If you own #1 if any car, you're a custodian, and it's great to see these guys appreciate that. Nice work fellas.
Wow the very first camaro still lives!! Amazing
Justin Ray Styles fuck you racist piece of fucking shit ford is better
This Camaro should be in a very special place, like the first mustang at the Henry Ford Mus.
It is in a special place
You mean with someone who enjoys it and takes great care of it....? It is. Not everything has to be in a museum
my first car was a 68 camaro rs, i was 16 years old and spotted it in the lot of an auto repair shop while riding the elevated f train home from Lincoln HS in Brooklyn. I got off the train at the next stop and walked back to the shop to see if it was for sale. it was 12 years old, running but in kinda rough shape, I paid $250 for it and had for 5 years when it was stolen from in front of my house. i loved that car and wish I still had it, i currently drive a 2002 z28 convertible that is in "like new" condition but I would trade it in a second to have my old 68 back....even in the shape it was in when I first found it. I think it may be time for me to get another 68
God bless you two........ Thanks for rebuilding this awesome camaro
I restored the exact same car from the original owner except it was a 250 with a power glide.
Owned my 1967 Camaro in 1970. Loved that vehicle.

I had a 67 camaro just like that only blue when I was 18 had it for a year and a half traded it for a new 70 rally sport camaro
I own a 67! Not the first one built, but I own one. I love my car!
Awesome story. My dad had a 67 SS he got brand new. It was the first one in the city of St Louis. It was blue with white stripes. White inside. He always told me it was early production.
Wow the very first... Beautiful
That is really cool man. Love it! These old muscle cars and old smith & Wesson and Colt guns, especially their revolvers are both a huge part of American heritage. I have started collecting S&W revolvers and gonna buy some Colts soon. One day I'm going to start collecting old muscle cars too. It seems to me that roungly 1950-1975 where just an amazing time for America. So much amazing stuff was coming out, all so different than anything else at the time. The music blew up with jazz and blues and rock & roll and after 1968/69 James Brown drops funk on the world. The muscle cars coming out were unparalleled. The guns that S&W and Colt were producing where as much a work of art as the cars were. You had amazing movies and television shows coming out all the time too! Still a lot of black & white programs and movies, the film noir era blew up, shows like 77 Sunset Strip, Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, Naked City, Route 66, Peter Gunn all setting the style of the day. Actors like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, maroon Brando and so many others were turning out hit after hit. That had to be a great time to be alive and be old enough to appreciate it. Everything was hip. I wasn't born until 1981 and even as a kid I hated the 80's. I hated the style, the cars and just about everything. That was a major turning point in our history and most people never think anything of it. I love the old school over anything new period. Even have an old 60's console record player and a couple hundred vinyl records to jam on it.
I had a 67 Camaro with a 250 six banger 3 on the tree.
Thank you for saving her ❤
Best American Muscle 💪😍😍
one of
I have the same car gold but A 327 v8. I will check the vin. It is now blue with a 502 in it, have had it for 38 years. Cool story.
GREAT WORK FELLAS!....great work.
Great car and video.I own a 68,and this N0000001 Camaro is the rarest.Because I never seen a 0000001 mustang.
Rodney Stapler Mustang is fucking better
The reason you don’t see a shitang with 000001 because it’s in a junkyard!!! LOL!!!!
In 1967,a friend of mine of mine in high school had the 1st camaro l and most every body had ever seen. Black, 3 speed in the floor, 6 cylinder! Looked really good and ran good too. In 1968, another friend bought a 68, Z28, and it was also black and very fast.
It has the same exact steering wheel heater control and radio as my 67 impala. So cool!
67's & 69's get ALL the press, It's like my 68 doesn't even exist!
I think the 68 is the best of the three
I also had a 68. Fun car.
@@rodneyhietikko8814 the 1969 is the most sot after camaro. The 1967, 1968 look a lot a like.thats why the 1968 don't get the same attention as the 1967 ,1969. I still have my 1969 Camaro that my brother gave me 33 years ago.
@@norristammislideshowmulgre877 This is funny, my son now has the 69 I bought in the summer of 81. My brother gave it to him for his 30th birthday.
Great story Thanks for sharing.
First Gen Camaro's have ben the Love of my Life !!! very cool video .
Gorgeous car!
great story, i had a 67 RS . I bought from Luby Chevrolet in Boston. still had the 50,000 mi warranty! SOMEONE STOLE IT IN 1980. broke my heart,.... I miss it still. :-(
I may go see it at a car show next Saturday
AWESOME VIDEO.
Loved them since the first sight. Someday, someday
I grew up in a ‘67 RS. It was awesome.
