Bc they were made first which natural send them to number 1.

 

 

67 and 68 Camaros have more balls then 69.
They have 6 more balls in the Muncie shifter alone.
(The reverse detent plunger has 6 balls in a spring loaded steel ring)

 

Vent windows. Enough said.

 

Mono leaf springs and wheelhop?

 

We all know to stay away from 1st year run of any car ,can always count on having all bugs worked by 2nd year so 68 would be the 2nd year run ...:yes: and always Happy Motoring... :beers:

 

This man speaks the truth!!

 

He, He!!

Don't get me started b/c my car has over $1200 worth of option boxes checked and NO P/S, P/B's, A/C or A/T.. But I did check P/W's!!

pdq67 and my custom ordered 350SS/RS car b/c I ordered the SS and added RS to it......

 

"Why do 67's RULE" .....They do? Rule what? Corvairs?

 

The answer is simple......there would be no 68's or 69's without the 67!
Anything that is great about the following years owes it's debt to the "imperfections" of the 67. Being first isn't easy.

I love em all, just prefer the 67.

 

A couple of reason's I like the 67 vent windows and all you have to do is look at the cowl tag and you know what you got or what you trying to buy. Cannot under stand what GM was thinking on the 68 cars as far as cowl tag info. I do like the 68 and 69 cars.

 

I can't really pinpoint why they are my favorite, which is why they are my favorite I suppose. When I go to a show, or see one on the street, I just know that the 67 is the one for me. My dad had all three years in our garage (bodyshop) at one time, but the 67's always seemed to be the one. My dad ran his bodyshop for 20 or so years, and I was able to work on, and around some the most unbelievable muscle cars you have ever seen. The 67 Camaro however was the standout model for me (amongst any cars, not limited to Camaros), even before I knew what a First Gen Camaro was.

I like the 69 models, as well as the 68s. For me though, a 68 Camaro or a 69 Camaro would not necessarily be the next car in line to add to my collection. Am I walking on the thin line of blasphemy here? I am looking/hoping for a 68 Chevelle, a 72 Corvette and a 70 Challenger.

If I never get the others, I'll always have my 67 Plane Jane, which is plenty for me.

 

There's only 1 ORIGINAL of ANY new model......67 = Alpha Camaro..

 

It's all good ,1st gen's rule out the rest ....and always Happy Motoring,(I am going to have a beer for you all when I get home from work and just look at my Friend ,she is blue and wonderful to look at, and only 39 years young, 68 is when she rolled off the line ,lunch time now ).. :beers: Later

 

Anything after 67..... It's a "clone"
You guys like clones dont't you?

Like they said already ...........VENT WINDOWS / Lap Belts / No smog equipment ! Ignition on the WAll like a real muscle car . gotta love the 67's.

Plus its the first year .. what more could you ask for . ?

 

Less brake wear.....I can slow my 67 down by deploying the vent windows !!!

 

"It's all good!"

 

Don you have some nice cars there.:thumbsup: Congrats! I do like the 69 best of all of them though. Doug

 

1967 did not have that nasty A.I.R. pump on the Z/28 and the L78

 

67's rule because they have "wings windows"? Bwaaaahahahaha. You're killing me here. I like 67's just fine, but they "rule"? Ignition on the wall? So do other cars of 67 like the Corvairs.....Hehe

My grandmother's Oldsmobile has the key on the column too. Very cool.


The 67 was the original Mustang killer. For that reason alone it should be revered as the best. The 68 and 69 were icing on the cake, but the 67 IS the cake.

 

Only year with chrome interior trim availble and it looks awsome. Rear interior lights installed in side panels availble. I love the Std grill on the 67's, very simple and nice looking. Lower door hinges are cast and very strong and mount with counter sunk screws for a clean look. Vin not on the dash, Chrome arm rest bases. Simple and excellent fitting door panels with real chrome trim. Chevy cross flags on fenders!!! Deep Water Blue !!! 67 Z28 is a true sleeper and not a flashy option. Cowl induction from the cowl. 4 piston caliper dics brakes. No folding licence plate to get to your gas cap!!! The 67 SS was the only car from Chevy to have the 350 in 1967, the rest got it starting in 68.

And............................wing windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times do I have to tell you...

 

Oh man I hate the vent windows!!! What are you all smoking??? '68's are a 'refined' version of the '67.. Before the crazy, ungodly, let it all hang out '69's came out!!

 

The fancy interior for me here as well as the console with the round gauges on it...

And vent windows rule!!!

The designers of the new Camaro back in early 1966 were trying to figure how to change the Corvair look into a pony car. They were all in-fighting and could not agree on any of the design elements. Back and forth they went without an agreeable design. Then head of the design and engineering department was frustrated to no end. He called a meeting and shouted out " I have had it with this bickering and want to stop this little design war you all seem to be in at this time. I think its time you all just go outside and VENT " When they all came back in they all were in a better frame of mind and finished the design. Well,... now you know how the 67 got the vent or wing windows.

Just because it has wing windows doesn't mean it will fly.
