1972 Chevy Camaro and Corvette Dealership Sales Training Film

- This 1972 Chevrolet promotional film, titled " Camaro and Corvette ", was sent to the Chevrolet car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales and customer training film. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year. If you look up a different film I posted, titled "1974 Chevy Selling Monte Carlo ", you can see a rare glimpse of the film cartridge viewer that was used at the dealership where the customers and personnel were to view these films. The machine was made by Technicolor and called the " Chevrolet Mini Theater System "
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Technicolor Cartridge. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. This film was very red without almost no color left. The extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was converted to MP4 format for uploading to TH-cam.
Watching this puts me in a very peaceful state of mind. I feel like a kid in the '70s again, and that's just fine by me.
me and you both, I grew up in the 70's too
Same same, I feel like I was in that Corvette. The way it moved around corners is inspiring.
Same same same lol. 1970 here. I remember these type of commercials well. Love to be able to take the worlds kids back to that time. Would do them so much good! “ I’d like to buy the world a Coke…”🎶🎵🎼🎧📺📽🎞📞
I could not have said that better.
Same here. I grwe up in the '70s.
I swear this same guy narrated everything in the 70's.
it was his day job
For all those too young to remember; full bumper is Camaro and split bumper is Camaro with Rally Sport package.
The New Style 70 had a Slippery Shape.... smiles
A Camaro was a hot fudge sundae--a Corvette was a Banana Split! A Camaro was a Quarter Pounder---a Corvette was a Big Mac!
This has to be the wrecking crew doing the music and I kind of love it, especially with the wow and flutter. Also can't help but think of "F is for Family" when I watch this.
I’ve owned a 72 for 10 years now and never have I driven it. It’s about time to forget the body work, slap an engine in it and enjoy it for a change.
time to get busy and make things happen. get to work
My mom had a blue 75 Camaro when I was just a toddler. I credit that experience for turning me into a car enthusiast.
very cool. keep the tradition going
The 70 to 73 Camaro had such clean styling. Too bad you see so few unmodified ones today like shown in this footage. In the early 80's I had a 72 standard coupe and a 73 Z28. Rust did them in. Maybe one day I will get another as the nostalgia is strong.
so many of the classics of the day were butchered. it's hard to find one in original condition.
Love the fact the Corvette in video is actually a 1971 since I own a 71. LOL White front turn lamp lenses are a give away. LOL
I have an Ontario Orange 1972 Corvette coupe, so this was awesome to see!
glad to hear you enjoyed the film. I have another Corvette film out being transferred right now. I will post it soon. if you haven't watched it yet check out the 24 hours of Le Mans film I posted. it was made by BF Goodrich. They ran a 73 Corvette on stock Radial TAs in the la Mans race
My Dad had bought a new 1972 green metallic paint white vinyl top and white bench seat 350cubic Olds Cutlass S with a 2 barrel rockchester carb, fast fun great ride . Finally got a 75 Camaro 350 with 2 barrel and except it would "fishtail " just fun to drive even with the automatic 3speed.not even reclining buckets still loved it. GM just made get out and go car. But my 67 Cutlass Supreme 330 four barrel just like a GTO but smooth. Have fun drive a late 60s early 70s US car and know the American way.
these films are bringing back memories, that is why I am uploading them. thanks for watching
Back in the day when muscle cars came with whitewall and white lettered tires!
Yep just like Jim Rockford Firebird with the white walls.
@@ricochetey Yes!!! I would love a Copper Mist /Sierra Gold 1978 Pontiac Firebird Esprit with whitewalls and Rally wheels. just like the one used in the later episodes of The Rockford Files!
I wish I could turn back time to the early 1980s and buy a cream puff used one for next to nothing. I'd actually prefer that over a Smokey & The Bandit Trans Am or any Camaro.
@@reallyrandomrides1296 Yes I wouldn't mind a Gold bird myself. Don't know if I have ever seen one in that color or trim. I've seen plenty of Trans Ams and Camaros even a couple Berlinettas but never an Esprit. I'd also love to go back and buy a couple brand new. My Dad tells me all the time how he went to the dealer in 79' and they had a whole row of brand Firebird Formulas for something like 5-6k. That's must of been a sight.
They used a Firebird Formula in the Rockford Files, but dressed it up like an Esprit.
@@reallyrandomrides1296
In 1986 I bought a '70 Cougar XR7 Cobra Jet and a 68 Firebird 400/4sp for $6,500..... LoL. I still have the Cougar.
