The mustangs are the same way everyone wants a 67 fastback.I have had a few people ask me why don't i sell my 68 mustang coupe and get a fastback i tell them why would i down grade.I like every year camaro only ones i can afford are late 2nd gen or 3rd gen tho.

I like all three but the 69 has been the ICON for first gen camaros. It was the cars that I have always wanted but then I saw how much they cost and no thanks to much money for me right now.

I love them all....but for me, the '69 is like the hot big sister. A little more aggressive, a little more 'bold'.

That's why I bought a '69 Firebird instead.....if the '69 Camaro is the dirty sister...the 'bird is the dirtiest. HAHAHA!!!!

I like my 67' "Camaro" because I built it. 69's are cool too & most popular
I repeat popular. These cars were "overdone" in the 70's, 80's, 90's, &
today in various build styles. Preference, parts availability has favored these cars all this time for a reason, they are popular!
I have had my car since 84' & bought it to build a light V8 car to handle good.
I was inpired by the TA cars I saw race as a kid. 67's are lighter than 68's & 69's, love my vent windows, I like the interior better too, key in the dash.

I always wanted a 1st gen Camaro; I was born in 69. Easy choice for me

It's a face only a father could love!

I painted the bumper body-color...black, so it hides alot of the fugly, and the rubber headlight surrounds kinda disappear. Now it takes on the appearance of a '70 GTO on a diet.

I like to think of it as the ugly sister that got a boob job and a nosejob! ROFL!

Back on point....'69 Camaros are still cool, not matter how played out people claim they are on the interweb...I still RARELY see them, if ever, on the road and maybe one or two at the local shows...except for the CC Summer Nats here in town, then there are alot....but I see just as many other models. It's like the TTII deal, they are played out on some websites, but not in real life.
