Chevrolet Camaro: książki - historia i modele

Racing Camaros

Chevrolet stworzył model Camaro w odpowiedzi na sprzedażowy sukces Forda Mustanga - pierwszego Pony Cara. Po debiucie Mustanga w kwietniu 1964 roku, General Motors szybko rozpoczął prace nad własnym samochodem. Camaro trafił do sprzedaży we wrześniu 1966 roku. Chevrolet chciał przewyższyć Mustanga pod względem wyglądu, komfortu, osiągów i sukcesów wyścigowych.

Książka ukazuje rolę Camaro w wyścigach torowych na całym świecie, koncentrując się na autach opartych na produkcyjnych modelach, a nie późniejszych konstrukcjach z ramą rurową. Pokazuje zarówno zespoły fabryczne, jak i prywatne.

Publikacja zawiera wiele wcześniej niepublikowanych zdjęć, dokumentujących karierę Camaro w serii Trans-Am i innych wyścigach. Uwzględniono również szczegóły techniczne od projektu po rozwój.
Wszystkie zdjęcia pochodzą z epoki i przedstawiają globalną historię Camaro w wyścigach od 1966 do 1984 roku.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS (Muscle Cars in Detail)

In 1969, the Camaro with the SS package took Chevy Camaro performance and styling to another level. First, the Camaro carried updated sheet metal for an aggressive and eye-catching appearance, and the ultra-high-performance 427 big-block engines were available for the first time.
As history proved, 1969 was the pinnacle of performance and styling for the first-generation Chevy Camaro.

Author and muscle car expert Bobby Kimbrough provides a comprehensive examination of the all-time classic 1969 Camaro SS. He delves into the design, manufacturing, and equipment of Chevrolet's premier pony car.

For the first time in its history, the 1969 Camaro SS had a full slate of high-performance small-blocks as well as big-blocks to conquer the competition on the street and track.
The engines included several iterations of the 350 and 396. In addition, the ultimate big-block Camaro, the COPO 427 is profiled.

All In Detail Series books include an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, and an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, as well as an examination of where the car is on the market today.
Also included is an appendix of paint and option codes, VIN and build-tag decoders, as well as production numbers.

The Complete Book of Chevrolet Camaro : Every Model Since 1967

This is a Camaro book like no other. It covers the entire production history of Chevrolet's iconic muscle car, from the original concept car (codenamed Panther) to the latest and greatest sixth-generation vehicle. It showcases every model of Camaro since 1967 in stunning detail, using original and GM archival photography as well as insider interviews and technical specifications.

This lavishly illustrated book details all six generations of the Camaro's production run. The original model was developed to fight the Mustang in the muscle car wars of the late 1960s; the second-gen cars became icons of American automotive styling in the 1970s; the third-gen cars helped lead a muscle car renaissance in the 1980s.
The refined fourth-gen cars continued to demonstrate GM's prowess and engineering know-how through 2002; the fifth-gen Camaro brought back the iconic nameplate in 2010; and now the latest generation has debuted to rave reviews in 2016.

This book also features all the production vehicles, prototypes, show cars, anniversary editions, pace cars, and more from the vibrant Camaro culture.

Camaro: An American Icon

The inside story of a Chevrolet great. The book is filled with authoritative text, interviews with the key people behind the Camaro, design artwork, and page after page of fascinating photos, many drawn from the GM archives.
Noted automotive author Gary Witzenburg and the auto editors of Consumer Guide outline Camaro s fast rise to stardom, which was fueled by a winning blend of style, performance, and enthusiast-oriented options like the Rally Sport and Super Sport packages.

The book follows the Camaro through five eras:

• The development and introduction of the 1966 Camaro, GM s tardy but bold answer to the 1964 Ford Mustang
• The second generation Camaro of the 1970s, which survived a near-death experience during the energy crisis
• The leaner, meaner third-generation Camaro of the 1980s, which kept the pony car flame burning despite opposing trends
• The 1992 debut of the Gen IV Camaro, which boasted major improvements on the previous designs but stumbled in the age of SUVs and seemed to mark the end of the line for the brand
• The exciting development of a new Camaro following an eight-year hiatus

Camaro Exposed 1967-1969: Designs, Decisions and the Inside View

This book tells the story of the formative and most collectible years of that classic pony car. Paul Zazarine, the noted muscle car enthusiast and expert, documents the rise of the Camaro from the first glimmer in Chevrolet's eye to the mighty COPO 427 Camaro.
"Camaro Exposed" documents through first-hand reminisces of GM engineers and previously unpublished photos the development of GM's high-performance muscle car. For the first time, the reader will be able to view the proposed Camaro station wagon, Camaro fastback, and other amazing designs that GM had seriously considered as it waged a sales war with Ford's highly successful Mustang.

Camaro performance enthusiasts will find special delight in the chapter devoted to one of the greatest muscle cars: the Z/28. Learn how the car was first conceived, the various stages of its development, and how Ford battled back in the showroom and on the track with the Boss 302.

To top off the story, Zazarine includes a chapter on the ultimate Camaro: the COPO 427. Remember the days of Yenko, Nickey, Baldwin-Motion, and Dana Chevrolet - those "little old Chevy dealers" with the monster Camaro options? Camaro Exposed reproduces the original ads dealers used to promote these ultra-potent Camaros and their drag racing conquests.

"Camaro Exposed, 1967-1969: Designs, Decisions and the Inside View" is mandatory for muscle car and Camaro lovers. With first-hand interviews and unpublished photos.
