Chevrolet created the Camaro in response to the runaway sales
success of the Ford Mustang, the first pony car. The Mustang went
on sale in April 1964, and by August that same year, General Motors
launched an intensive program to bring its own pony car to market.
In September 1966, the Camaro went on sale. Chevrolet wanted the
Camaro to be better than the Mustang in every area, including
style, ride-quality, and performance. To that end, with the Mustang
having already achieved so much racing success, Chevrolet wanted to
beat it on the track also. Racing Camaros: An International
Photographic History 1966 - 1986 is a photographic celebration of
road racing Camaros throughout the world. It focuses on
production-based cars, rather than the heavily modified tube-frame
silhouette machines that began appearing in the late 1970s.
Included are images of big-budget factory-supported cars competing
in the Trans-Am series, right through to low-buck independents, and
cars competing throughout the world. For the first time, the
international road racing representation of the Camaro is featured
in a book, which includes countless photos that have never been
published. Technical detail is provided throughout, from concept
and design, right through its racing career, and the challenges and
developments that took place to make it a winner. Only period
images have been used. This is a true photographic history
depicting the global popularity of the Chevrolet Camaro as a road
racing car.
