1967 Camaro for Sale: How to Read a First-Year VIN

Search for a 1967 Camaro for sale and you're looking at the first model year of Chevrolet's pony car. Chevrolet built 220,906 Camaros for 1967 (source 1). Buyers chase SS and RS cars, convertibles and the rare Z/28, but the VIN still tells you the important factory story: coupe or convertible, six or V8, and which plant built it. Options like RS and SS are not spelled out in the 1967 VIN (source 2), so paperwork matters when the asking price does.

This guide shows how to decode a 1967 Camaro VIN, what to verify beyond the VIN, and what we found in every 1967 Camaro for sale on RareCars.com today. To browse the cars, start with every Chevrolet Camaro for sale on RareCars.com.

What to check first on any 1967 Camaro for sale

1. Characters 1–5 of the VIN. They encode Camaro, body style and whether the car was born a six or a V8 (source 2).
2. Plant and sequence. Character 6 is the year (7 = 1967); character 7 is the plant; the rest is the sequence (source 2).
3. SS / RS / Z/28 claims. These are option packages. The VIN alone can't prove SS or RS on a 1967; ask for a Protect-O-Plate, build sheet or window sticker (sources 1 and 2).
4. Rust and structure. Check the cowl, floors, trunk and rear quarters; first-gen Camaros hide expensive metal work (source 3).

How to read a 1967 Camaro VIN

Take a VIN like 124377L124858. Read it left to right (source 2):

1. 12: Chevrolet Camaro.
2. 437: body and engine family. Common 1967 prefixes: - 12337 = Sport Coupe, inline-six - 12367 = Convertible, inline-six - 12437 = Sport Coupe, V8 - 12467 = Convertible, V8
3. 7: model year 1967.
4. L: assembly plant (L = Van Nuys; N = Norwood).
5. 124858: unit sequence.

What the VIN can't tell you

It won't confirm an SS, RS, Z/28, Muncie four-speed or disc brakes. Those lived on the option sheet. It also won't tell you what engine is in the car now — only what it was born with.

SS, RS and Z/28: don't trust the badges alone

For 1967, SS and RS were option packages, and the Z/28 was a low-volume road-race package with only 602 built (source 1). Badges and stripes can be added. If the premium depends on SS, RS or Z/28, ask for period paperwork before you pay it (source 2).

A pre-purchase checklist for a 1967 Camaro for sale

1. Decode characters 1–5 for body and six-vs-V8 as built (source 2).
2. Confirm the plant letter (N or L) and year digit (7).
3. Compare the VIN engine family with the engine in the car today.
4. For SS / RS / Z/28 claims, ask for a build sheet, Protect-O-Plate or window sticker (sources 1 and 2).
5. Inspect the cowl, floors, trunk and quarters for rust (source 3).
6. Check the rear window channels and convertible top well for water damage on drop-tops.
7. Verify title, mileage story and any numbers-matching claims with a specialist inspection.
8. Price in wear items: bushings, brakes, fuel system and tires on a nearly 60-year-old car.