I wish I could turn the clock back to those prices too!
Thirty one seconds until first launch. Hats off sir, I thought I held the record.
In 1975 I bought a 1970 straight 6 250 in gold or brown that a housewife had owned sold by her husband. It was my Junior year and another guy had a silver 350. I liked the car with my little engine and did get it up to 114 on the freeway one night. I did go through a few rotors. When I was out of town a girl friend wrecked it in the snow. I think it ended up in Japan I was told.
my brother had a 70. he and dad built a 383 stroker for it. it was quick, and got him a few speeding tickets.
69 Camaro is still my favorite car in the entire world, although a 1970 would be a close second.
Back when gas was cheap and driving was an absolute blast!
As a 2019 Camaro SS owner and kid who grew up just salivating every time Car and Driver or Road and Track reviewed an F-body, thank you for posting this! I loved it.
Thanks for watching and pass on my channel to your car friends
I counted 33 lies they told about the Camaro..that.design looks like ass. The comparable 911 they showed has appreciated beyond the rate of inflation over the years and there are more 911 running today from that year than the Camaro ever though a fraction were ever sold. Go figure
@@eyalbarmitzvah Next you'll be telling us it didn't handle as well as a Porsche or 240Z, LOL.
Throw a vinyl roof on it. I tossed a 1977-1979 C/K10 “Deluxe Two Tone” wrap on my 2010 RCSB Silverado Z71. We I think we need to bring back that look
@@eyalbarmitzvah 1972 was a strike year so not many were made anyway.
My mother had a 71,72, and a 92 Camaro when I was young. I wanted to get a first or second gen....but my grandparents worry too much about my safety, and I don't really like modern cars.....so I made a compromise and bought a 96. I love it, less than 69k miles on it too. The Z28 6 speed convertible.
nice, keep it original
Timeless design.
1972 was one of the last years for performance cars before SMOG laws so detuned them they hardly made any power. The pre 74 Vettes were some of the best looking ones made, always loved the C3, especially when I was a kid. Those years of Camaros were also great, though I preferred the Firebird's styling more. Was never a GM fan (we had a couple GM cars when I was very young, and they both broke down in the worst places, like the toll booth of the Oakland/ San Francisco bridge. But it was always the firebird and corvette that I found so great. When I went into car repair I finally got to work on and drive them, and they didn't disappoint. The camaro chassis at the time was outstanding for it's size, and the vette was a bit of a brute, especially with a 4 speed. GM's truly golden years.
nice stories, I still cross that bridge from time to time. if you were to break down there today, man what a mess. I am going to be posting some firebird films soon. thanks for watching
Last year for the big block option as well
I at one time had owned a '89 RS Camaro great handling Fbody. Would love to find another some day.
Wow. A Camaro will project my personality! Wow! If I were to have one of these cars, I'll "have all the capabilities that the car has." For example, "it's a good car to... drive around in." You can't say that about just any car!
and if you run around with your shirt open you get all the groovy chicks
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 Far out, man!
Amazing to see driver side mirror only , even on the Corvette. You would never see that today. Not to mention hubcaps even on the Corvette as well.
This is a real Corvette my friend. Not like that euro trash mid engined disgrace we have today.
@@TheMrPeteChannel Oh get out of here with that "back in the day" nostalgia nonsense. Every corvette generation was a world class contender and a masterpiece when they first released and the c8 is no different. It's fine to like an older model the best, he'll my favorite is the c5, but pretending the new ones are bad just because they have modern advancements is just silly. The c8 can contend with and beat million dollar sports cars, and provide all the style of one for a tenth of the price. Mid engine isn't just a styling choice, it is in almost every way the superior option for performance in a sports car.
Brings back memories.
I had a 72 Corvette.
Good times.
cool, i am sure you wish you still had it
@@theemulsionalchemist5688
Definitely!
Thank you for posting these, eventually I'm sure I'll watch them all. I've watched alot of the truck vids, seems like long beds were the ticket back then. How times have changed!
I have about 200 of these to digitally transfer and upload. plenty more to come
Love the Camaro and older Vettes.
My college roommate had a 73 Camaro, and I got to drive it occasionally. It really impressed me at the time. Nothing special, small v8 w/an automatic, but it drove beautifully.
