Book Overview
Thoroughly researched text and nearly 200 full color and black and white photographs, this is the definitive Camaro history. Camaro is the story of all the milestone models, and the comprehensive history of Chevy's enduring musclecar. Camaro provides extensive coverage on the tire-shredding, high-performance, first-generation cars, including the superb handling Z28, the small- and big- block Super Sports, Rally Sports, and Indy Pace Car replicas. The speed shop big-block street weapons built by Yenko, Nickey, Berger, Baldwin-Motion, as well as Central Office Purchase Order (COPO) cars, are also covered in detail. By 1965, Ford was enjoying wild success in the new youth high-performance market with the new Mustang, but Chevy was not going to be upstaged. In 1967, the unibody Camaro boldly arrived on the scene, and its impeccable blend of superb handling and stirring engine performance vaulted it to the forefront of the market.

Very interesting book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
First of all, this book is fascinating to read. It contains a lot of interesting facts and nice stories you will love. Besides, it is full of great pictures (some of them are real stunning shots). The only thing that disappointed me a little - there are too many new cars in this book. I would prefer to see more rare models from the late sixties/early seventies instead. But that's my personal opinion. For those looking for the performance specials, I would recommend a nice book written by Jason Scott and David Newhardt. Its title speaks for itself: "Camaro Z28 and Performance Specials". You may also like to buy both of them. They are worth it!
The best Camaro book I've found!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is well-organized and well-written. The author knows the subject matter and it shows! The information is pretty comprehensive and details everything you'd want to know about the Camaro's distinguished history (from 1966 to 2000)--R & D, engine design, options available, marketing, sales, etc. Hundreds of detailed color photos are also provided. Another plus about this book is the fact that there was an editor! I can't recall finding any misspelled words, errors in grammar, or misinformation. A book this "clean" is such a rarity nowadays! Personal note: I purchased the hardcover edition of this book and, while very nice and durable, I found it difficult to read because of its size (10.25" x 10.25" x 0.5"). If you're only interested in reading the material versus using the book as a reference piece, I would recommend getting the paperback edition.

Camaro, by Anthony Young
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I have six books about the Camaro and, out of them all, this one has the best selection of pictures for all four generations of this car. It includes detailed descriptions about the development of each model generation, including accurate text regarding vehicle engine and chassis specifications. I particularly enjoyed the detailed pictures and text about the 2000 Super Sport model, since I own one myself. I highly recommend this book to any Camaro, or Chevrolet fan.
