Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The first generation Camaro's structure is best defined as:

Answer: Unibody structure with a seperate subframe in the front.

The first generation Camaro had a unibody structure from the windshield and firewall back, with a separate steel rail subframe for everything up front. Double A-arms made up the independent front suspension while the solid rear axle was suspended by semi-elliptical leaf springs.
The Modified MacPherson strut system, with a long torque arm and coil springs was used in the third generation Camaros (1982-1992).

2. Let's say you own a 1967 Camaro RS equipped with a 327 cubic inch small block V-8. What is the correct firing order for your engine?

Answer: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

All small block Chevrolet V-8s use the same firing order, 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

3. Which package option included "Deluxe interior trim" and "Hide-a-Way Headlights"?

Answer: Rally Sport (RS)

The RS package was the only one which included the hidden headlights. Packages could be combined such as the SS/RS to end up with an SS with hidden headlights, but it had to have the RS package included somewhere.

4. Which Camaro paced the 1967 Indianapolis 500?

Answer: The RS/SS convertible powered by a 396 c.i. V-8.

The 1967 Pace Car was a 396 big-block car.
Later, in 1969, Chevy produced its second Camaro Indianapolis 500 pace car and offered replicas of the white RS/SS convertible with orange stripes and orange houndstooth upholstery to the public (the actual pace car was powered by a 396, but most of the replicas had 350s).

5. Some of the rarest Camaros are referred to as "COPOs". What does COPO stand for?

Answer: Central Office Production Order.

Lots of different Chevrolet models were available as COPOs, including the Camaro, Chevelle, and Nova.

Answer: 69

Only 69 of the ZL-1s were built, and because of their rarity, tremendous output and relatively low weight, they are today considered the quickest and most valuable Camaros ever built.
In 1969, you could purchase a brand-new Nova SS for about the same price as just the ZL-1 engine by itself!

7. What was the starting price for a base model 1967 Camaro sport coupe before any options or accessories were added to it?

Answer: $2,466

Wish new cars were still that price today!

8. How many different AUTOMATIC transmissions were available for the first-generation Camaros?

Answer: 2

The two automatic transmission choices were the two-speed PowerGlide and the three-speed TurboHydraMatic.

Answer: Bumblebee Stripes

"Bumblebee Stripes" was especially fitting for a yellow Camaro with the stripes in black!

10. What were the two main design design changes between the 1967 and 1968 model-years?

Answer: The side vent wing windows were eliminated, and side-marker lights were added.

Thanks to "Astro Ventilation," General Motors eliminated the side vent wing windows on the 1968 Camaro and also added federally mandated side marker lights. Mechanically, the most significant change was the adoption of staggered rear shocks (one in front of the rear axle, one behind) to counteract wheel hop under hard acceleration.
The 1967 Camaro is the only Camaro that had a triangular vent window.