That is just awesome
6:01 lol
Million dollar car, sure glad it's in good hands now. Cheers 🇨🇦
Love my RS convert
VERY COOL GUYS!
They built the car first before they even had a name for it! I remember reading an article back in the later 70's in a hot rod magazine about the first 52' the owners and technical team only wanted these cars as basic transportation 230 & 3 spd it was the design team that wanted the big v8s and 4spd, Muncie rock crusher, rs, z28, SS, I remember the era of the 60'S and 70's! Had my first car at 16 back in 77' 1967 Chevy camaro 230 6cyl 2spd automatic, power nothing! Am radio and hub caps, not wheel covers was gold on black low back bench vinyl, I loved the car, paid $750 dollars for it, looked brand new with 62,400 miles on it, insurance back in that era cost me $550 dollars or probably about what it costs today, how ever if you added in inflation it would be like $2300 dollars... I had the car 2 months before someone stole it! 5 people piled in it and beat the crap out of it, was reported they were seen laughing as they ran into things with it and than a 5 mile chase with police until they flipped it over at about 80 mph and killing 4 out of the 5... everyone kept saying what a tragic accident those poor innocent kids!!! For real? I was the victim' I never got a dine for my woes, took me 2 hard years busting my little ass saving money for that car... I hope you enjoy yours more than I did!
Great story.
Wow! The first Mercury Cougar still exists. Now the first Camaro has been found also!
Awesome!
Have a 67 Camaro 76085 off the line in norwood all origional
My friends dad has a 1977 Pontiac trans am firebird that's brown and it's all ORIGINAL. Garage kept dude and it has something like 80k miles cause he doesn't drive it anymore
I hear ya man. Norwood & Van Nuys were the great assembly plants that built them👍
I got a 67 rs camaro 327
Saw this car go to auction a few years back. Apparently the car matters $$$ to these (former) owners.
Sweet looking car! I've always liked the 1967 Camaro. IMHO, this is the best looking of the first generation Camaro. While I appreciate the six cylinder engine and 3 on the tree, I would've preferred proper gauges, disc brakes, and all the options one could get for the car. :)
Then it wouldn`t be ORIGINAL
I had one when I was 16. I didn’t like it because it had a 6 cylinder. I sold it and bought a comet with a v8.
Had a Chevette
Well that's almost a corvette.
my dad had it in southern California for few years back in the 80s a red double s he has tens of pictures of it every angle I always tell him if he kept until now it would have been tens of thousands of dollars now instead
My uncle is the original owner
Uma jóia, sensacional ❤️
And it had vent windows. Something that should have been left in a lot of automobiles.
I may know of another one
Rich guys that bought the car as investment, nothing more. That car never gets driven.
gold camaros MATTER
I have the very first Chevette!
Why?
I wish people would stop saying "VIN Number." It's a redundancy.
Wish in one hand...
Shit in the other.
Was it called a "Mustang"?... I always thought it was called a "Muskrat!"
you should put tinted windows in the back
suckme orpayme why the fuck would anybody ruin an original piece of fucking shit?
Better looking than a Mustang .... hands down
Depends on the model to me. The 67 Fastback was a good looking car as was the 69 Mach 1 and Boss 302 my favorite Mustangs.
2 much on the owners and so many golen opportunities missed,besutiful resto if its not all bondo?
I'm not hating on the car or anything like that but I'm just wondering, why the Camaro? Why is this car on the National Historic Vehicle Registry. This is a wonderful car with a great story, but what about cars like the 1964 Pontiac GTO, 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang, Oldsmobile Rocket-88, and Chrysler C-300. Don't these cars deserve some recognition too?
SeanTronic ESPECIALLY the Mustang
SeanTronic : This car is camaro #1!
Those cars you mentioned perhaps don't have a verified serial #1 still kicking. ..
They’re all in the historic collection bro...
It was the best out of all the cars on your list
Why are they doing the stupid engine noises?
They made so many of these and the quality was so low that by 1970 you couldn't give one away. You could buy an original low miles, complete with GM valve guide smoke for a few hundred dollars....yikes...I've lived too long!
Hmm. My first car in the early '70s was a beautiful, all original, low miles, LeMans blue '69 L78 SS Camaro with an M22 four speed. I shopped for a long time and looked at a lot of first gen Camaros before I located mine and I never found anyone giving them away.
True...I remember that. My friend bought a used 68 Camaro in high school in excellent condition with a 350 for $1500. I bought my Cuda in 1977 because it was cheaper than a Camaro or Mustang because nobody wanted it LOL.
Snagglepuss LOL funny I was just thinking of him last week.
Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Never buy the first year of a new model.
Unless it's a Camaro
more old salvageable junk
it's a fake
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 it’s a gm
