Linda Perry, that Grammy-nominated powerhouse behind some of rock’s biggest hits and once the fiery voice of 4 Non Blondes, is gearing up to say goodbye to a true love—her 1967 Chevy Camaro Super Sport convertible. Come January, the muscle car will roar onto the auction block at Barrett-Jackson, closing a chapter on Perry’s lifelong romance with one of Detroit’s most legendary rides.
Talk about a machine with attitude. The ’67 Camaro SS burst onto the scene in late ’66, a snarling response to Ford’s Mustang. This wasn’t just sheet metal and horsepower; it was a statement. With V8s ranging from a growling 350 to a beastly 396 pumping out 375 horses, it looked like it was moving even when parked—low-slung, all hood and swagger. Chevy nailed it, and the design cues stuck around for generations.
For Perry, snagging this drop-top wasn’t just a purchase; it was fate. Spotted at a car show, the thing practically winked at her. Manual transmission, Super Sport badging, the whole nine yards. It became her sidekick, cruising through life and even sneaking into her art. Now, it steals scenes in her raw, no-holds-barred documentary Let It Die Here, which started as scrappy studio clips before morphing into a full-blown film. And yeah, there’s a new album coming in 2026, with Perry tearing into a stripped-down version of Beautiful.
But all good things, right? After years together, she’s ready to pass the keys. No shady backlot deals—she wanted this beauty to land with real gearheads who’d get what makes it special. Enter Barrett-Jackson, a scene she vibed with after some family hype from Arizona.
Perry’s all in for the auction’s opening night on January 17, dipping her toes into the high-octane world of collector car insanity. Never done the big-league auction thing before, but she’s stoked to meet fellow petrolheads and maybe spot that perfect next owner—someone who’ll love this Camaro like she did, throttle wide open.
