When introduced in 1967, the underpinnings of the Camaro came from the Nova. Solid rear axles, leaf springs, drum brakes, it was Chevrolet’s Mustang and sold for less than $2,500. Like the Mustang, there was a wide range of options to upgrade the car’s performance capabilities.
In December of 1967, the Z/28 option was offered to qualify the car for racing in the SCCA Trans-Am Series which had an engine size limit of 5 liters. The package included the 302 V-8, front disc brakes, suspension modifications and Positraction rear axle.
In February of 1970, the second generation body style was introduced. Designated a 1970-1/2 model its styling had been heavily influenced by the Ferrari 250GT Berlinetta Lusso. The Z/28 featured a 360 horsepower LT-1 350 V-8 engine that was only offered for one year.
The Camaro went through four generations before ceasing production after the 2002 model year. It would be eight years before it was brought back in 2010.
