1972 Chevrolet Camaro – Twin Spin

Being a hot rod enthusiast, you are probably caught up in the aura of the ’67–’69 Camaro, finding those three years to be the pinnacle of Camarodom. So it may come as a surprise that when the ’70 Camaro (or ’70½, as some have tagged them) hit the magazines and showrooms, it was considered the ne plus ultra of Bow Tie execution — the standard by which all Camaros, all muscle cars really, would be judged into perpetuity. It had such sophistication and extreme presence with its “European styling” that it was quite naturally the top of the affordable-performance-car mountain, possibly even supplanting the Corvette, which received only a mild facelift that same year. Even Motor Trend gushed saying, “Everything else you knew just went obsolete. The shape of the ’70s is the shape of the decade’s first machines, the Camaro and Firebird.”
