5th Camaro unveiling.......plus 3 super rare Camaros....
My dad was 1 of 30 local Camaro owners to get invited up for the show/display. They let a few others creep in as well.
The unveiling happened at Hendrick Chevy in Durham, NC. The car they unveiled was actually the V6 that they were to be demoing all day. They almost didn't get the car......a salesman had to drive this car all the way back from CT last night/early this morning to make it happen.
A NASCAR replica with a driving simulator.....and a well known local Big Dog race car (similar to Pro Mod) of Rocky Reyner....
One of the cars that trickled in........'72 I believe, had a blow through setup....
Interior shots of the 5th gen...
Link is to fullsize....

Beautiful '73.....belongs to famed local SBC genius Charley Hemphill.....
More of the cars....
And a quick shot of my dad's....
Some damn nice cars there.....but the stars of the whole show were tucked away in the service bays at the dealership. Camaro #1 of the new 5th Gen......Rick Hendrick's SS. Also with the 5th gen, are two from Rick's personal collection. From what they told us........these two 69's are both car 1 and 2 off the assembly line as well. One car has 2 miles on it, the other 1.5 miles! They are 100% from the assembly line.........never touched. According to their info, the vinyl topped car was purchased by Rick Hendrick brand new.....right off the line. He later acquired car 2.....

Good stuff! Anybody agree that the cluster looks awkward from the passenger angle??
Edit: Anybody agree the cluster just looks awkward?

I thought the interior sucked when I sat in one at the international auto show this year. Not to mention the car is huge in person.
