1967 CHEVROLET CAMARO 350 SS FISHER-BODY | FOR SALE

And here it is: my absolute all-time favorite car: a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro 350 SS. And this black beauty is parked near Salzburg, Austria. It is for Sale at “BIDaCLASSIC” and features everything a Camaro aficionado heart beats for. The Cam was Frame-Off restored in 2014 and comes from Florida. A valuation from 2016 mounts up to about 66.000 Euros – wow … but kilometer reading after the restoration is just about 1.700 km and everything works perfect. And the optic of this Cam is so fuckin’ awesome – a dream in black. For details please check BIDaCLASSIC‘s site.

50 YEARS CHEVY CAMARO | SIX GENERATIONS COMPETITION WITH THAT MUSTANG

As a constant reader of LTG blog you might know that I am a great CAMARO fan. My own I drive a 5th gen Cam in „bright orange“ – and I love this car so much from the first day on I got it 4 years ago! The history of the CAMARO started 1966, 2 years later than this mustang was introduced, but with the same concept: “long hood, short deck”. Since this there is a fight between this 2 cars for the domination of this so called “PONY CARS”. In 2017 the CAMARO celebrates its 50th birthday. Check the six generations below … pics | GENERAL MOTORS | Auto Motor Sport

THE 149,900 BUCKS 1969 CR1 CHEVY CAMARO

As a passionated CAMARO lover I got touched so much by this news. It sounds quite simple what CR SUPERCARS® does, but it is so amazing and much more than just putting some high-tech stuff to an older car. NO – CR SUPERCARS® never loose the responsibility for the classic and heritage look and philosophie of the original they work with: „CR Supercars is a new division of Classic Recreations and is dedicated to building turn-key supercars with styling from classic American muscle cars mated to the latest high-tech engine and chassis components. The result is an incredible pro touring car with desirable lines of the most classic muscle car in history.” Right now they presented their 1969 CAMARO project “CR1” @ SEMA. The look of the blue „recreated“ CAMARO is damn nice but you can choose between 7 colors. My favorite? No discussion: orange. You can upgrade this beast with a LS9 GM Performance to 685 H.P! There are a lot of specs which make your Chevy or Muscle Car heart beat so fast … the price also, but I am sure the money is better invested in a CR1 CAMARO than in so many todays soulless f***ing expensive sportcars which look so similar … pics | www.crsupercars.com
