- 1). Look at the windows. The first thing that distinguishes a 1967 Camaro is the side windows. The 1967 model includes a small vent window, located in front of the main one that turns in and out. These vent windows are absent in the 1968 and 1969 model Camaros.
- 2). Look at the lights. The 1967 Camaro did not have side marker lights. Side marker lights were added to each quarter of the vehicle in 1968 due to a new mandate by the federal government.
- 3). Look for engine size emblems. The engine size emblems on the 1967 Camaro were located on the rear of the fender. In 1968 they were moved to the front of the fender.
- 4). Inspect the front bumper. The Camaro Research Group points out the front bumpers of the 1967 and 1968 models are almost identical, but not fully interchangeable. The 1967 model has one hole for mounting the front license plate holder to the bumper. The 1968 bumper has two extra holes.
- 5). Look at the driver's side rear-view mirror. The 1967 Camaros were produced with a round mirror. Rectangular mirrors began in 1968.
- 6). Inspect the headlamps. The 1967 Camaro headlamp doors were electrically operated. Vacuum-operated headlamp doors were experimented with in 1968.
- 7). Look at the taillights. The 1967 Camaro taillight assembly consisted of two rectangular lights inside a rectangular chrome lining. The 1968 Camaro taillight assembly included a chrome separation between the two rectangular lights.
- 8). Inspect the header panel and deck lid emblems. Jason Scott advises, in "The Restorers Guide," that in 1967 the lettering emphasized "Chevrolet" and was changed to emphasize "Camaro" in 1968.
