K I want to know the difference between the two. I already know about the wing windows on the 67 but not on the 68 and that the vin number on the 67 is on the door pillor and on the 68 its on the dash. If you know any difference let me know

  1. The 67 Camaro doesn't have side marker lights. They started putting side marker lights after 67. The 68 Camaro had the side marker lights. (Turn Signals)


  2. http://www.firstgencamaro.com/1968.html  

  3. roughly about 1 year depending on individual cars

  4. The better under dash ventilation system which meant no vent windows is a good one for '68 compared to the first year '67.

    The taillights are different. The front grill and parking lights are different but i can never remember which is which. I apologize. Between the hidden headlights and stuff they had a few different configurations those 2 years.

    But,

    The '67 had a Z/28 option that you could order. It was literally the letter code on the ordering form! But they didn't call the car a Z/28.

    Later on, Chevy marketing thought the '67 option code Z/28 had a cool ring to it...so in '68 if you ordered that code you got emblems on the car stating is was in fact a Z/28! Chevy made the same DZ-302 Z/28 engine from '67 to '69.

    Here's the most knowledge,

    The BIGGEST difference between a '67 and a '68 Camaro is more than just Camaro. It effected every car sold in the united states in 1968.

    In 1968, the Federal Government made it mandatory for all car's sold in the United States to have SIDE MARKER LIGHTS!

    Those little marker lights on the side of the front fender and rear quarter are 1968 to present day for every car! Therefore, the 1967 Camaro has NO marker lights at all on the side but the '68 to present day does!

    No car before '68 did.

    I'll throw this in,....1986 was the first year the government made the rear, middle, '3rd brake light' mandatory!

    That may not interest you...until you find yourself looking at mid '80's IROC Camaro's or Monte Carlo SS's or Vette's or T/A's or etc. etc.

  5. The easiest way to tell is the park lights in the front grille. 1967 are round, 1968 are rectangular. 1969 has dropped rear fenders.

  6. The same basic body style was used for the 1968 Camaro and it is sometimes hard to spot the differences between a 1967 Camaro and a 1968 Camaro. Upon closer inspection, you will see that the vent windows were deleted and side markers were added (per new federal safety regulations). Rectangular parking lamps replaced the round ones on the grille. Also new for 1968 was a 350 horsepower version of the 396 cubic inch big block V8.
