SEMA 50th Anniversary 1967 Camaro Is Up for Sale Once Again
Four years after it was built for SEMA and auctioned off for charity, this special 1967 Camaro has resurfaced.
Back in 2016, WD-40 teamed up with SEMA Cares to build a very special 1967 Camaro, which was also designed to pay tribute to both the SEMA Show and the Camaro’s 50th anniversaries. The car went on to debut at the 2016 SEMA Show, then, a few months later, was auctioned off for charity at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale, where it hammered for $165,000. Now, this famous 1967 Camaro is up for sale once again via Cars.com.
This special 1967 Camaro was designed by Neil Tjin and built in partnership with Tjin and instructors from the Universal Technical Institute. The installation of all its mechanical components – engine, transmission, suspension, etc. – was documented on PowerNation TV, and was completed with help from a host of aftermarket companies including Eckler’s, Budnik Wheels, Axalta, Eibach, Falken Tires, Baer Brake Systems, LR Auto Body, and Optima Batteries.
The drivetrain consists of a supercharged 6.2L LS3 E-Rod engine, which is mated to a 4L65E 4-speed transmission. The Camaro rolls on an Art Morrison chassis with an aftermarket frame and is fitted with a C6 Corvette suspension. The interior is fully custom as well and features WD-40’s logo stitched into the seats. On the outside, the very yellow machine rolls on Budnik wheels and wears a custom carbon fiber rear spoiler.
“This Camaro project is very exciting for us because it not only celebrates two very important 50th-anniversary milestones but also allows WD-40 Company to continue to support the automotive industry, which is a cornerstone of our business,” Tim Lesmeister, vice president of marketing at WD-40 Company, said when the car debuted.
When it was last sold, this Camaro helped raise money for Childhelp, an organization that provides services to abused and neglected children, as well as the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to students entering the automotive aftermarket.
Now, it’s up for grabs once again for the same price it sold for a few years ago – $165,000. It’s clear that quite a bit of money went into transforming this 1967 Camaro from a stock piece to a SEMA-worthy show rig, so we’d say that price is certainly justified. Throw in the car’s star status and, well, it would serve as an interesting conversation piece for the new owner, if nothing else.
