This topic is going to be fun
Well, it's simple. They are the best looking cars ever built for this purpose. They look mean, brutal and fast. They get attention where ever you go. The '69 Camaro will give you the 1000 yard stare from people who have had them earlier in their life. It was an easy car to make a winner out of at the dragstrips.
The '69 Camaro has a long reputation (even from its debute) for being a fast, cool car. Especially for the Z/28. Even though the Z/28 was available in 67 and 68 it really took off in 69 which is one of the years were most Z's were ever produced.
To make a Pro touring car from a '69 Camaro only accents its original lines.
I am very glad that I have one, and it is a true X77
