Just out of curiousity guys i was wondering when the first Camaro was built, or what year they started mass producing them. I see the classic tech only goes to 67, so is that the first year the camaro was introduced???

 

Yes, 67 was the first year.

 

wow, yeah 67

 

67 was the start....

 

Nah, Camaros were around before '67.

..............except they were just "concepts" until the fall of '66 .

 

If you want to get super technical, the Camaro never did exist before 1967 because the concept for a Camaro was actually called a "Chaparell" So the Camaro did start in 67

 

The first production '67 Camaro was unveiled to the public in September of 1966.

 

wasn't it called the panther originally. i once found an old mechanics illistrated from april 66 and there was an article about chevys new pony car called the panther . we all know that it was later to be renamed the camaro .

 

Yes it was originally called the Panther. I believe it was June of 66 just 3 months before it hit the showrooms when it was changed to Camaro.
