Unfortunately, the S650 seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang is currently left alone on the pony and muscle car market to rule undefeated. All the while, the Dodge Charger is reinventing itself, and the Chevy Camaro is dwelling around the retirement offices.
The 2024 Mustang rocks a classic setup – a two-door coupe and convertible with RWD and EcoBoost plus Coyote V8 options. The only other variant is the ultra-expensive $325k Ford Mustang GTD, which has the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 and massive race car tricks plus over 800 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Dodge Charger is replacing both L-bodied generations because it will arrive on the market as the Charger Daytona (all-electric) and Sixpack (3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six twin-turbo), both with a traditional two-door fastback coupe body style as well as in the modern four-door sedan format.

Sadly, Chevrolet has retired from production of the sixth generation Camaro due to very slow sales and hasn't announced something new in its place. Sure, there are some hints that the nameplate will return to its affordable pony car roots in the near future with a low-cost EV powertrain, but we have to take these rumors with a healthy dose of salt until General Motors reveals its plans for the iconic model.

As such, Chevy Camaro fans are left out in the open to choose either the not-so-beloved current generation because dealers still have inventory left in stock – or go back in time with something classic. Well, PC Classic Cars, a Sherman, Texas-based old-school dealership, has an interesting proposal for enthusiasts of the original Chevrolet Camaro. This is a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 – the first generation had numerous engine options, starting with the 230 ci inline-six, and the V8s dominated the picture with 283, 302, 307, 327, 350, 396, and 427 options.

Naturally, the high-power SS and COPO models got access to the flagship items – the SS was offered both with the 350 and 396 ci V8s, while the COPO got treated to the mighty 427. Well, this example seen here in black over black has a "great running" 350 V8. This is where the caveats start piling up. First, the engine hooked to a 700R4 four-speed overdrive automatic transmission is not the original one.

Secondly, the black-over-black exterior and interior treatment is a late addition because this unit was originally dressed in code 'F' Marina Blue on the outside and code '717' blue on the inside. Thirdly, the odometer has a great reading – just 11,409 miles, but the "actual mileage cannot be verified." Now, let us get on with the good news.

Those start with the pristine exterior looks (the interior is a bit dated, though) and continue with the 15-inch Holley REV Wheels shod in 215/65 (front) and 245/60 (rear) tires, powered steering and front disc brakes, aftermarket air conditioning, aluminum radiator, electric fan, serpentine pulleys, and more. The latter part is all about the exhaust, which has Headman headers, an x-pipe, Borla mufflers, and full-length tailpipes – meaning it should sound absolutely great when at full throttle.

However, there is one last caveat – the classic car specialist wants no less than $45,500 to part ways with this not-so-original but "running and driving great" 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS 350 that is also "very solid underneath." Is it worth it? Well, that's for you to decide, but know that for that cash, you could always get a 2024 Ford Mustang GT Fastback complete with the 10-speed SelectShift automatic and the Active Valve Performance Exhaust and gain access to no less than 486 ponies.
