1967-1968 L30/M20 Camaro. This was a true factory sleeper that hardley anyone noticed was built and is still misunderstood today.

actually only 66 was the L79 really "hot" they built a handful of 67s supposedly but then dropped it in the nova. The L79 lived in the Corvette and Chevelle.
I'm a die hard Chevy guy but in 70 the stage 1 Buicks were quicker.
they really are not because the cars were more powerful than the tire tech at the time. The skinny bias plys and polyglass tire never would have traction.
the ZL-1 engine was all aluminum. It was stuffed into 69 69 Camaros under the COPO program because GM had a ban that stated that no small cars get a motor bigger that 400 CI. The option was a RPO in the Vette but it cost 4,000 bucks in 69. Only 2 vettes were built with the ZL-1.
the 68-69 Nova SS had 396 BIG blocks rated at 375hp. 68s only came with 4 speed stick but Fred Gibb, a hi performance dealer, used the COPO system for 50 L78 (396 ci/375 hp) with the TH400 auto for automatic drag classes.
1966 Chevy Nova L79-
1969 COPO Camaro. Both COPO the iron block and ZL1 versions. The ZL1 motor was designed for Can am racing until Dick Harrell got the idea of having the engine dropped into the bay of a camaro for stock drag racing. Motors were rated at 425hp but were well into the 500hp range. The motors were not even designed for…
Heres a good lesson on shifting. 1967 Z/28 Camaro
The one that stick out in my head was a multiple choice on what to do when a blind person crosses in front if you. Your choices were:
I've seen the Datsun run and other than its quite, not that impressive and when I watched it run they had to change batteries every pass because it used then all up in one pass. I think its dumb and will almost have to be a trailer baby to do anything.
oh they looked really close to a original A from 10 feet but the chassis were very updated with independt front suspension and modern rear end and an automatic transmission. The dash boards were a little different too because they had a gas gauge and the tank mounted in a different location. You don't see many Shays…
this sorta similar to the Shay-Ford model As of the 70s. Shay built brand new original looking Model As with pinto motors and slightly updated suspension. I can't rennet how they exactly got around the bumper regulations, I think it due to quantaties produced, but they sold then through Ford Dealers.
any non make/model specific club. While I am a member of a Camaro Only club, we get along and actually do stuff with mustang clubs, I find clubs that are not specific to a certain brand or model are the nicest because they don't care what you drive. They just like cars and doing fun things with them. Plus with all the…

I agree nothing special and way to raspy. Nothing compares to original muscle cars and their sounds. All the new muscle cars are just too raspy.
that's a steal in that car. The lower series bel airs and biscaynes are harder to find than a impala. They make perfect mild customs with little body mod work to get them sharp. My grandpa built one in the 80s and called it the ugly duckling because my grandma hated it. The 58 is a love it or hate it in the styling…
Any of these love early Indy pace cars.
Would love to see either a redone T/A challenger or AAR Cuda. It would have to have some snuff to compete though. Just like in 70 they are playing catchup.
