      Chevy swung and missed on the new Camaro. I had a 68 RS convertible with a 327 in it. Still my favorite car I've owned. It was a puke cream color when I got it but we did some work and turned it red just like this one but with a black nose stripe. Oh I miss that car!

      I thought that. But he’s not wrong. He didn’t mean it to be bad sounding. After 71 insurance and fuel prices killed a lot of it. And mind you edelbrock intakes and such came on factory performance cars. Of which went away around when the hemi went in 1971.

    Posters here have some tough comments on Mr. Barry.Sure, modern hot rodding is big business and it grudgingly needs people who can walk the corporate walk and talk to run them. I was judging Mr. Barry pretty harshly for a few minutes until he mentioned he bought a Yarborough Cyclone. No stick in the mud executive I ever worked for bought anything more than a grey Mercedes. Guy is OK in my book.

    That old beauty really brings back memories. Never owned one but had friends who did and we'd go cruising the scene or bombing around up in the hills. They were great cars, back then; when folks weren't forced to live on the streets in their RV's as shown in the last few minutes of Jay's video, all lined up one after another.

    That 67 is just gorgeous. I remember back in the late 80's the popular combo for small block chevy was using a Edelbrock intake with a Holley carb. The setup I had on m y Camaro worked great. Good to hear how well Edelbrock is doing. 650 plus employees and making everything in the U.S. I have to respect that.

    I love this 67 SS Camaro. I have magazines going back to the 70's with it. It is a fairly well optioned Camaro too. It has
    Electric Windows, Shoulder Seat Belts, Factory Headrest Bucket Seats and Deluxe Interior.
    I really wished they would have gotten their info correct about it. The pictures they show in the beginning was from a 68 Camaro
    and not the 67 SS Camaro they were talking about.
    This 67 Hot Rod Camaro was side swiped back in the late 70's by a garbage truck. Totaled the rear quarter panel, driver side door and front fender. Jim McFarland had to get that fixed.

    I own the latest gen...a ZL1 1LE. I never wanted a Camaro until I read about how amazing it is. The engine (LT4 Supercharged 6.2L V8, that puts out 650 HP and 650 lb-ft), the Alpha chassis, Brembo brakes, and the adjustable MultiMatic DSSV track suspension (which you don't even get on any Corvette) are sensational! It also has 11 intercoolers (1 more than a Bugatti), so it's practically impossible to overheat on the racetrack. The interior is top notch...Recaro seats, touch screen, HUD, Performance Data Recorder in high def, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, carbon fiber dash, etc.). Mine has a manual transmission, because I want the full driving experience. Manual transmissions are going away...look at the new Mustang GT500 and the new Corvette. They are going DCT. I hear they are going to cancel the Camaro once again after they finish with this gen. Soon you won't see cars like this being made, so I'm super glad I have one. It looks badass as well. One of the top 20 track times of all time on the Nurbürgring. Love it!

      I think Jay was being more general than that. Camaro was introduced in an odd year. 1968 saw the whole Chevrolet line redesigned. The 67 camaro has some parts shared with those newer cars but most with the cars that ran from 64-67. I saw a 66 el camino that had almost the exact interior as my 67 camaro. So, he wasn't saying that a 66 camaro couldn't have headrests, he was saying that a 66 chevrolet wouldn't have. Still dont know if that is true, but the headrests are a rare option.

    The HRM test Camaro was originally an SS350 rated at 295 Hp. It didn’t take them long to swap in a 396 and get it into the 11s. Somewhere I have several HRM issues from 1967 ( year before I was born). This is probably the most iconic Camaro ever and it’s amazing that it’s stayed low mileage and preserved.