Big strike at the Van Nuys, California plant that year cut production nearly in half. I owned a '72 RS/SS 4 speed in high school. I loved that car and still own a '73.
its worth some serious money now
The strike was at Norwood, OH, not Van Nuys and it was in 1972, not 1973. The cars in process on the line when the strike happened in April were 1972 models. By the time the strike was ironed out, those models would not meet 1973 standards and had to be scrapped. That's why 1972 was sometimes called the "lean year" in the F body production realm.
@@googleusergp While you are correct about your Googling the answer of the strike location, I never said the strike was in 1973.
@@CarsandCats I know you didn''t mention the strike year. Just the plant was wrong. Norwood was the main plant for the F body, however later on Van Nuys was used (starting in around 1978) to keep up as the F body was very popular back then.
I love these 2nd gen Camaros. I have a 2020 SS 1LE and it's my favorite car, but having an old 70-73 SS would be the dream.
there are still some out there. keep your dream alive
ah, sweet leaded-gasoline scented memories of yesteryear... 70-72 Camaros are one of my favorites from this era.
1970 was the last year that any GM car ran leaded engines. 71 and later were all unleaded.
Thanks EA. Love all your videos. They always bring a smile to my face... I'm 61, so they're pretty much all in my wheelhouse. And beyond the great vehicles, I love the voiceover guys of the time! All smokers, I'm sure...
thank you, I find these films so fun to watch. sine I have them this is what I do to share. when I can, I do film screenings in my front yard.
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 Well, if you happen to live in San Diego, I'd love to drop by for a screening!
I grew up reading Road & Track constantly. On the back page of their issues for years they listed the Porsche 930T as the fastest production car at 0-60mph in 5.0secs.
Now we have a Kia that'll do 0-60mph in 4.6sec, lol.
How times have changed.
put a tesla motor in that corvette
The Chevrolet Camaro has a strong legacy. Its a Beautiful car, all years, all makes, all models. 🏎🏆. My 2021 is a beautiful machine. The Wild cherry color shines like a ruby when the sun is out. Its fast, powerful, sleek and rides so smoothly. Team CAM4EVER
follow your dreams, fun cars
What a great video. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and had a 1980 V8 Camaro (not the z28) an 85 Trans Am and an 88 GT Mustang. Those cars from the 80s are now sought after like these cars of the 60s were when I was a kid. Cool stuff
thanks for watching more films to come
Awesome - I’ll sub for that! Amazing to see those R&T guys and legendary names praising the ‘72 Camaro! I’m was 8 so can slightly remember this era.
thanks for watching, glad you liked it
At nineteen years of age,,, Mine was a 1972 402 four speed SS, badged 396... So much power for a man of my age . Its too bad the gas was changed and you could not get the Sonoco 260 after 1974
I posted this in the NastyZ28 FB Group. Looks like your views increased accordingly today. Thanks for the video!
Awesome !!!!!!, thanks for sharing. I have about 200 of these films to upload. It's going to take a while before I can get them all digitally transferred
My father had the same green Camaro with a full front bumper as seen here, back in 1974 (it was a 1970 model) and we enjoyed every minute of driving it everywhere for about ten years. Then it was falling apart with rust (no rustproofing back in those days).
cars weren't designed to last more than 10 years back then
My first Camaro was a 1967 327 sport coupe, I was 18 . My second was the 402 72 SS. My third was the 350 81 Z28
I will take 72 SS please with a cherry on top
bologny series bias plys on the Camaro sheeeeeeeeeeesh and those Corvette hub caps sheeeeeeeeeeeesh - but, I love both these cars ! GOD Bless
that was the style back then
If I'm not mistaken the camaro/firebird was one of the best handling chassis of the late 70s muscle cars. James Garner really liked the Firebird for stunts as he did them all himself, he said it could be thrown around corners nicely.
They were built tough. Cool to know about Garner
yes, they handled much better than Ford LTD's and Caprices
Garner used the 1974 Firebird Esprit for the 1st season of The Rockford Files and Mannix used a 1974 Camaro for the final season of Mannix.
Garner moved up to Formula 400 Firebirds dressed up as Esprit's just so he could get thee more powerful engines and handling suspension that the Formula had available by 1975 through 1978 models.
@@errorsofmodernism9715 Yep I have a 77 cougar XR7 (same chassis as the LTD II)there was actually one seen in a Rockford episode a blue 4 door. Great driving and riding car just not much for handling or performance.
@@emeyer6963 Awesome, Mannix was a great show. He had a few nice muscle cars in that show.
