    Why a 69 Camaro?

    Why not a 68 or 67?

    In my case, the styling of the 69 just hits me right.

      Whiskey for my men ... and beer for their horses!

            Yep. Some people can substantiate it, many can not. You like what you like.

            I like a 68 Chevelle. Not a 69. They aren't all that different, but with most of the differences, I prefer the 68.

            - don't get me wrong, I don't dislike a 69... I just prefer the 68.

              While I think the 67 would be more comfortable, ( Vent windows that can suck fresh air in like crazy ) I hate the cluttered look of them. So it would be a 68 or a 69 for me. It just depends on my mood that day. The 68 looks more down to business. The 69 looks prettier.

                I think the 69 Camaro is the top of the top of all cars. I always said they made aftermarket parts for the 69 Camaro then everything else.
                But I like 67s????

                    EDIT: well, the reason was to say no vent windows, but I got carried away...

                      For me it was what I got. My dad and brother had raced and fixed up countless 67 and 68's. My heart was set on a 67. My grampa had a real solid 69 that would up being mine. After 25 years it still is. 69's kinda became my niche in my family. My dad and brother still have 67's . There are thing I like better about each year, but my 69 will always be mine!

                        I had a 68 Camaro but always wanted a 69, I liked the body style better, I'd still like to have a 69, maybe someday? OK, does anybody on here (Brian, Spidey, or) have knowledge of or remember when Wally Booth turned his 68 Camaro into a 69 Camaro?

                              Here is my old and gone 67 with a 400 in it and big block springs, 411 gears.
                              It would bounce the front tires off the ground when you goosed the gas!
