The first Camaro had a Unibody structure with a 3 speed-Manual 230 ci 6 cylinder engine squeezing 140 hp all at a cost of about $2,500.
Later drivers had the option to pick 2 awesome packages( RS, and SS).
The engines could range from 155 hp, 325 hp and 375 hp.
Also they could choose a 4 speed or Automatic transmission.
The (RS) Rally Sport brought deluxe interior trim and hidden headlights.
The (SS) Super Sport pumped high performance with vents, bumble bee stripes with tougher suspension.
