The Chevrolet Camaro Chevy was more than the answer to the Ford Mustang.The Chevrolet Camaro is a "pony car" made in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors. It was introduced on September 26, 1966 as a model year 1967 and was designed as a model to competitors Ford Mustang. The car shared the platform and the main components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced in 1967. Four generations of different vehicle occurred before production ended in 2002.

Concerned with the great success of the Ford Mustang,Chevrolet executives realized that its compact sports car, the Corvair, would not be able to generate the sales volume of the Mustang because of its radical design of the rear engine and the decline in sales, partly due to the bad publicity from the book by Ralph Nader, insecure ny speed. Therefore, the Camaro is promoted as having the same rear of the unit conventional front-engined configuration and Chevy as Mustang II. In addition, the Camaro was designed to accommodate a variety of power plants in the engine bay. The first generation Camaro will last until model year 1969 and eventually inspire the design of the new fifth-generation Camaro retro.

Biannual brought an SS 350 with an edition of 295-horsepower V-8 and "bumblebee striping nose. Meanwhile, a Rally Sport (RS) package offered style headlamps hidden.
Despite promoting Camaro oriented man as machine, especially with a hot V-8 under the hood, one in four buyers is a woman. A long list of accessories and options allow customers to customize the car. Covers of vinyl roofs were optional in coupes.
The first year of the total production of 220917 vehicles (162109 engine with a V-8). That was less than half of total Mustang, but all the other five lines of cars Honda saw decreased production.
