For creation Camaro, engineers of Chevrolet took for a basis of the chassis of compact model Nova and have equipped with its body in fashionable style - with a long cowl and the truncated luggage carrier. For a new youth car have offered checked up by time "six" and new V8 in volume of 350 cubic inches, AKKP with three steps and 4 or 5-speed "mechanics". Package RS introduced only cosmetic changes: the black lattice hiding headlights, the changed back lanterns, the changed salon and shields «RS». For enthusiasts package SS which already in base offered 350-cyb engine V8 capacity of 295 h.p. has been presented updatings SS-396 with 396-kubovym the motor capacity of 325 and 375 forces Were accessible. Outwardly the car differed the special strip banding a nose, false air inlets on a cowl and a black lattice. Both packages could be ordered together and then version RS/SS Camaro turned out. Popularity to the car was added by participation in race Indianapolis 500 as the judicial car.
In 1968 Camaro has changed a little: the lattice of a radiator drowned in a body and a headlight, slightly changed plasticity of boards and new breed of an upholstery of seats. Version SS-396 had chromeplated elements on a cowl, and SS-350 and at all remained last year's. New 350-strong engine V8 in volume of 396 cubes became accessible to SS-versions, and Z/28 now were completed shields «z/28». In 1969 year the model has been again slightly redesigned, has received "brawny" sides, longer back headlights, many panels including in salon, have been replaced. Updating z/28 on the former was completed 302-kubovym with the engine. Version SS was completed with 350th block capacity of 300 h.p. but as were 396 engines capacity from 325 to 375 h.p. More powerful Camaro are accessible it is possible was to get at dealers of Chevrolet. Don Jenko and its firm Yenko Sports Cars was the leader in installation "big blocks" in compact "ponies-penalties", certainly. Yenko ordered the motor in volume of 427 cubic inches and established it in the car. Then changed a capacity rating for more realistic of 450 h.p., added to a car 15-inch disks, a skeleton of safety and shields «sYc» - a company abbreviation.
In spite of the fact that sceptics spoke about disappearance Pony and Muscle Cars and as decline of manufacture and low sales, Chevrolet nevertheless has dared to present updated Camaro. The big money resources have gone on creation of the new "Europeanized" shape of the car which has appeared so successful and popular that has existed till 1982. Henk Haga and Lerri of the Synod who has developed well-known Corvette Marko Shark were engaged in design of a body. For giving of individuality the car has received only two headlights, instead of four as was then it is accepted. The model still was based on chassis Nova, but has been extended on 2 inches and has received doors more long on 5 inches, than at model of the first generation. New Camaro it was accessible only in a compartment body, the cabriolet of the second generation officially wasn't offered. Base was the six-cylinder engine in volume of 250 cubic inches, only 155 h.p. of Updating SS continued to complete with capacity 350 and 396 blocks. In 1971 year design Camaro hasn't changed, but as GM has published the decree that all engines of the company should work on unleaded fuel compression degree should be reduced.
In 1972 year laws, including concern GM have become tougher. More than 1000 copies Camaro were late at factory in Ohio, as safety not corresponding to new standards. Design besides practically didn't change - the lattice of the radiator which has received 7 vertical laths instead of previous 12 has changed. The big news in 1973 year was that version SS any more wasn't offered and wasn't made. As 396 blocks in volume 402 cubes have disappeared. Updating Z/28 had 245-strong V8 volume of 350 cubic inches. In 1974 year Camaro restyled because of the governmental law on strong bumpers. The car has got thick aluminum bumpers. In 1975 year of Chevrolet has ceased to let out updatings Z/28 as capacity of engines promptly decreased, and its existence was senseless. Further every year there were little changes in design, then in 1977 year there was again updating Z/28 with 350-kubovym engine V8 capacity of 185 forces. Sales grew every year as competitors doesn't remain. The second generation has existed till 1982 year when the third has been presented, different by new angular design.
