Hello everybody, my name is Sonny Miller from goCarBuyer.com, the helpful car place. If you have a classic Chevy Camaro you’re thinking about selling, I want to talk to you before you list it online and let random people come over.
Maybe it’s a 1967 Camaro in the garage. It might be a 1968 that has been parked for years, a 1969 project car, a second-generation Z28, or an old IROC-Z you don’t want to deal with anymore. Either way, give me a call at (714) 900-3723. I’ll ask a few questions, look at what you have, and tell you what we can do.
I buy classic Camaros in all kinds of condition. Running, not running, missing title, missing keys, bad paint, old tires, expired registration, storage cars, and halfway-finished projects. So you don’t have to finish the restoration before calling me.
How Do I Sell My Classic Camaro in California?
To sell a classic Camaro in California, start with the year, trim, title, running condition, body condition, and paperwork. Also, a first-gen Z28, RS, SS, Yenko, COPO, or big-block car is very different from a base project Camaro. If you want a real number, call me and explain what you have.
Why Classic Camaros Still Matter
The Camaro was Chevrolet’s answer to the Mustang. Before Chevrolet chose the Camaro name, the car was known inside Chevrolet as the Panther, and that tells you how serious Chevy was about getting into that pony car fight.
Southern California has always been a strong place for these cars. From Orange County garages to Los Angeles driveways, San Fernando Valley storage units, Riverside shops, and Inland Empire builds, Camaros still show up everywhere out here.
So if you have one today, even if it needs work, you may have something worth looking at properly. A Camaro doesn’t have to be perfect to have value. It just needs the right buyer who understands what it is.
1967 Camaro: The First Year
The 1967 Camaro is where it all started. That first year launched the Camaro name with coupe and convertible body styles, 6-cylinder cars, small-block cars, big-block cars, and a long list of options. Some were plain cars, but others were real performance cars, and a few were ordered in ways that make them very interesting today.
Not every 1967 Camaro is an SS, RS, or Z28, but that doesn’t mean it has no value. A clean base car, 6-cylinder car, or project with good bones can still be worth buying. Condition, originality, paperwork, tags, trim, drivetrain, and extra parts all matter.
If you have a 1967 Camaro, I want to know what it is. Tell me if it is a coupe, convertible, RS, SS, Z28, small block, big block, roller, or project. The more details you have, the better.
RS, SS, Z28, COPO, and Yenko Details Matter
A lot of people hear RS, SS, or Z28 and know those names are important, but they do not always know what they are looking at. Rally Sport, Super Sport, and Z28 equipment can change value in a big way. Hidden headlights, badges, suspension, drivetrain, wheels, interior pieces, and paperwork all help tell the story.
The 1967 Z28 is a serious car. It was built with racing in mind and used the 302 small block. Only 602 were built for 1967, so if you have a real one, that is not just another old Camaro.
Rare cars like Yenko Camaros, COPO 9560 ZL-1 cars, COPO 9561 L72 427 cars, and other special first-gen Camaros can be extremely valuable. If you think you have anything connected to that world, don’t guess. Keep the paperwork, tags, drivetrain parts, badges, and old parts together before you call.
1968 and 1969 Camaros
The 1968 Camaro has its own following. The vent windows were gone, the body still had that first-gen look, and the car kept the old-school dash ignition feel. Also, side marker lights came in for 1968 while the car still kept the rounder first-gen shape.
Then you have the 1969 Camaro, one of the most wanted years. The body is different, the stance is different, and the collector market loves them. If you have a 1969 RS, SS, Z28, big-block, pace car, COPO, or project car, call me before somebody treats it like a regular old car.
Good News: 1975 and Earlier Camaros Are Smog Exempt
Here is something a lot of sellers don’t realize. In California, gasoline-powered vehicles that are model year 1975 or older do not need a smog inspection. That means your 1967, 1968, 1969 Camaro, plus early second-generation Camaros from 1970 through 1975, are smog exempt.
That is a big deal when you are selling a classic Camaro that has been parked for years. No drive cycles, no emissions monitors, and no failed smog test before the sale on those 1975 and older cars. You can read the official California DMV smog page and the California BAR Smog Check page.
For 1976 and later Camaros, smog can be different. Either way, tell me the year, whether it runs, and what paperwork you have. Then I will let you know what we can do.
Second-Generation and IROC-Z Camaros
I also buy second-generation Camaros. These ran from 1970 to 1981, and they have their own following. The early second-gen cars have that fastback look, no convertible option, and a lot of Z28 attitude. Because of that, 1970 and 1971 cars are especially interesting to collectors.
The third-generation Camaro is getting more attention too. These cars came in for 1982 and had that sharp 1980s look. The IROC-Z is the one a lot of people remember first because it had the stance, wheels, decals, and attitude.
If your second-gen or third-gen Camaro has bad paint, old interior, a missing title, rust, expired registration, or a motor that does not run, still call me. Clean ones are getting harder to find, and even cars that need work can still have value.
Classic Camaro Culture in Southern California
Southern California has always been a strong place for classic cars. Camaros show up in garages, body shops, storage units, cruise nights, swap meets, and family driveways from Orange County to Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Van Nuys.
Some are finished cars, while others are rough projects. In many cases, someone bought the Camaro years ago with big plans, and then life got in the way. That is normal. I deal with those situations all the time.
Project Camaro, Missing Title, or Expired Registration?
A lot of classic Camaros I hear about are not in showroom condition. They are in garages, driveways, storage units, backyards, body shops, or under covers. Many have missing titles, expired registration, flat tires, boxes of parts, or engines that have not run in years.
That does not scare me. I deal with these situations all the time. If the title is missing, read how we help people sell a car without a title. Also, if the Camaro has been sitting, I have a page about how to sell a car that has been sitting. If it will not start, read about how we help people sell a vehicle that will not start.
You do not have to fix everything before calling me. Sometimes spending money before selling does not make sense. So let me look at what you have first.
Why Sell Your Classic Camaro to US?
When you want to sell your classic Chevy Camaro, I come to you — your garage, storage unit, driveway, shop, or wherever the Camaro is parked. I serve Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County, and Ventura County.
Instead of dealing with random people coming over, lowballing you, wasting your time, or asking questions and never showing up, call me directly. Tell me what you have, send pictures if needed, and I’ll give you a real idea of what we can do.
If you have another classic parked with the Camaro, let me know when you call. It might be a classic Chevy Caprice, an old Cadillac, a Chevelle, a Corvette, an El Camino, or a C10 truck. You can also read more on my classic car buyer page.
Classic Camaros are not cars I take lightly. Whether it is a first gen, second gen, third gen, Z28, RS, SS, IROC-Z, project car, or rare package car, I want to know about it.
