The first Camaro restored to it's former glory. It was a base model, 6 cyl with a three-on-the-tree. Camaros have been around for 50 YEARS already. OY VAY!! Are we getting old! Camaros were immortalized in song by The Ramones with Debbie Harry on backup vocals.

My favorite was the ‘69 with the 396.

It’s to be archived in the Library of Congress???? Are they installing a vehicle lift in the Dewey Decimal System?

My first car was a ‘70 Camaro. Nothing but trouble until it was stolen in 1979.

A friend of mine was offered “this” car in the unrestored state some years back.It was way too far gone to restore.A year later this car shows up.Read into that what you will.

Quite a change from the past. The V6 Camaro of today has about 322 horses, and back then you needed the small-block V8 to get that kind of power.

Traded into a ‘69 with a 327 coupled to a slip ‘n slide 2-speed powerglide. Fun in 1976...

Ah, no.

The first Camaro that mattered was the 302 cu in. Z-28.

The first of the great pony car era.

I got to drive a ‘69 Camaro (I believe) one summer with a big honking engine, Hearst shifter, all the goodies.
The owner was out in western Kansas somewhere. His, uh, girlfriend and I drove the wheels off that thing.
Lots of fun but a small back seat.

Oh my goodness .. I loved my Camaro. Creamy yellow with a black top (to look like it was a convertible).

WOW! How time flies when you’re having fun.

I had a ‘67 convertible, 327, 210 hp (I think), automatic, black on black with the gold band around the front, gold interior. Had the round grill running lights (as in the video). Sweet little car until a drunk hit me head on and destroyed it. Passenger and I were lucky to survive (minor cuts and bruises).

I’m working on my 67 Camaro this morning, finishing up the last fender rust repair. They really are a thing of beauty. Jst about back on the road again.

Back in ‘81 I went for a Firebird instead. Better looking car.
