Looking at these pictures makes the front look like the Family truckster. It has one set of lights and a grill above another set of lights and a grill. If the front fascia isn't chunky enough, it has a damn air dam to really chunkify it.
It's like the ice cream cone cereal. I liked the idea, but the finished product left something to be desired. #pontiactransam
@Muscles Marinara: Amen. Compared to the image you posted, the SEMA car looks a little grotesque, what with the proportions all wrong and the clumsy construction.
Ref QOTD thread. The only car of my birth year I want is my mom's '68 Camaro Convertible. When anyone says the word 'car' the image of that car, red, ragtop, slushbox, replaced 327, cartoon drawing of Broom Hilda on the hood, and rear windows that won't go down (went down the road like a couple of shark fins), is what pops into my head. I'm sure psychologists have a term for that association, other than Oedipus-complex-for-a-car. #1967
That's so nice. Unlike other people here who apparently see several of these a day, I can't remember when I saw a snow white drop-top. White really sets off the contours/lines. Understated beauty. #1967
I know I am completely alone here, but I'm tired of Camaros. They as boring as the Mustang, or Camry, or Corolla. Probably because they're as common as the two latter.
Give me something I don't see every damn day. #1967
@Novaload: I can count on it. Not just '67 Camaros. Any year, any trim. Corvettes and Mustangs are just as common.
Actually, no joke, in my town, the ratio of classic Camaro to Camry is 10:1. Seeing a current model Camry is more out of the ordinary then a first generation Camaro.
Its not just the fact they're as common as Moose, but everybody wants one. Everyone. Come on people, stop following the crowd. I'd rather have seen a DOTS page on that shit brown Crown Victoria in the background. #1967
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: Spoken like a true Tempo fan. I wish my town was like that. The ratio of Camrys to first gen Camaros on the road here is at least 1000 to 1. I see less first gen Camaros than Lambos or Ferraris. #1967
@Novaload: Nikiski, AK. On the Kenai Peninsula. There are three kinds of people who inhabit these regions; Angry Natives, Rednecks, and Rich Ass Lower 49ers who have the money to have '67 Camaros in their AK summer homes. Alternatively, there is the lower class of the Rich Ass Lower 49ers who live year round in AK, but use HUMMERs in the winter and '67 Camaros in the summer.
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: Dude, I live in SoCal less than a mile away from the beach, and even I don't see too many of these around, even on a warm, breezy saturday afternoon.
And yet, in bumf*ck frigid Alaska, there are more Camaros than Camrys?
@paulmer hates electric cars: Very, very few car lines from the cheap brands (Chevy, Ford, Plymouth and AMC) came with standard power steering (or power brakes, for that matter) back then. #1967

The SEMA car is a little Frankenstein-ish. #pontiactransam

Hmm...
@theeastbaykid:
"The original is so much prettier."
Ahha! Ok, now the "100lb extra baggage" comment makes sense!
There's something about the bottom lip of the original though...
The new one doesn't look bad either! #pontiactransam

That and the power steering.
