The and models are very similar to each other, but the grille itself will help identify them. On the model, the grille is all black, whereas models originally had silver horizontal trim. The model stands alone as the headlamps are hidden behind a three-bar headlamp door that partially exposes the headlight behind it.
In the signal lamp is round and moved inward towards the license plate. The models have round signal lamps below the bumper. The grille in has two horizontal bars above and below the signal lamps, and in the grille trim encapsulates the signal lamps and grille.
For , the grille will have a more pronounced point at the center, with two horizontal bars extending to the inset headlamp. Identifying the first-generation Camaro from the rear requires a couple of details.
Firstly, the fuel filler is in the rear of all three, but only on the Camaro is it below the bumper, behind the license plate. In the and model, the filler cap is on the rear body panel between the tail lamps.
The identifying factor for the RS model, however, is the back-up lamp below the bumper. For there is a single lens for the tail lamp. The RS model will have a long, rectangular red tail lamp, with the back-up lamp below the bumper.
In , the RS model will have a two-part red tail lamp with a rectangular back-up lamp below the bumper. In , the tail lamps take on a different, more slender shape. Emblems are pretty sporadic, depending on the year and trim level. Hopefully, this will help you to identify both year and model when you see the first-gen Camaro.
But that also gets a little deeper than the basic differences listed above. The Muncie speedometer cable passes through the firewall on the passenger side of the steering column.
The LM1 can be more difficult to ascertain, since this model shared many of the same features as the SS, including two fuel lines, a bolt axle and, if ordered with a 4-speed, a Muncie transmission. The SS package included disc brakes and dual exhausts. Lack of either of these features means it originally was a LM1, but, since both were optional on the LM1, the presence of them is inconclusive. In both years, two Camaros were special-built to serve as the actual Pace Car for the race the second was a back-up.
There were a number of other Pace Cars replicas that were used in the festival parade and by VIP and visiting press at the race. Along with the two literal Pace Cars and the other Pace Cars in attendance at the race, Chevy offered Pace Car replicas to dealers for sale to the public. In '67, the color scheme was a white Camaro with blue 'bumble bee' stripe around the nose , blue deluxe interior, and a white convertible top. Los Angeles-built cars do not have a special code on the cowl tag, but have the unique build combination of A exterior and interior codes.
This was a regional promotion for certain southwestern states. While the Z10 was similar to the Z11 Pace Car replica, any color interior could be ordered. There are no production records but between to of the Z10 cars were built at the Norwood plant between 3rd week of April 04C and 1st week of May 05A. All Z10 cars have a Z10 code on the cowl tag. Some of the original engines were pulled and a cast-iron big block installed, with the pulled ZL-1's being sold as crate engines for use in racecars.
There were many more blocks eventually sold as service parts. GM realized it would have a problem selling more s, which were no-option race cars with a healthy price tag.
The COPO proposal was dreamed up as a response. Vince Piggins and his GM design staff hand-built 2 of these prototypes.
The was intended to be a more streetable car, running CR as opposed to Both prototypes were Tuxedo Black Rally Sports with special gold striping. While most of the s were plain-jane cars, the s had options like RS, gauges, spoilers, special steering wheel, racing mirrors, gold-lettered tires, etc.
The location of either prototype is not known. Unfortunately for posterity, this COPO never made it to production. ID'ing first-generation high-performance models There are several things to look at to identify how a car was originally equipped. The following are some of the major distinguishing characteristics of the performance options. There are many other clues, both positive and negative. The complete list of identifying features is shown on the following pages: ID table ID table ID table All performance models, with two exceptions, used the bolt axle.
Also 69 SS's with the Powerglide transmission an unusual combination were often equipped with a bolt axle. All factory big-block cars are Super Sports, except for COPO models A car that originally came with a big-block engine, even if the engine is absent, will often still have the original big-block heater box, which is distinctly different from that of the small block or L-6 engine.
The big-block heater core inlet and outlet go through the heater box, whereas the small-block cover is unpierced - with the inlet and outlet coming through the firewall next to the inboard end of the cover. It provided, most notably, hideaway headlights and reverse lights below the rear bumper. There were different striping combinations availible at different times during the production. SS is a combination appearance package and performance package as Hart mentioned.
The SS also had striping options. In other words the car will be badged RS not SS. Previous Index Next. Execution time: 0. Total Queries: 10 Zlib Compression is on. All times are GMT Pacific. Current time is AM Top.
