Description
By: Jim Schild .
The Camaro was introduced in 1967 as Chevrolet's contribution to the pony car wars of the late 1960s. Stylish, compact, and powerful, it was an instant hit. But by 1970, Chevrolet's hot-selling sport coupe was in need of a facelift. The result arrived late in the 1970 model year to widespread acclaim. Redesigned and reworked again and again to meet changing emission regulations, safety standards, and manufacturing conditions, these second-generation Camaros present special challenges to today's collectors and restorers.
This book provides expert, detailed, and complete information on every Camaro model produced between 1970 and 1981. Noted author Jim Schild identifies all the correct parts, finishes, options, and trim pieces for each of these second-generation models and covers the full range of engine options. Z28, Super Sport, Rally Sport, Type LT, and Berlinetta packages are thoroughly covered. Illustrated throughout with photographs of beautifully maintained originals and accurate restorations, it is a book that no owner, restorer, or admirer of these classic muscle cars can do without.
The goal of any automotive restoration is to bring the car back to its original "off the assembly line" condition. But making sure that every part, sticker, and color is correct usually requires a great deal of effort and individual research. Thankfully, the Collector's Originality Guide series does much of the research for you, combining information from manufacturers' parts manuals, sales brochures, catalogs, and many other sources into an organized, easy-to-use format.
Chevrolet Camaro 1970-1981 covers every second- generation Camaro model, providing thorough information on standard equipment, individual options, and option packages— including the Z28, Type LT, Super Sport, Rally Sport, and Berlinetta packages. Each significant redesign is noted in detail with descriptive text and clear, full-color photos. Interior and exterior color options and codes are also included. This is the book that second-generation Camaro enthusiasts have been waiting for—it will soon be the book they can't live without!
