The Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. Designed by Henry Haga, the first generation of the Camaro was introduced in September 1966 for the 1967 model year, with its styling done by the same team which did the 1965 Chevrolet Corvair. The base Camaro was introduced with a 280 ci (3.8L) L26 inline-6 and a 3-speed manual. The word "Camaro" does not appear to mean anything and was probably chosen to continue GM's tradition of naming cars with words beginning with the letter "C"; when asked, a GM spokesperson claimed that a Camaro was "a small, vicious animal that eats mustangs". 220,906 were produced for 1967.

One of the most popular Hot Wheels castings, the '67 Camaro acts as a mainstay of the Hot Wheels lineup many years after its introduction. The tooling was updated in 2017 with the hood cast shut and the base changed to plastic for Mainline releases. Premium releases occasionally retain the original tooling with an opening hood.

Along with its precursor; the Custom Camaro of 1968, it is one of the top 5 most popular Hot Wheels castings (2nd only to the Volkswagen Drag Bus), the " '67 Camaro" was first released in 1983. With the exception of the Color Shifters series.

Note that Harry Bradley designed the original Custom Camaro during the redline era. Larry Wood designed this car, and it was named " '67 Camaro" when it debuted in 1983.
