Secret Ist ever 1967 Camaro built May 1966 Num. N100001

by Wes

This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro carries build number N100001 — the very first unit off Chevrolet’s Norwood, Ohio assembly line. Along the way it was stripped down and turned into a race car, a fate that erased the history of countless early Camaros before it. What saved this one was a single decision: whoever converted it kept the original parts instead of scrapping them, making a true, numbers-matching restoration possible decades later. Watch to see how a factory-first Camaro survived its own history.

Classic Chevrolet Camaro Race Car For Sale, Still Runs Like a Champ

by Kiril

This race-prepped Camaro isn’t just for sale, it’s a rolling piece of the pony car war Chevrolet started on purpose. When reporters asked what ‘Camaro’ meant, Chevy’s famous answer was ‘a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs,’ and the rivalry that followed pushed both brands into a genuine horsepower arms race. Decades later, this car still runs like it has something to prove.

This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro left the factory rated nowhere close to what it’s packing now – a stroked 468-cubic-inch V8 backed by a heavy-duty Turbo 400 automatic, built for both street and track duty. Chevrolet’s actual 1973 lineup topped out at a 245-horsepower Z28, the same year the Super Sport package quietly disappeared for good. Understanding what Chevrolet really built in 1973 makes this stroker build’s numbers land that much harder.

Buick GSX 1970 Convertible

by Kiril

A Buick GSX built during a five-month factory window in 1970 raises a genuine documentation question for its current owners — one that even a close look at the car’s trim and colors can’t fully settle. Its Stage 1 engine option carried an official rating widely considered too conservative for what the car could actually do. Here’s the open question at the center of this particular GSX.

1000 Horsepower 68 Camaro Cruising the Streets of Houston, Texas

by Wes

This 1968 Camaro claims 1000 horsepower with zero turbo, supercharger, or nitrous — just massive displacement, 14:1 compression, and a camshaft aggressive enough to make it idle like it’s fighting itself. Freshly restored and cruising the streets of Houston at roughly 2,950 pounds with the driver, it’s the kind of build commenters say they’ve replayed a thousand times just for the sound. Watch to hear it for yourself.

7 Forgotten Muscle Cars That Was Amazing

by Wes

Car News TV goes looking for the muscle cars everyone forgot, and the list includes a Mustang wagon that left viewers stunned it ever existed, a six-barrel Road Runner that sparked a comments-section correction, and a Studebaker Avanti nobody expected to see. Watch the full rundown and see how many you actually remember.

Chevy small block series-number 8

by Ross Mills

Chevy’s small block saga continues with the M-code 350, famed for powering everything from hefty K-series pickups to motorhomes, boasting a respectable 160 bhp. The L83-350 made ’82 Corvettes roar with its cross-fire fuel injection, though ’83 took a pit stop. Enter the L98, flexing up to 245 bhp by ‘89 with a snazzy rear axle tweak. Not to be outdone, the L05 found its way into everything, from the Suburban to the Hummer H1, until replaced by the LT1’s swan song in ‘96.

Camaro 1969 plus SCCA Racing and the COPO Version

by Ross Mills

For the 1969 model year, the Camaro was the belle of the SCCA Trans Am ball, equipped with Corvette-like stopping power thanks to four-piston calipers. Only 206 of these beauties sported the $500 JL8 option, making them rarer than a unicorn on a racetrack. The Z28 package was a powerhouse, boasting a 302-cubic-inch engine, and the COPO version went rogue with a 427-cubic-inch beast, courtesy of Don Yenko. And let’s not forget the ZL-1, an all-aluminum marvel, crafted with love and 16 hours of labor!

by Wes

A driver takes a 2017 Camaro ZL1 out for their first-ever laps on track, sharing the session with a Ford GT — one of the most exclusive supercars Ford has built in decades. With a supercharged 650-horsepower LT4 V8 and a chassis engineered specifically for road-course work, the ZL1 was built for exactly this moment. Watch how a first-timer handles a car with this much capability.

Camaro Graveyard Rip 1967-1969

by Wes

A salvage yard in Vancouver, Washington holds rows of first-generation 1967-1969 Camaros, stacked and slowly being parted out rather than restored. Some commenters call it Camaro heaven; others insist it’s the opposite. Between debates over the best of the three body styles and stories of cars sold too cheap decades ago, this yard says a lot about what gets saved in the classic car world, and what doesn’t. Watch to see what’s actually still sitting there.

Hemmings 1969 Camaro ZL1 vs 1968 Firebird Ram Air II

by Wes

First published in Hemmings Muscle Machines back in December 2011, this quarter-mile pass pits one of the roughly seventy all-aluminum ZL1 Camaros Chevrolet ever built against a Pontiac Firebird running the airflow-focused Ram Air II. Commenters dig into cam specs, gearing, and a surprising trap speed result that still sparks debate. Watch to see which factory rarity actually crosses the stripe first.

INSANE Street Race Papas Talon vs 417 SBC 69 Nova , 01 Bullitt vs 99 Camaro

by Wes

A stroked 417-cubic-inch small block Nova got jumped off the line by a turbocharged Eagle Talon and had to pedal the throttle just to save the run — and that’s before a second grudge race between a 2001 Mustang Bullitt and a 1999 Camaro even gets underway. Shot from multiple angles down a quiet stretch of road, this is grudge racing at its most detailed. Watch to see how both races actually finished.

A restored 1968 Chevrolet Camaro sitting on a Michigan dealer’s lot shows just 500 miles since a full 2007-2008 restoration – and one of the comments comes from a man who actually drove it across the country on the Hot Rod Power Tour. Between the documented VIN, a folder of receipts, and a real road test from an owner who bought it, this listing addresses nearly every risk buyers usually worry about. Watch to see what made him say yes.

0-60 The 12 Quickest Cars of The 60’s as Tested by Car & Driver

by Pat C

Car and Driver’s own testing crowned the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 the quickest car of the 1960s at 4.3 seconds to sixty, edging out legends like the Hemi Charger and Corvette 427 further down the list. Period testing standards were far looser than today’s, with factory-tuned engines and sticky rubber skewing plenty of these numbers. Still, this list captures exactly how far a handful of cars pushed acceleration in a decade that had no rulebook for it yet.
