The Chevrolet Camaro is a sports car produced by the American manufacturer Chevrolet GM. It is classified as a pony car and in some versions also as a muscle car. The Camaro emerged as General Motors' response to its most worthy rival during this time: the Ford Mustang.

In the era of the "pony cars", Chevrolet introduced this model in two versions: the Camaro Rally Sport (RS) and the Camaro Super Sport (SS). The latter had a 5.7-liter V8, and another optional 6.5-liter engine with 396 plgs³, were made for the American customer class passionate about speed, with the idea of "running in the summer and saving it in the winter ", since it was manufactured in convertible version as in coupe.

This tradition never continued despite the great decline in the mid-1970s, with the rise in fuel prices. This model became famous in the Trans-Am and National Hot Rod Association races.

The Camaro was first shown in a pre-premiere for the press in Detroit, Michigan, on September 12, 1966, and later in Los Angeles, California. The Camaro was officially on sale at dealerships on September 29, 1966. It was introduced as the model of the year in 1967, sharing the design of the front / semi-monocoque frame with the 1968 Chevy Nova. Almost 85 options were available. Factory and 40 dealership options, including three main packages.

The RS (Rally-Sport) is a sportier-looking package that included hidden headlights, modified taillights, RS emblems, and low chrome side trim, and was available on all models.

The SS offered non-functional air intakes on the hood, special side stripes and SS badges on the grill, front fenders, gas cap and horn button. It was possible to ask both the SS and RS to receive a Camaro RS / SS. In 1967, a convertible Camaro RS / SS with a 396 engine set the pace of the Indianapolis 500-mile race.

The Z / 28 option required front disc brakes and a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. The Z / 28 offered a V8 of 302 cubic inches (4.9 L) of small block, 3 "crankshaft with 4" diameter, an aluminum intake manifold, and a quad-carburetor Holley 780 CFM body with secondary by empty
