seated 374 passengers and weighed 300 tons. That very same year
Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. During
one of the most influential years in American history this 1968
Chevrolet Camaro rolled off the assembly line. Since then She has
been upgraded to an SS tribute Camaro. Starting with: Beautiful

custom wheels, grant steering wheel, aftermarket gauges for the

trans, power steering, dual exhaust with headers, and upgraded
front suspension. The first-generation Camaro debuted in September
1966, for the 1967 model year, up to 1969 on a new rear-wheel drive
GM F-body platform and was available as a two door coup� or
convertible with 2+2 seating, and a choice of 230 CID, 250 CID
inline-6 or 302 CID, 307 CID, 327 CID, 350 CID, and 396 CID V8
powerplants. Concerned with the runaway success of the Ford
Mustang, Chevrolet executives realized that their compact sporty
car, the Corvair, would not be able to generate the sales volume of
the Mustang due to its rear-engine design, as well as declining
sales, partly due to the negative publicity from Ralph Nader's
book, Unsafe at Any Speed. Therefore, the Camaro was touted as
having the same conventional rear-drive, front-engine configuration
as the Mustang and Chevy II Nova. In addition, the Camaro was
designed to fit a variety of power plants in the engine bay. The
first-generation offered a standard, Super Sport, and Rally Sport
editions. In 1967, the Z/28 model was added featuring stripes on
the hood and trunk, styled rally road wheels, and a 302 CID V8
engine. To view the car in greater detail, including an HD video
