1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Blue is smack dab in the middle of the muscle car golden age! Its raw power and bold designs were (and have always been) the biggest showstoppers.
Still, while everyone’s got a childhood crush on the black and red variants, my all-time fav is always this sweet baby blue gem.
1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Blue – It’s A Charming Blue Angel
The Marine Blue coat draws me in immediately with its lovely, bright shade, not to mention the glossy layer that only deepens the color!
90s cars were all about the era’s taste for bold yet luxurious hues, and this Chamaro embraces the spirit better than anything else I have seen.
In the sunlight, its wicked gleams easily catch eyes from across the parking lot, and I couldn’t help but grin smugly whenever someone on the street pretends NOT to look at my car.
I used to think the white vinyl stripes were mostly just for show, but it turns out they do much more than they tell.
These stripes actually reduce glare to make the Camaro stand out more during races and easier to identify – not that I’m a racer myself, but you know what I mean.
And on the streets, their sporty touches dab on the Camaro’s already sleek lines, a true definition of a 90s muscle car vibe.
And have I mentioned the chrome accents around the grille (similar appearance compare with 1968 version) and windows? They make the Camaro twice as aggressive and muscular while still looking incredibly elegant.
I never thought muscular and elegant could go in the same sentence, but yep, nothing is impossible with a Camaro.
The glass is perfectly fitted for a distortion-free view, aided by the clear light lenses that will be your best friend whenever night comes.
Their modern touch (for a 90s car, I mean) somehow still blends nicely with the overall vintage charm, and as someone who’s always looking for a mixture of both, I honestly couldn’t ask for anything better.
The Inside Is Basically A Cozy Hub
I dig the color choice for the bucket seats; black not only screams sporty (exactly what Camaro’s going for) but also hides wear and tear far better than any lighter color.
Now you know why it still looks sleek in my garage despite all the crazy driving I have put it through over these years! I also love how they’re comfortably contoured to support my back – just what I need when taking tight corners on a winding road.
And whoever says the Rosewood steering wheel offers nothing other than aesthetics should double-check.
I agree that the smooth grain of the wood looks and feels classy, but that’s not what I care about! What I’m talking about is the natural grip that feels extremely secure in my hands and tightens my connection more strongly to the road.
You might say, “Huh? Nothing a standard wheel couldn’t do.” but believe me, after 10 to 15 minutes, you will change your mind.
The difference seems small at first but becomes more and more apparent the faster you drive!
An Addicting Adventure On Road
Its 396 cubic inches engine is the pinnacle of every classic American muscle! They translate into raw, low-end torque that drives my adrenaline off the roof whenever I get behind the wheel.
Of course, its power is incredible as I accelerate the hell out of a curve, but even when I just cruise down the main streets on a leisurely Sunday morning, I can still feel its pleasant rumbling under my feet.
No wonder Chevy has been everyone’s muse since forever, you know?
The Cast Hi-Perf block clearly serves its purpose; it easily withstands all hard-driving demands, especially when I tore up the back roads to compete with my pals as if my life depended on it.
I haven’t gone further than the rough main streets around the neighborhood (my town was quite small back then), but I think even if I brought it down the mud, this Camaro could still handle whatever I threw at it without missing a beat. That “THB” stamp implies the car has been tuned for a bit more performance thrill, which explains it all!
The Performer 2.0 intake manifold and 750 cfm carburetor only tie things together.
Thanks to their impressively precise fuel delivery (plus the generous airflow), every press of the pedal feels much more responsive than I remember.
I am amazed at the delicate balance between old-school muscle and modern-day smooth feel because, trust me, you can’t always find that in every 90s car.
And then, there’s the classic 3-speed Turbo 400 transmission that takes your wild driving through a few more highs.
You can argue it’s far from the latest transmission tech, but I have driven this car more times than I can count on my fingers, pal! It’s still super reliable and delivers a smooth enough shift to match the engine’s insane power delivery.
Once you have adjusted yourself to its constant, addictive tempo, it’s hard to go back.
These beasts only cost around $3,000 when it was rolled out but now rack up to 80,000 bucks or more for a used one. Quite a lottery, don’t you think? But it’s really worth every single penny!
