In the autumns of the late 50's and throughout the 60's our gang of guys would enthusiasticall converge upon the local dealerships in our small town to gaze upon the new wild auto designs; many times the dealers would still have the new models covered-up and hidden in the back compelling us to sneak back and lift up the tarps for different angled peaks!!! "1957" stood out with Chrysler Corporation's big finned "forward look" promotion. Back in those days autos had noticeable changes each model year. Moving into the 70's, however, all that seemed to change with many autos becoming "boxie" with very little imaginative designs. Miss those good 'ole days!!!

I worked at Chrysler at this time and was able to do some Competitive Analysis on the Camaro. I took the new z302 (not expecting much) and proceeded to run our engine max power Dyno runs. Although the 302cu. In chevy didn't make big max power numbers it made a great long high power curve be didn't knock it at all. Until the valve rocker studs started to walk out of the head and seeing as i was using a electric research Dynamometer i was able to catch the power loss as it happen and shut down the test before real failure. We asked chevy if we could but screw in rocker studs we did. And it worked well, 69 or 70. Our 305 AAR engine was being developed at this time, can't say anything was borrowed but ours didn't need any help.:-) our AAR CUDA is what turned me into a performance drive. I used to tell people "i even get paid to be their" best job ever, buy American.

Both cars are classics and legendary. The bean-counters at Chevy made so many features optional to bring base price down that it backfired on paper, but dealers usually added a lot of the little things for stock cars. Stepping up to a Firebird made sense back then.

Yes. People did expect it. People traded in their cars more often than today. In those days, if you had a car that was 5 years old, it was considered “old” and outdated. Cars then were built to wear out sooner and they did. By the time they had 100kmiles, they were considered tired and ready for the salvage yard

Just think of the day in 1970 you could go into any dealership and just check off options and get the hottest muscle car at that time and that today would be worth many, many times more.. (talking about getting the Hemi's, 6-packs, Boss's, BB Chevy's for like around $4-5k..) Guess it's kinda like today.. Sure, you can go in and try to get a Hell Cat, Viper, Shelby 500, Vette and the like, but it's gonna run you some $80k +.. So, why didn't my Dad get a Hemi Cuda or Boss 429 back in 1970?? Well, he had a family, middle class, making only around $10k a year, so he got an F250 instead... I remember the day we picked it up, brand new.. There on the Ford lot was all kinds of brand new Mustangs, Torinos, and muscle cars of the time... Oh well, days gone by and we can only remember those old days and say "could'a, would'a, should'a"... :)

You know you've got a hot new product when the competition has to compare itself to it in order to try and convince people that your Plymouth is a better car. Personally I've always preferred the looks of the Dodge Charger over that of the Barracuda. And that 1970 Camaro wasn't that bad looking either. That's probably why GM sold 430K Camaros from 1971 to 1974 compared to 114K for the Plymouth Barracuda. But still, I've always had a soft spot for the underdog, that's why I drive one of the 1682 Kia Stingers GT Limited sold on the Canadian market in 2018. 😉

Chevrolet has always been ahead of the curve. Sometimes too far, i.e. the Corvair. The Cuda is a gorgeous car, but it looks a lot like a first generation Camaro. I like the 70 to 73 small back windows. But I'm sure they could've kept selling that 67 to 69 body style for several more years. I think the 68 to 70 B body Road Runners and GTX look a lot like the 66 & 67 Chevelle. The best looking Mopar of All Time is the 68 to 70 Dodge Charger. That is a Beautiful car to look at and more original in design. No mistaking it for anything else.

Pontic had the WS-6 Suspension with 4 wheel disc brakes 455 and 400 CI motors over the years.. Trans Ams had nicer interieor and sharper looking Instrument panels too .. GM has gone down the Tubes and Chrysler is Foreign owned . Mine is a '79 Z-28 .

A funny thing about the 2nd gen Camero, they didn't leave enough room for a good high-performance exhaust system, that's why the 396 is 25 HP lower than it would be in a Chevelle. If you compare a Chevelle with a 396 or an LT1 350 with a Camero with the same engines and drivetrain the Chevelle will be a little faster despite being heavier.

Leaf springs in 400 HP car? Really? In Europe stupid, communistic Skoda 100 had control arms and stabilizer. Second interesting thing is, that you were pointing at things, that completelly doesn't matter in Europe. Like if you can lift seat in 0,5 or 0,6 seconds or if the window moves to front or back. Two completelly different worlds of cars.

Look at those push-up boobs on those models! I was in high school when both of these came. The father of a friend bought one of these Barracudas, being a Mopar guy. My impression at 5'10" was always like I was sitting in a bathtub, the very same feeling I had a couple of years later with the last of the Mustangs. I really enjoy watching these old marketing presentations, but it's so patently obvious that this was made by some middle-aged guys who were trying to be hip. Did they really think that the average customer cared about back seat comfort? C'mon, now. I say go back and look at the sales figures; that'll tell you what people think, not these bimbos posing. Incidentally, I was a Pontiac guy and loved the new 70 1/2 Firebird...

The 70' Camaro was late to market because of 69' factory strike. Camaro still outsold them in 70'.

Hear me out: I never really liked this generation of camaro... it looks like a gasping fish. Don't get me wrong, I don't know anything about the performance or handling (i bet its pretty good) I just hate how it looks.

Our dad had a '68 he bought new off the showroom floor. He hated all the other models that came after it. Throughout the 70's and 80's it was his daily driver, and he never saw it as something that would eventually be regarded as a classic. It wasn't until the early 1990's that mom and I had someone follow us home from the grocery store and offer to buy it. After that, the car was always getting attention. It's funny how when you grow up with something like that, you don't really think of it as something special. Little brother has it in his garage now.

That's probably more true of the RS with the split bumper as the full width bumper on the standard Camaro has quite a different look. That said, the RS is generally considered to be the more desirable style.

Ahí es dónde los "+30cv" del Barracuda se fueron... Camaro 2G era más ágil, pero el Barracuda era más útil ("casi" caben adultos atrás). (si no entendiste algo del "filme" de diapositivas para los concesionarios puedes preguntarme en confianza...)
