund the California Art Council. Sales and renewals of the plate enable the development of arts' education and local arts' programs throughout the state.

    BTW, super sweet Camaro!! #1967

    I saw one, not quite this nice, but all original, hammering along at 75 mph on the interstate. It looked really, REALLY good in person. So I vote NICE PRICE!

    The non-stock mods don't work very well on this car and the post '68 K-Gs are less desirable. If this was nice, correct '67 convertible, I'd say Nice Price. Otherwise, it's marginal crack pipe.

    Nice price. Just make sure to adjust the valves regularly, lest you air-cooled VW go chica-chica-boom.

    Doesn't matter what you pay, since in the end you'll own a slow, noisy, ill-handling and hot-in-summer, cold-in-winter car. If you're okay with all that, bob's your uncle.

    And you're right about those seats. Yikes.

    @Tanshanomi: Not grumpy-truthy. Which of the salient points above can you refute? And as I said, if you're happy with the whole Type-1 gestalt, I'm-well, not happy for you, but it's just another sign that there's something out there for everyone. And who amongst us can argue with that.
