FYI from Chevelles.com:

Sorry guys, had to take the images off the internet. Hopefully, you will all know why eventually.

If anyone posted pics of my work ANYWHERE, PLEASE take them off, it's not a legal issue, just take them off, please. Thank you all soooooo much for getting my name and my work out there, I think it's going to pay off finally.

Take care and happy new year!

Well, I could race you... but why would I waste half a tank of gas just to say "I told you so?"

To me the 1st gen is the meanest and most aggressive looking Camaro of them all and I would love to be able to own a new Camaro recapturing the spirit of that design. I would not go as far to say that the 1st gen design is timeless, but I've rarely heard anyone say they didn't like that design, whereas, the 2nd, 3rd and especially the 4th have garnered their fair share of criticism.

Also, I would love to own a 1st gen if I had the cash available to buy a clean one, if it had a warranty, if I had the time and money to maintain it, if it had the safety features required to feel comfortable driving my wife and kids around. I want a Camaro for a daily driver and a 69 Camaro won't cut it.

I love these new pics...I think it really combines old and new. With that front end, no one will mistake the car for anything else but Camaro!
Every car has it critics even the 1st Gen. I've heard people say they didn't like them before. But you gotta realize that most younger people that want Camaros (that is where the market really is, this is who to go after if they want sales again, like the way M*****gs have) aren't gonna want a car that looks like that unless they can say "yeah that a 67!!" to justify the way back styling. Its just not the same as owning the real thing.

But see, a car like this: http://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/atta...postid=1071132[/url] (It'd be great if it was a Z28 though) I could like because it has a combination of obvious 1st and Third Gen (2 best to me, Third more) influences, although it has kinda 4th Gen-like doors. IMO the car could use wheel well/fender flares. If it had a spoiler and the parking lights weren't cut into the fender it would look even better IMO.

1st Gen cues: Practically most of the body. Front bumper, quarter panel, quarter window, (I could do without that) mirrors, (It could benefit from more Third Gen-like mirrors) and hood louvers.

Third Gen cues: Shape of the headlight area, shape of the hood louvers, IROC looking rims, top of the car/T-Tops, hidden windshield wipers, long hood, the cars length and low stance, the lower body GFX look, wide tires and rims.

You gotta have cues, all Camaros always do in some way, (some more than others) but you gotta blend it with some new. The new M*****g obviously doesn't want to do this and IMO thats a mistake.

I give the guy A LOT of credit for hard work, and I'm not saying it looks bad...


But, man, let's just run all the old cars through the Xerox Machine and see what comes out...

Damn, I mist it I had a 1st gen for years, and if they did it right I would buy it. I am hoping they go this route. I'm already saving my money. I find it funny that he pulled the pics, any one else, think this smells fishy?

The magazine wouldnt want it on the net while that issue is out because they want people to buy the magazine to buy it. And it was tight.
