Arrow NEWS: Back to the Future: 1969 Danz Camaro concept goes the wrong direction

Filed under: Classics, Coupe, Performance, Chevrolet, Design/Style


1969 Danz Camaro concept - Click above for high-res image gallery

There's really nothing wrong with the first-generation Chevy Camaro, except perhaps for the fact that rows upon rows of them can be seen at every single car show in America. In fact, so ubiquitous is the 1969 model that there are a couple of aftermarket companies willing to build you a brand new example from the ground up utilizing just about zero OEM bits or pieces.

This being the case, it's hardly surprising that this is the model year The General chose to mimic with its new fifth-gen Camaro for 2010. But what would happen if you could somehow jump to-and-fro through the time/space continuum in your Mr. Fusion-equipped DeLorean time machine and transport yourself back to '69 with visions of the 2010 model in your head?

Answering that question-that-nobody-asked is the 1969 Danz Camaro SS concept car, which you can see in the high-res image gallery below. Words cannot describe the initial reaction we had when opening this sucker up in our browsers for the first time, so we'll just say that we hope its creator kept the original pieces in the garage when it comes time to sell. Yikes!

Isn't that one of the cars that battled it out with Max in The Road Warrior?

And actually, I didn't think it was that bad till I saw the rear...geez, that makes the rear end of a 2010 Mustang look good....

That could have been made to look good, but it just isn't. The front looks like a swollen face with a massive under bite, and the rear looks like a sagging, dirty diaper.

Someone should be in jail...



It be a little less offensive, if say... someone had taken a Ferrari, and tried to make a wheel barrel out of it...

Someone sniffed too much modeling glue in grade school.

GAWD... At least they got rid of the stupid blinged out gold bow tie on the front like the factory should have done, but other than that,

The only styling element I like is the rocker panel / lower door area. It looks good on the car. The rest... should have been toned down 10x's....
