That is my favorite Camaro body-style of all-time. That and the '68, which were virtually identical. Although I prefer the '69 grille more.

I would prefer Cragar S/S mags to whatever those are. And please replace all of the original factory chrome.

As far as the car being lowered like that? It makes me want to be physically ill.

Some of that era's Trans-Am (the cars that are the reason for the "Pony car" genre if you will) were as low if not lower. The pony cars were the road race cars of their day and when built for war had to handle better and lower center of gravity vastly improves upon stock handling.

That may well be, but I still think it would look better with the front raised 2 inches and the back raised 4 inches from where it is now. I would go into more detail, but I would probably get banned for racism.

At least you know your limitations. That is the first step to redemption.

I think the word you're thinking of is "limits". And as far as redemption goes, that's just silly nonsense.

Love it, beautiful job.

Almost looks like a Dave Kindig design. I'd drive it too!

Sorry guys. 1969 Camaro all the way.
67 and 68 were just practice runs for Chevy.

charley95

69 for me! Me and my old girlfreind back in 86 in her pretty rare 69 Z11 Pace Car.

Beautiful !!! Makes me jealous as the toys are hibernating in Michigan

Toolfan66

Love it!!

Toolfan66

Since I can’t have a 69, it’s why I have this.. can’t believe it’s been 7 years already, only has 27k miles on it..

EndersShadow

Yeah Larry.... but do UBuyGAS?......

Also I never saw the interior.... I'd expect we'd see "Larrys Rings" in all the stock speaker locations to ensure a snug fit

I like the top one, Larry. I can't maximize it, but it looks like a '69 S/S with a 396.

L O V E D THIS Camaro when I was a kid after seeing this movie for the first time in '85:

I owned this Camaro:



If I had the ca$h to get whatever I wanted, (in Camaro guise that is) I'd get the new ZL1 1LE:

I agree with the driver in that the major limiting factor of a car like that is the driver and that people should have to take special courses if they want to own and operate any of the modern "supercars" as, in the wrong hands, they can be deadly.

The one from "Better Off Dead" looks like a 1967 S/S and yours looks like a 1971-1973.

I've owned several Camaro's over the years. This one was my favorite, bought new in '79 (I was 19). Not much HP stock by todays standards but like vintage speakers she responded well to "mods". Got me a serious amount of *** as well, lol...

I had a '67 in 1985. When I left for the Army, I asked my step dad to drain the engine. He didnt and the block cracked. Told them to just sell it. They sold it to two guys from Georgia who said they were going to race it and replace the engine anyway. Two months later I get a letter from the Macon County Sheriff Dept stating that my car was used in an armed robbery. They didnt remove the plates before they sold it!

I had one similar to this (close in color without the racing stripes) in high school. Loved the car and had a blast with it. I wish I would of kept it.

The one from Better off Dead was a '67 SS & mine was a 1970 1/2 Camaro 350 with a 4bbl & 4-speed Muncie "rock crusher"

Ahhh, 70 1/2! Is that why there is a full front bumper instead of the split? Interesting.

I thought the 70-70 1/2 had the split bumper.. So the RS package had the Split, makes sense, and looks like the 70 1/2 was something the people came up with.. The 70 split bumper was always my second favorite Camaro..

Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969, with the exception of the 230 cu in (3.8 L) six-cylinder — the base engine was now the 250 cu in (4.1 L) six, rated at 155 hp (116 kW). The 1970 Camaro SS 396 had the 396 cu in (6.5 L) L78 rated at 350 hp (261 kW). Starting in 1970, the big block V8s (nominally 396 cu in (6.5 L)) actually displaced 402 cu in (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badges. Two 454 cu in (7.4 L) engines (the LS6 and LS7) were listed on early specification sheets and in some sales brochures but never made it into production.[4] Besides the base model, buyers could select the Rally Sport option with a distinctive nose and bumper, a Super Sport package, and the Z-28 Special Performance Package (priced at US$572.95)[1] featuring a new high-performance LT-1 360 hp (268 kW) 380 lb⋅ft (520 N⋅m) of torque 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8. The LT-1, an engine built from the ground up using premium parts and components, was a much better performer overall than the previous 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8s used in 1967-69 Z-28s; greater torque and less-radical cam, coupled with the 780 cfm Holley four-barrel,[1] permitted the Z-28 to be available with the 3-speed[1] Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission as an option to the four-speed manual for the first time. The LT-1 engine in the 1970 Camaro Z-28 came from the Corvette.

The new body style featured a fastback roofline and ventless full-door glass with no rear side quarter windows. Doors were wider to permit easier access to the rear seat, and new pull-up handles replaced the old handles, for which the lower button had to be pushed in to open the door. The roof was a new double-shell unit for improved rollover protection and noise reduction. The base model featured a separate bumper/grille design with parking lights under the bumper, while the Rally Sport option included a distinctive grille surrounded by a flexible Endura material along with round parking lights beside the headlights and bumperettes surrounding on both sides of the grille. The rear was highlighted by four round taillights similar to the Corvette. A convertible was not offered, making this the only Camaro generation not to offer one.[5]

The 1970, often mistakenly referred to as a 70½ (no cars were ever titled or registered as such),was the first Camaro offered with a rear stabilizer bar. The four-wheel disc brake option (RPO JL8 of 1969) was dropped.[1]

Inside, a new curved instrument panel featured several round dials for gauges and other switches directly in front of the driver while the lower section included the heating/air conditioning controls to the driver's left and radio, cigarette lighter and ashtray in the center and glovebox door on the right. New Strato bucket seats, unique to 1970 models, featured squared-off seatbacks and adjustable headrests, and the rear seating consisted of two bucket cushions and a bench seat back due to the higher transmission tunnel. The optional center console, with standard Hurst shifter,[1] was now integrated into the lower dashboard with small storage area or optional stereo tape player. The standard interior featured all-vinyl upholstery and a matte black dashboard finish, while an optional custom interior came with upgraded cloth or vinyl upholstery and woodgrain trim on dash and console.

The 1970 model was introduced to the assembly plants in February 1970, halfway through the model year. This caused some people to refer to it as a "1970½." model; all were 1970 models. The 1970 model year vehicles are generally regarded as the most desirable of the early second-generation Camaros, since the performance of following years was reduced by the automobile emissions control systems of the period and later the addition of heavy federally mandated bumpers.

Camaro was my first car also. 1974 with a 350 and 4 speed. Dropped in a Realistic stereo with cassette and 2 6x9s in the back deck. Was a great first car. No air conditioner, but I didn't care. Then I got married and she cared, so it had to go. This color.
