HISTORY OF THE FIRST
GENERATION CHEVY CAMARO
The first-generation
Camaro debuted in September 1966, for the 1967 model year, up to 1969 on a new
rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a two-door coupé or
convertible with 2+2 seating, and a choice of 230 cu in (3.8 L), 250 cu in (4.1
L) inline-6 or 302 cu in (4.9 L), 307 cu in (5.0 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), 350 cu
in (5.7 L), and 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 powerplants.
Concerned with the
runaway success of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet executives realized that their
compact sporty car, the Corvair, would not be able to generate the sales volume
of the Mustang due to its rear-engine design, as well as declining sales,
partly due to the negative publicity from Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at Any
Speed.
The Camaro was touted as
having the same conventional rear-drive, front-engine configuration as the
Mustang and Chevy II Nova. In addition, the Camaro was designed to fit a
variety of power plants in the engine bay. The first-generation Camaro lasted
until the 1969 model year, and eventually inspired the design of the new retro
fifth-generation Camaro.
The first-generation
offered a standard, Super Sport, and Rally Sport editions. In 1967, the Z/28
model was added featuring stripes on the hood and trunk, styled rally road
wheels, and a 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 engine. In the Rally Sport edition, it was
more the style of the car itself. Placed with the hideaway headlights, wing
windows, and the more rounded out rear fender. Once they brought out the 1968 model,
they introduced the use of side marker lights. With the 1969 Camaro they did
not have the wing windows as placed on the 1967 as well as having a more flat,
drawn-out rear fender.
