: a camaro WITHOUT a rear-spoiler (that's just crazy)
okiemark Aug 5th, 08, 09:14 AM I wonder if there are any camaros left in the world that don't have a rear spoiler? I'm considering this CRAZY move on my '68 that is being restored. (it came without one, by the way) I'm leaning toward a medium-blue for color, does anyone have a pic of a '68 blue camaro WITHOUT a rear spoiler. :thumbsup:
69Tom Aug 5th, 08, 09:18 AM haha. That's pretty funny, Mark. I actually am restoring my '69 back to original--no rear spoiler. I personally like how they look without the spoiler. They really have great lines.
Icemans_67 Aug 5th, 08, 10:10 AM The 67 vert I'm doing in jet black will not have a rear spoiler, considering a front one. Crazy maybe, just think its better looking that way IMHO.:yes:
67 Convertible Aug 5th, 08, 10:18 AM My '67 vert has no rear spoiler.....
Melrose RS Aug 5th, 08, 10:23 AM I don't have a rear but I just added a front. I'll probably break down and add a rear someday...
My cars a real spoiler car and it doesn't have the rear one mounted. I do have it and the thicker trunk rod if I ever decide to go back to it...
okiemark Aug 5th, 08, 10:41 AM Don- would love to see a jet black camaro without a rear spoiler, I've thought about that color also. right now the car is down to bare metal and the back just looks so cool. I already have 2 hoods to paint (the original and a cowl hood it came with), might as well have a spoiler handy in case I change my mind. By the way... I'm also doing something even CRAZIER than no rear spoiler; I'm choosing the original hood over the much glorified, on every car and truck, cowl hood.
keypilot Aug 5th, 08, 10:44 AM my 67 doesnt have one. I think I will keep it that way too

I'm also doing something even CRAZIER than no rear spoiler; I'm choosing the original hood over the much glorified, on every car and truck, cowl hood.I am currently stripping mine down, I actually have three hoods, flat, cowl, and SS. I can't decide between the cowl or SS. Once I get it in primer I'm going to use HOK jet set black as well as paint all three hoods. With the red interior, I think will look awesome can't wait but it looks like next spring before I get the interior back into car. I'll post some pics once I get the color back on it. Working 60 hours per week, wife, kids, doesn't leave a lot of time for the car, but I'm doing all the work myself so I can say I did it.
okiemark Aug 5th, 08, 11:25 AM My favorite part about the first gen. camaros is the SS HOOD. I still may go that direction even though it's not an SS. if you go with red int. you should get the knock-off walnut wheel. that's a great look with red int. Here's another CRAAAAZY idea, what about gold interior with the HOK jet black exterior. darn,.... I just may do that on mine. You can do things on a muscle car that you can't do on a regular, modern passenger car. we were discussing this the other day about certain colors like yellow or some greens; colors that look great on muscle cars.

Already have all new red int, so other colors are out, but gold would look good, as would yellow and black combination. You are right about colors on muscle cars. I may have to look into a walnut wheel, the current wheel is red. I'm fairly sure mine is not an SS even thought the rusted hood, beat up badges etc.. point that direction, the cowl tag doesn't. It doesn't matter to me as this one is for the wife to drive and enjoy on sunny days. If it can't come out of the garage with the top down it doesn't come out .

Daral Aug 5th, 08, 12:25 PM 67s did not come with rear spoilers. They were not an option that year.
okiemark Aug 5th, 08, 12:26 PM Thanks Will! man, that red stripe works on black; and it DOES look great without the spoiler. Although you very, very seldom see SS wheels, I prefer the dog dish on the black.. man, I'll never make my mind up
Dale8346 Aug 5th, 08, 10:10 PM NOT even the Z-28 came with a spoiler in 1967.
TheKnife2 Aug 6th, 08, 12:12 PM Very few 68 convertibles have spoilers. I'm not sure how it would look but it would look better than that luggage rack.
Anyone have a luggage rack installed on convertible?
Arch Stanton Aug 6th, 08, 01:30 PM My '67 Jane doesn't have one.
Not going to put one on, as everybody & their sister has one.
erik67ssrs Aug 6th, 08, 05:29 PM None for me.

It's kinda funny that when I got my first 69 in 1972 I was in high school and wanted a spoiler to be different. Now I don't add it to be different.
RSSSfanatic Aug 8th, 08, 12:27 PM Here is my original RS/SS BB car with no spoiler...

okiemark Aug 8th, 08, 12:34 PM Trying to find a Camaro with a rear spoiler is about as hard as finding a strand of pukka shells in a Maui gift shop.
ckaram Aug 9th, 08, 07:54 PM Here's one. No luggage rack, though :D

Daytona Yellow 69 Z/28 Aug 11th, 08, 08:21 AM Here is our non spoiler Convert. Although I may add one in the future, I still really like thelook of the spoiler. :o

Kokamo Aug 11th, 08, 10:43 AM I know it's a 69, but it's still sweet........

SunnyZ28 Aug 11th, 08, 10:45 AM Personally I LOVE the look of the spoiler.
It gives a much sportier look to the car.
To each their own though!

My brother threatened to give me the luggage rack nos and attach it to the car. I hid it and he never found it, that was close !!!! I didn't even want to but another trunk lid, man its not my thing
It does nothing for me.
OK69 Aug 13th, 08, 10:48 PM I think they look good w/o the spoiler. But, the spoiler is just "icing" on the cake!
camarrowman Aug 14th, 08, 04:01 PM I read a long time ago that air flow was better without rear spoiler but with front air dam.
jeffafd Aug 14th, 08, 04:33 PM I personally like the rear spoiler, But I am presently restoring my 69 convertible that came without the spoiler and will not be getting one.
mb302rs Aug 14th, 08, 07:12 PM Wow, thats alot guys that prefer no spoiler. Even the firebird guys put the camaro spoiler on their cars. I love the look of the spoiler and the cowl hood no matter how many others have them.
I like the spoiler look so much, I'm putting a T/A spoiler on the firebird 400 we're building. :yes:
Bad67355 Aug 14th, 08, 07:42 PM How are you guys posting pics in the thread without leaving a link like mine? My 67 rs has no spoiler,but i do like the look of 1.

When you go to post, there is an icon at the top of the page that looks like a small mountain. It is for inserting the image. Paste the link into the box and voila........your pic appears.
Nice 67.............the best year.........:hurray:
Bad67355 Aug 15th, 08, 06:47 AM thank you for the help
