Chevrolet introduced the Camaro in 1966 as a direct competitor to the Ford Mustang. It quickly became an icon of the muscle car era thanks to its bold styling, powerful V8 engines and wide range of performance options. The first-generation Camaro, built from 1967 to 1969, remains one of the most collectible American classics. Known for its balanced proportions and strong aftermarket support, it has long been a favorite among enthusiasts for both restoration and modification projects. Driving a first-generation Camaro delivers a blend of raw performance and nostalgic charm, while offering a strong link to the golden age of American motoring.