That was great, can't wait to see more. New subscriber.
many more to come, thanks for subscribing
Watching these camaros in all their un- molested glory really gives the viewer a look at the real intention of our beloved F bodies. These were not horsey ,clunky ,strait line muscle cars as todays youth believes. Makes me wish Camaro returned to Its sleek Euro glory days.
beautiful cars, lots of style, if only the bucket seats were decent
The only thing I dislike is the skinny tires they put on the cars. Not much grip, especially if they’re the old polyglas tires. They were notorious for blowouts and rubber peeling off. Still, I like these cars, very nice body styles and engines that could put out a lot of horsepower and torque.
I knew the Camaro guy was going to throw a cigarette down…
Showing off his manhood
Hard to imagine I was a newborn baby in 72 and now my life is already half over. Where does the time go?
I was a sophomore in hs.
I feel the same way, heck I am now a grandparent
It's funny how they keep showing the Camaro next to the Jag, then 5 years later Jaguar bring out the xjs, which reminds me a lot of this style Camaro...
GM was comparing everything, coming up soon I have a Pontiac Grand Am film comparing it to jaguar and Mercedes
I'm on my 2nd Camaro. 17' Super Sport Camaro with 6 speed manual trans. The most phastest and phunnest car I have owned so far, and I have owned 60s era muscle.
😁👍
the Camaro has gone full circle once again. have you driven one of the new 4-cylinder Camaro's? I guess it's made for the commuter
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 Back in the day, the low end models were called "secretary cars." A lot of people just liked the styling, so they got the smaller, cheaper engines and focused more on colors and creature comforts like A/C, power windows and such. They weren't fast, but they looked cool. Of course today, the modern 4 cylinder has 275 hp, so it's fast enough for the daily commute.
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 nO...had to be the V8 and stick. I couldn't tolerate the sound of a 4 banger.
Tesla will have a vintage commercial one day. And it will look as funny as this.
The guy at 1:47 is totally Vic from F is for Family.
Thatt yellow porche nice
Damn! After watching this I don't know if I want to buy a camaro or sell one.
you now have the inside information
Love the green one
when I think of green I think of British cars
At 1:16 Looks like the 1971 silver, 4 speed Mach 1 I had in 1974. I never seen this commercial before now.
this isn't a commercial. it's a dealership promotional film. they would have a projector in the waiting room at the dealership and these films were inside a cartridge. the system was made by technicolor. they kind of looked like a giant 8track player
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 I remember it being a standalone machine similar to a tv. The cartridges were transparent blue.
I sold our machine along with all the cartridges when we closed in 2005. In retrospect, I probably should have kept it. Still worked like a champ!
This makes me want to buy a new 72 Camaro. Unfortunately that's 50 years too late.
why too late? just buy a restored one. almost new
I'm sure Porsche, Ford and Mercedes just loved this video! 😉 Fast forward to today, the Camaro is still worthy of respect, but the C8 Corvette has all the supercar manufacturers scratching their heads asking themselves "How'd GM do that!?" 🤣 It's taken GM awhile to catch up if you will, with the mid-engine design, but better late than never. Save the Wave 👋 all you Vette and Camaro guys and as sung by Dinah Shore back in the day, "See the USA in your Chevrolet."
That C8 spits on years of tradition. The Corvette didn't have to go mid engine.
You are totally wrong. GM absolutely had to go mid-engine. We won't even discuss the topic of "tradition" and the cost of maintaining tradition, whether it's trains, plains, automobiles, or family life, but the C7 was absolutely maxed out as to being the "perfectly" balanced road car. Research it. It was always presumed the perfectly balanced car would be a 50/50 weight split. That was/is not true. Only a mid-engined car fits the bill. GM still makes a "traditional" road car that's fun to drive. Just buy yourself a Camaro. But remember, the Corvette was America's true Sports Car and remains America's only Sports Car. THAT is tradition!
Well said! I will be posting a Grand Am VS Mercedes and Jaguar film once it is transferred
Thank you. Looking forward to your next posting for sure. The content of your channel makes it very unique. Keep it coming.
i miss my '73 Camaro i'm so stupid for selling it, out of my price range now to get another
start filling a jar with cash, when a deal comes, jump
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 jump out a window?
