BUYER INFORMATION SHEET
Understanding the Asking Price
1967 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible – $49,500
This sheet is provided to help serious buyers understand how the asking price was determined and what sets this Camaro apart from typical examples on the market.

1. Frame Off Restoration (Core Value Driver)
Most 1967 Camaros described as “restored” are cosmetic refurbishments. This car underwent a true frame off restoration, including:
• Body removed from the frame
• Underbody media blasted to bare metal
• Sealed with zinc oxide primer
• Finished with Imron epoxy paint for long term corrosion protection
• Structurally sound body, floors, and frame
This level of restoration significantly reduces the buyer’s unknowns and future expense and is a major factor in the car’s valuation.

2. Correct Era V8 / 4 Speed Conversion
• Originally built as a 6 cylinder automatic
• Professionally upgraded using a complete engine, drivetrain, and all associated conversion parts from a 1967 Camaro donor car
• Results in a period correct 327ci V8 paired with a 4 speed manual transmission
This is not a mix and match conversion or modern drivetrain swap. The upgrade retains authentic feel, appearance, and drivability while dramatically improving enjoyment and desirability.

3. Convertible Body Style (Strong Market Premium)
• First generation Camaro convertibles are significantly rarer than coupes
• Convertibles consistently command a higher market value due to:
o Lower production numbers
o Open air driving appeal
o Strong collector demand
This car combines the convertible body with a manual transmission—an especially desirable configuration.

4. Ownership History & Care
• 48 years of continuous ownership
• Garage kept
• Never winter driven during current ownership
• Carefully maintained rather than flipped or neglected
Long term ownership adds confidence for buyers and reduces concerns about hidden issues or rushed work.

5. Condition & Usability
This Camaro is intentionally not a trailer queen:
• Starts easily and runs strong
• Drives well and is mechanically sorted
• Very nice paint, chrome, and interior
• Excellent convertible top
• Ready to be driven, shown, and enjoyed immediately
Buyers looking for a car they can actually use—without fear—place high value on this balance.

6. Market Positioning
Cars that are:
• Convertibles
• Frame off restored
• V8 / 4 speed
• Non SS / non RS
• Honest, well documented drivers
Typically trade in the mid to upper $40,000 range in private transactions. The asking price reflects:
• The quality of the restoration
• The condition today
• The avoidance of dealer markup or auction fees

Summary
The $49,500 asking price reflects:
• Substantial, documented restoration work
• Correct era drivetrain provenance
• Excellent structural condition
• Extremely long term ownership
• Strong desirability as a first year Camaro convertible
This is a premium example intended for a knowledgeable buyer who values quality, authenticity, and drivability.
