When the Camaro was introduced in 1967 as an answer to the wildly
popular Mustang and the "pony car" category it created, the Chevrolet
response proved to be very popular in its own right. Of course, every
successful act needs an encore, and what followed was the
second-generation Camaro, produced from early 1970 until 1981. The new
model was a dramatic departure from its predecessor, with a body style
and features that evolved steadily over its 12-year production run. From
the early years featuring LT1 engines, a multitude of performance
packages and dramatic euro styling, to the later years when comfort
replaced performance in many aspects, the second-generation Camaro
remains extremely popular today. Whether you have an SS, Z/28, Rally
Sport, Type LT, Sport Coupe, or Berlinetta, The Definitive Camaro Guide:
1970-1981 showcases the various cosmetic, interior, powertrain, and
chassis changes that occurred on all models through the years. Heavily
illustrated, the book features more than 450 images detailing the
correct parts and accessories your Camaro had when new. Author Jason
Scott is an expert on this marque. This guide will help enthusiasts
