You learn something new every day. Sitting at DMV getting my driver's license renewed, listening to a woman bragging to another woman about her husband's '64 Camero.
Not quite as evolved as you 2112, I have always disliked the design of the '70-'73 probably because of my love of the '69* and not understanding why it was only a one and done. However they have grown a bunch on me in the last few years to where I would consider owning one.
As time has gone by, I like the '68 even more than the '69 (which was my first car; LeMans blue SS350/4spd/3:73 posi). I think the '68 is a cleaner design. Saw a 72 RS Z28 with a real LT1 recently. They are a nice, clean car, just not as visceral to me as the first gen cars.
My car shortly after I graduated from college. Bought it new. Loved it. Red-line was 7000 rpm. Lots of good times in this car. Wish I still had it. There were not very many of these in Calgary as they did not handle too well in the snow!!
