I really think it is a `67 If I remember right it had side vent windows in the door, I have the video but the VCR that I used to do single frame play no longer works...maybe because I played and rewound VP one too many times

and while I was thinking of cars with Cat in the name.........I think that is what Larry was wanting

Buick "WildCat"
Stutz "BearCat"
are 2 that I thought of

The judges have reached a decision....WE HAVE A WINNER .....WildCat....just need to know if you want a Viper or Prowler ornament.....would be a long winter wait for Viper keys(they are all in bubbles), and you know you are welcome to one anyway.....ps....If I remember right, the Camaro is a 67/68....both years had vent windows....69 was the first year GM deleted them....think I have your mailing address....will ship as soon as I find out which you want....larry

I'm not a chevy guy but the only year Camaro with vent window was a 1967.........1968 went with the astro ventilation in the Camaro....plus I have 2 car guy buddies with `67 and they told me the vent window was only `67 model.......prove me wrong some bow tie lover.

What I want to know is why we know this stuff?

I had just read about the Safari in a recent magazine including a picture.

The `55 Chevy was discussed with fellow Prowler lover at Dream cruise a few years ago.

The only one that I had no idea on was the plate on Milners car
