Camaro....I really want to buy one and fix it up .

I've heard some say "go for the 67, original year, options ect...but i've also heard some say the 69' is better because it was restyled that year and more agressive.....

Any opinions out there??

Thanks

You wouldn't go wrong with either year, but GM did a comprehensive suspension re-design in 1969, oriented more towards handling on asphalt than on soaking up bumps. This being GM, understand that they took a few steps in this direction, they didn't make the cars into Porsches...

So I think the '69 would be the better driver. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at a good '67 or '68 either.

he's refering to placing the aposterphe after the year number instead of before...

ie 67' vs '67.

It's funny only if you understand the difference...and even then it's not really all that funny.

I prefer the looks of the '67 and '68 but that's just my preference.
