Camaro Faqs

There are at least four generations of Camaro vehicles. The ”Third Generation” Camaro vehicles began in the year 1982 and did not end till 1992. The first ”Third Generation” vehicle was the F-car. The Third Generation Camaros were manufactured in Norwood Ohio (’82-’87) and in Van Nuys California (’82-’92) and resulted in a production run of over 800,000 cars.

The “Third Generation” of the Chevrolet Camaro F-car was introduced in 1982 and had a production run which lasted an entire decade to 1992. The “Third Gen Camaro” went through various trim, facia, suspension and wheel changes as well as engine options. All were of a steel unibody, hatchback design. Various models included the Berlinetta, RS (Rally Sport), Z28 and IROC. If it wasn’t for it’s ubiquity, it would have been more of a head turner, with it’s aerodynamic, Italian supercar inspired lines.

These days, custom Camaros are a dime-a-dozen. Since the fall of Chevrolet’s famed F-body in 2002, Camaro fanatics and musclecar builders have been taking more classic first-gen Camaros and turning them into works of art. Consider how the only “new” Camaros being built these days are coming from Dynacorn.

East Coast to West Coast, North to South, custom builders have been playing an endless game of hardball to see who could create the most eye popping F-body to hit the streets. With the debut of the concept Camaro in 2006, the game of who could build the hottest Camaro seemed ready for extra innings, until GM sent this ‘69 to the plate.

Hot rods, musclecars, or any street cars must be driven to be truly enjoyed and appreciated. However, a dilapidated interior with thrashed threads, holes in the carpet, and a duct-taped glovebox door isn’t the path to maximum cruise-in prestige. While the go-fast crowd may think a sardine can-tinned interior is race-car cool, a well-appointed cockpit that’s quiet, tasteful, and comfortable will be an all-around pleasure to drive.

That was the goal for the inside moves on this ‘67 RS Camaro. The interior was complete but beyond saving. Not only that, but since the Camaro had been sitting outside for 10 years, it had become a very fancy mouse motel. Needless to say, it was time for a complete interior restoration.
