This movie was pretty 1970s depressing. That car was sweet though.

I lived around the corner from that car dealer shame I missed the chance on buying that car. Oh well, I do have a 69 Z/28 real DZ today. Thank you for the video on this car. Memories of my teenage 70's.

True, but that's awesome that you have a real 69 Z/28 though!

Thank you thank you thank you for doing an episode on this iconic Camaro!!

I remember this Camero from the issue of Car Craft. The whole issue dealt with road racer styled cars which was definitely my cup of tea. Great work as usual, Boss! 👍

[@CarStarz42]

Indeed, I LOVE these style of cars too; was pretty much Pro-touring before Pro-touring, but even cooler and better! 🙂👍

[@barrycuda3769]

Last night I rewatched this movie, as I do every now and then just for the Camaro, and shortly after , I found your informative video on the car, I was very surprised to see it . I've always loved that trans am series road racer style of muscle cars , the wide rubber , the wheels ( often Miniltes) chin spoilers, hood pins etc. The Bobby and Rose car has extra appeal to me for it's wheel's , those 5 slot mags are my all time favorite wheel ,and I would think that they were the original Ansen brand on this car? ( the design was copied by many other manufacturers) Also cool to learn that the engine was a Traco built 302 , as for it running an Edelbrock manifold and four barrel in the movie instead of Webers, the reason may have partly been because the expensive downdraft setup , wouldn't be typical for a young guy with limited finances. Also it's interesting that the car was built as a racer by American International Racers , led by this guy Dan Mc Laughlin who I,d actually never heard of , but I know of the team with that name which was owned by the actor James Garner, I suppose it must be the same team , although I noticed in the photo of their transporter they used a different style of logo , and that they were unloading a Lola T70 painted white , and Garners Lola's were blue ???. Anyway, thanks ( from New Zealand) .

[@CarStarz42]

I love these style of racers as well and am a big Camaro fan in general. Regarding the wheels, different sources state different brands, but mast say Ansen, US, or American Racing, but their all pretty much the same. Yeah, Dan McLaughlin owned the group after James, so there's a lot of cross over when folks discuss AIR in general.

[@josephfnieto8481]

Traco the same peeps that built the motors for Penskie and Mark Donahue's Camaro which dominated the Trans Am circuit back innthe 60s . I have a complete camel hump cyliinder heads w the factory bigger valves , crank , pistons , water pump etc original Z/28 motor , BUT from a 70s Z so its the 350 not the 302 but still awsome , in my parts stash only missing the orig Z intake manifold BUT i do have a 70s Street Tarantula as well as another single plane bigger runners higher performance manifold . Looks like its time to freshen up the beast and drop it in something.

Well aloha to you carstarz for surprising me with this hard core 68 camaro form the movie 'Aloha Bobby and Rose' as this is not the typical style for camaro as most are likely going for drag racing that road racing so very few were bulit to canyon corner is rare choice back then just like movie 68 (also been a real race car is some serious street cred to boot) with today's hot rod going for more all around style in building theses days i can say this movie was a head of the curve my friend anyway its nice to know that 68 camaro is still around but thanks for the video and have great day bye now. P.S Hey CarStarz i have one more thing to say is that i am camaro fanatic it was nice to know more of 68 movie car as i knew a little bit form looking at imcdb site but did not believe most of there postings so this clears up my doubts on the 68 anyway i got to go see ya later😊.

[@CH3NO2Semonious]

The real car that the one in the movie was based on was a stolen bright yellow almost stock 1968 with a 396 and a four speed. Floyd Mutrux was a regular at my parties back in the day and was familiar with my adventures running from the police for the fun of it. One chase covered three states and part of Mexico. And I wasn't shot, my girlfriend was. But the screenplay is a better story. And our cruising spot was 2nd St in El Cajon but the movie used Van Nuys Blvd a much more scenic location with lots more cruisers than we had.

That 302 didn't have a DZ code if it was a 67 block. Dz was big crank journal blocks cast 68 and 69. A 67 302 still had small journals and was a one year engine technically. They probably gave that car a Dz block and kept the small journal 302 for the money races cause it can spin higher rpm with less weight and friction on the crankshaft. Oh and those 302s where extremely hard to blow up. A new 69 z28 was trying to get a brand new 70 L-T1 dealer engine installed by warranty. 7800 rpm in 2nd gear all dam day in fresno california. Had to just buy the create L-T1 cause they guy could not blow it up

Thank you for your quick reply, I dont suppose that you could research or contact Rick Figari the owner of the Camaro to see if there is a Paint code anywhere on the car?@@CarStarz42

[@JRC99]

So here's what I want to know: The Camaro was in a magazine in I think 1975 and it was red by then. Think it was before the movie. But we see it get painted black. So did they paint it black, film those scenes, and paint it red for the rest before they sold it? Or did they film with it red first, then black, then red _again_

[@CarStarz42]

Not sure in what order, but movie cars do get repainted often; so not surprising 😉

@@CarStarz42 Right, but I was under the impression it was someone's personal build before the movie

[@JRC99]

​@@CarStarz42 Ah, see, I wasn't quite sure if it was _sold_ to the studio or just lended to them. That helps clear it up! It must have had magazine coverage _right_ before then too, because it was in Popular Hot Rodding in 1975 (Might have been '74) I think and there was zero mention of the movie. Car didn't have the black hood or tail panel blackout either if I remember right.
