1968 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird |

There is maybe a front view to help identify it? |

Front shot won't help, as they replaced it with the more aerodynamic and modern 1978+ front, as seen on the ground here: |

Camaro was more common, let's go with that. |

I would have said a 1974+ hood. But if it's a 1978+ model, then it can't be nothing else than the one of a Camaro. Remember that the Firebird had a new hood and a new front face from 1977 onwards: ![[Image: 191px-1977_Pontiac_Firebird_Formula_%2810323236224%29.jpg]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1977_Pontiac_Firebird_Formula_%2810323236224%29.jpg "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/1977_Pontiac_Firebird_Formula_%2810323236224%29.jpg/191px-1977_Pontiac_Firebird_Formula_%2810323236224%29.jpg") ![[Image: 230px-Pontiac_Firebird_%28%2712_Les_chauds_vendredis%29.JPG]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pontiac_Firebird_%28%2712_Les_chauds_vendredis%29.JPG "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Pontiac_Firebird_%28%2712_Les_chauds_vendredis%29.JPG/230px-Pontiac_Firebird_%28%2712_Les_chauds_vendredis%29.JPG") ![[Image: 250px-Chevrolet_Camaro_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2712%29.JPG]](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chevrolet_Camaro_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2712%29.JPG "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/Chevrolet_Camaro_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2712%29.JPG/250px-Chevrolet_Camaro_%28Les_chauds_vendredis_%2712%29.JPG") (1977-78 Firebird // 1979-81 Firebird // 1978-81 Camaro) For sure a car with a 1967-69 GM F-Body body and a (1974+? 1978+?) hood. Does it have the 1967 only vent windows, or is it just a "side-effect" of what seems to be a fiberglass body? And is it a 1978+ Camaro hood, or not? Would the team have put a Camaro hood (if one) on a Firebid basis? What's the trouble with the "impossible to identify" concept, guys? That could the case here, and we should accept it if so... I really don't understand this "vital necessity" to set a make and/or a model when it's impossible to grab enough details to say precisely what a vehicle is. And please share your source for this "more common Camaros" certainty. As far as I know, you didn't live in USA in 1970s and early 1980s, i.e. until the episode was released, so you didn't see directly if the Camaros were more common. It sounds just like a feeling you have when watching US TV-Series, which doesn't make it a very reliable source (I'm talking about the feeling of course, not about you .gif ";)") ). -- Last edit: 2015-06-06 03:56:12 |

How about Custom Made Late Model Stock car?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_model |

I'd say its a 67-8 camaro because of the "coke bottle hip" & the front shot looks like a 70.5 to 73 camaro fiberglass front clip or possibly monza.? |

@ghost It could not be a 67 model because they still had vent windows... @rjluna2..Since I started this to begin with, I agree with your description..Custom-Made.... |

... that seem to be present on this car when looking carefully at the 2 pictures... Or, as said in my previous comment, it could be a feature of the fiberglass body... -- Last edit: 2015-06-06 20:35:25 |
