Personally I'd pick the orange 67 Camaro from "Eat My Dust" starring little Ronnie Howard.

I wonder if that car is still around someplace.

Smokey and the Bandit? I may be talking out of my *** as I am not real familiar with the terminologies but I figure its a second generation.

Thumbs up

The Better off dead 67 camaro is very cool, and I also like the yellow convertable 69 from that Vegas show. Ive always liked the black 67 from the metallica video, until I saw that it wasnt really in great shape when Hetfield himself was trying to auction it. Other than that I think there was a nice one in dazed and confused, but im not sure, its been a while.

That was a 1979 Z/28 that Sean Penn smashed-up in Fast Times at Ridgemont High if I recall right.

That went for something like $70,000. I think it came with a radio that didnt allow you to play any MEtallica songs unless you personally asked Lars and paid him $5 for each time you played a song.

Throughout most of the CHiPs episodes, you're almost guaranteed to see at least one F-Body, be it Camaro or Firebird, in any of the road scenes. Most I've counted in one random epidode were 15!@

Just a little food for thought

In the movie "Stoned Age", the character named Hanky has an incredibly awesome 1st gen Camaro. Unfortunately, you only get a brief view of it.
