By	Tony Orlando (Houston Texas) - See all my reviews

Oct. 78, ISBN 0932128009, 144 Pages, Hardcover, Lamm-Morada Publishing Company " For Joanne ".
GM Logo centered on front board (has intact gold pin strip around logo, reads In large letters inside logo " The Great Camaro ".
I purchased this book with the dream of owning an old camaro, ended up with a 72 chevy pick up instead. This book completely covers every camaro produced from 1967-1979. All The Production Specs for each year model showing the collectability ( How many Produced And From Where Manufactured ) Of Each Option Offered, Along With History Of Deloreon and other Designers, Awsome Photographs Of Rare Cameros, Models Never Produced, and Custom Models Ordered Special.
ALOT OF INFORMATION HERE, This is a Must Have For Anyone trying to put a value of how rare your model is with those specific options. There are great pictures in the book and very indepth information and why the car was introduced, its development stages, models that didnt make it to assembly, and drawings of future models.
You see just how compeditive the car manufactures were then. If you cant get the car, at least buy this book.
