Inside the book
2 Book Box Set
Chevrolet did not provide factory support for the stars who redefined success in Pro Stock and Funny Car categories. This two-book set covers the 1967-1981 Camaro drag racing history and the 1967-1969 restoration details. You get the chronological racing exploits of the first two generations alongside a factory-correct restoration guide. Having both on the bench helps you identify the right parts and colors while understanding how these cars dominated the drag strip.
Book 1 of 2
The Chevrolet Camaro entered the pony car wars to compete with the Ford Mustang. It featured a long nose and short-deck dimensions that made it an instant hit for GM enthusiasts. This book covers the drag racing history of the first two generations chronologically.
First-generation models were successful with small-block, big-block, and COPO category options. While the first generation stayed in Super Stock and Sportsman categories during the 1970s, the second generation took over in Pro Stock and Funny Car. Professionals like Bill Jenkins and Jungle Jim Liberman helped Chevy dominate the competition.
The book highlights race results and driver biographies to show how Chevrolet succeeded at the drag strip. It covers the years when Lee Shepard and Warren Johnson became stars in the racing ranks.
Book 2 of 2
Factory-correct cars hold the most value on the market today. This guide tells you exactly which parts, accessories, finishes, fabrics, and colors you need for a factory-original restoration. It helps you know exactly what to look for when shopping for a restored car.
The book features 250 color images detailing the SS, RS, and Z/28 performance packages. Jason Scott provides factory records, specifications, parts lists, and codes to ensure originality. It covers everything from six-cylinder models to big-block monsters.
Chevrolet introduced the Camaro in 1967 to offer a more aggressive pony car than the Mustang. These first-generation cars are now some of the most valuable pieces in the collectible muscle-car market.