1:09 , 1:41 , 2:13 Same orange Porshe. 0:57 , 1:23 , 2:11 , 4:11 Same white Jaguar
I would they also have guest appearances in other films too
It’s hilarious to look back at them talk about the car’s “wide” tires which were actually skinny, tall sidewall 70 series. And boasting about the brakes as the tires lock up with a cloud of smoke. Bet those tires ended up ruined with goat doors. Such a different time and expectations. I love the nostalgia of classic muscle cars but by today’s standards they were barely beyond a horseless carriage.
glad you enjoyed watching, more of these to come
Good thing the only soundtrack is the narration. At about 3:50 it's pretty obvious that cowboy is yelling, "Slow down a--hole!!"
I am sure he was
Lots of those Camaros got turned into street stock and hobby stock race cars over the last 35 years
many lost to the racing world.
I never owned one, so I'm not sure these cars were crap, but especially on a car prepped for a promotional video, shouldn't the hood, fender, and front end cap line up (1:49)?
definitely. some of the cars weren't ready for production when these films were made
😍!
I like how GM puts a 911 in the shots. A 72 Camaro is basically worthless now and a 72 911 can fetch over 100k. Try pricing a RS 911.
A '72 Camaro in good condition is far from worthless. The average sale price on them right now is ~$30,000, with clean examples going for $45,000-$50,000 or more. On Autotrader Classic, the cheapest one you can get is $35,000. Not $100K, but not exactly worthless either.
split bumper looked way better
nice detail
At 1:49 this looks like a shot out of the opening credit of a 70s porno.
sex sells, lots of skin exposure in these films
Had a 1970 1/2 Camaro (strike delayed production hence the 1/2) and 1974 Trans Am. Both were great cars but you can watch them rust by the minute. While many 70's Camaro and Firebirds were wrecked, I think most rotted out.
Please fix your spelling of Camaro. Sorry a pet peeve of mine .
Miss my 73 Z28 and Transam now I have a 66 corvette
66 was a good year. don't ever let it go
No never
No never
No never
camaro.my memory run to old bumble bee.corvette or vette.you all can lol etc.but i saw on american pickers show.rear split window are even rare type.hope right.
Odds are at one point and time every Camaro in this video sold for $500 or less in the used market (especially during the mid to late 70's energy crisis & the early to mid 80's when nobody wanted them because they wanted a 67 68 69)
maybe correct. by the 90's they were all falling apart
Ok, now wait a minute lol I had a '79 Z28 (same gen, same chassis), and it was not a sports car, not even close. True, it did have quick ratio steering and minimal body roll, but it still felt like an overweight pig in the corners. But I did mod mine, and at least it was fast in a straight line. True fact that many people don't know; the second-gen Camaro when equipped with auto trans (even with a 6 cylinder) came stock with a factory slap shifter.
Bu 1979 everything made in America was gutless. Smog control killed everything until electronic fuel injection replaced all the carburetors.By the early 1980’s you could get a Camaro with a 4 cylinder , just like the new ones.
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 True, but I modded mine---13's in the quarter
A family friend had a new 78' Z28. .. i just got my driver's license then so I got to drive it down the street. I barely touched the accelerater and it burned rubber ! Wasn't used to that power as I had been driving moms old buick. Great car the 78 ' Z28👍
I owned a '72 RS/SS 4 speed and it handled a LOT better than the new '81 Z28 I test drove. They felt like completely different cars. I think the '81 weighed about 400lbs more.
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 2.5 Iron Duke with 90 horsepower.Standard on the 1982 Camaro.We have comee a long way since then.Thanks for the videos.Nice to be able to go back into history
Nice fun car for its day...but awards from car magazines are dubious at best, especially from Motor Trend. Advertising dollars roll in when awards are granted.
Money talks
Wasn't it C&D who compared the two GTO's?
Yeah, they're basically the same thing. LoL
Yep, the Vega was Car & Driver’s car of the year for three straight years.
Geez, and I thought Motor Trend reviews were bought and paid for. Camaros of this era had great looks and affordable pricing, but to say they handled like a Porsche and were quality built was really stretching it. Like the Mustang, it was a GT (grand touring) car, not a sports car.
Well said! defiantly different animals
No mention of the Z28 Camero or big block Corvettes...sigh
Not as much on the Corvette as I would have liked to see. I have one that is out being digitally transferred that is about 10 minutes long titled "Selling Corvette". Hope to get it back soon so I can post it.
