The Camaro was born to do just one thing: eat up the Ford Mustang’s market share. It is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car, which has also been much more affordable than most German cars. Chevrolet launched the first Camaro in the year 1966. However, many journalists back then were already speculating that a Mustang competitor, code-named Panther, was in the making. In June 1966, about 200 of them were invited to an “important SEPAW meeting,” where Chevrolet launched the original Camaro. According to Chevrolet, the name Camaro means “a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs,” for obvious reasons. If you are a massive fan of the first-generation Camaro, Bring a Trailer has a 1969 model listed for auction, and it is in decent condition, considering it is more than half a century old.
