1967 Camaro looks better
I beg to differ about your opinion on which has better looks.

What would those folks back in 1969 say if you pulled around the corner in the new Z/28 (or ZL1 for that matter?). They would believe something showed up from Area 51. Just sayin!

There is no question that the new cars are technically better cars than their originals (and by that I don't mean the "high tech" infotainment and other electronic feature stuff at all). But the lines of the older cars have a visually less massive and more graceful appearance. Photoshop that side view picture of the '67 in Post #1 down to where the very point of its hood matches the height of the same point on the new car's hood and this should become even more apparent.

I'm sure all the parts justify the cost, but I can't bring myself to pay that kind of money for a Camaro. Which is fine, because my wallet can't justify spending that much on a car regardless of what it's called.

We did an exercise, awhile ago, where the '69 Vehicle Order Guide was used on an inline-6 Camaro Coupe. NO SS. NO Z/28. NO COPO. Inline-6 Base Coupe. OK?
When you added what features are now standard equipment across the board on all '13 (at that time) Camaros and put them on a '69 6-cylinder Coupe, the '69 price came to $5,800-and-change!!!!! NO IRS/ABS/TC/CD/radial tires/aluminum wheels/crash protection/electronics/ad nauseum! Those features, if available way-back-when, would have been EXTRA! BTW, CPI from '69-forward has that $5800+ 6-cylinder = $37,000+!!! Now add the $4100+ COPO 9560 (ZL1) package (which is pretty damn close to the new Z/28's driveline) and the necessary options to get that package (another $400) and you're now up to $66,000! Still no modern conveniences or Gov't-mandated "necessities". And, believe it or not, Ripley, that's not far from where the '14 Z/28 will be priced... We tend to forget how much "stuff" we get with cars today. Unfortunately, it's NOT "free"...and NEVER was. |