They talk about this model like it is new. It was a year and a half old by then. Just thought that was odd
not much changed, retooling was expensive and too much time to do it every year
I had the 1970, gold with white top. The round tail light lights were a tell for the 70. I thought the 1972 were rectangle.
nice, I bet you wish you still had it
Nope. 70-73 were the same. Four round lamps. Best looking bum of all the 2nd gens. Are you thinking of the 'Cuda maybe?
THE ELMUTION ALCHEMISTS....I WILL LIKE TO SEE A VIDEO ABOUT THE 1971 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO SS
I wish I had that one. I am constantly expanding my collection and if I find it then I will get up on my channel. thanks for watching
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 THANK YOU & BLESSINGS
LOL! I like how they keep highlighting it next to its competitors Jaguar and Porsche. The Jaguar is a piece of poop not even close to the Porsche but Okay I see the efforts of those times. Corvette is still a fine little machine. Yeah the Camaro does not get enough praise for its performance for its day!!
never been a fan of either, I can't stand driving a Porsche. I hate the clutch feels
Not one mention of horsepower
my Kawasaki had the same horsepower and a sixth the weight
In '72, they were net hp ratings only, which were far down from the gross hp of the previous years, plus they had dropped compression as everything in Chevrolet's line had to be able to burn low-lead gasoline, the precursor to unleaded gas, per Ed Cole's mandate for environmental changes.
LOLOL the guy showing up to go scuba diving in His Camaro LOLOLOLOL.
This is old and I’m young. WHERE’S MY TIK TOK!?!?
I don't know, let me ask my grandkids for some help
I think I prefer my reliable old H. Civic.
Some people are insane I guess.
Camaro and Corvette taillights were identical then, but no one bitched about them then, like today?????
no comparison today
My First Car was a 1967 Camaro SS, Joggers stole it while I was working @ Sears in OKC. 1973 I found out there Very to steal.
I thought this was going to tell the salesmen what to say to people when selling these cars....like how many hours of testing they did when designing these cars and once you get a possible buyer inside the car simply sniff and and say "you smell that? That's the smell of of freedom. You and all 200 horses going down an open highway without worrying about breaking down because you're in a state of the art engineered machine designed by the best in the world that will go faster then 90% all production card sold this year..." come on Chevy who's in charge of sales in 72? Psht unreal
if the sales pitch works, use it
I about died laughing when the voice over boasted about the Corvette being a “limited production package” and then stating that Chevrolet “only produced about 22,000 Corvettes in the 1971 model year in order to preserve the image and prestige”. What a total load of BS! 🤣🤣. I guarantee you Chevy was building as many ‘Vettes as they could possibly sell. You gotta love those marketing people! The truth is that Corvette sales had dropped by almost 50% since the the cars high point in 1969. Interestingly C3 sales actually increased after after 1971 into the mid to late 70’s despite a huge drop off in performance due to EPA regulations.
That was some special miss advertisement for sure.
it's the American way. make what you have sound like it's the greatest thing on earth
Funny how they show the Camaro blowing the doors of the 911 carrera.....that's a stretch.
in a straight line yes, around those turns, not a chance
Loved the comparison with garbage quality Jaguar !!
GM sadly not much better
the electrical systems were better
The things I would do or give (no, I'm not doin' NONE of that mess, nor can you have ANY of those things either...CREEP!😱🙅🏿😵🕵🏾) to obtain the groovy soundtracks playing in the background from about '68-'81 IN EACH OF THE SESSIONS IN ITS FULLY RECORDED ENTIRETY!!!! Then, & ONLY then will I be appropriately allowed to ride around as the gentleman who favored John Schneider was, with the matching 2-piece set of dungarees without a shirt...
Sooooo.... if the Camaro passed the Jag and the Porsche on the road, how did those guys still arrive at the destination first?
the driver had to stop to talk to all the chicks at the beach first
I felt my testosterone level rise just by watching this video.
don't get too excited, all the people in the film are all really old now
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 LOL I feel that. I was born in 76!
did it seem the Camaro handled alot better and had less lean, then the Vet?
they could have done better with a little larger sway bars
اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على عبدك ورسولك محمدﷺ
$5000 would buy you a loaded Corvette
I'll take 10 please...5 red and 5 black.
how about one of every color
Camaro exist only because of the Ford Mustang, something to think about.......
The last good year for cars & engines before HP was cut lowering compression & emission controls. That vette IRS was trouble.
That's actually wrong, compression was lowered in 1971. 1972 engines were the same, they just went from gross to net HP ratings. And the IRS in my '72 has never given me an issue in over 30 years.
