The year in brief

The Camaro was General Motors' answer to the Ford Mustang. Chevrolet built 220,906 of them for 1967: 195,765 coupes and 25,141 convertibles.23

Most were built in Norwood, Ohio, and the rest of the US cars at Van Nuys near Los Angeles; a smaller number were assembled abroad from kits. Production of the 1967 model ran from August 1966 to July 1967.34

Buyers built their own car from the options: the RS appearance package, the SS, and from December 1966 the Z/28, a racing package with a 302 V8 that only 602 cars received.25

The story of the year

Pace car at Indianapolis

A Camaro RS/SS convertible with a 396 V8 paced the 1967 Indianapolis 500.36

Chevrolet built on it with a Pacesetter sales campaign at its dealers. It was a sales promotion, not a performance package, and was aimed mostly at six-cylinder cars.3one source

About 100 replicas of the pace car were built.26
