For those of you who couldn't make it or those that want to relive the event, here are the photos I took of the 1st generation Camaros that were displayed at the 2022 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) held in Rosemont, Illinois on Saturday, November 19, 2022. I tried to get all of them but I'm sorry if your car was not captured. I meant to go back and get additional pictures but never got around to it. Enjoy.

Your welcome Joe, glad you enjoyed them.

Thanks Scott, I also enjoyed seeing the 1st Gen photos. The ‘67 Z-28 is sporting an interesting looking set of wheels. Any idea what they are?

Those are Motor Wheel Spyders....Joe

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I love the 67 Pace Car. I have only seen a couple in my life time, as opposed to many, many 69 pace cars.

Thanks Joe. I don’t recall seeing those before. Seems that they had a 4 year production run ending in ‘72. Probably a tough find today in good condition like many other vintage wheels of the day. I like them.

Very Nice! Thanks for sharing and please keep them coming!

sigh....only one 68 worthy of A photo ? :-\ Any info on that particular car? I'm guessing L78...
Thanks for sharing! :)

Garth, it was the only 1968 there and that is the car I was going to go back and take more photos of but I got sidetracked and never got back. Here are some photos of the car taken by those who restored it. Car is a 325 hp 396.

Wow, I've never been there, but am quite surprised only 1 68 Camaro!? Maybe Chick scared all the competition away last year! lol :D
Thanks again, I appreciate the extra photos and the link.

Thanks Scott. My favorite is probably the Duck Harrell car (7 and 8 ).
. Would love to see higher resolution pics of the paint.

The Harrell car with the wing on the trunk was also a favorite of mine. Had not seen this one in person before. Do you know if the car has been featured in a print magazine article? I collect these articles and do not have one on this car. With the lack of print magazines available these days it might never have been featured. The spoiler and stripe look to be the same type but opposite color of the one with the 454 seen in this thread: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=18211.0

Unfortunately I don’t know but I think I know someone that would know. As soon as I have a chance to ask, I will.

Thanks for sharing! This show is on my bucket list for sure.

There were at least 3 first gens that did not make it. One was a Legends car that was in an accident. Weather kept my 69 Pace Car from going and being in the Maple Leaf Display. A COPO also didn't make it that was also going into that display.
-
Thanks a lot for sharing. I really appreciate seeing the cars. I'm definitely not smart enough to appreciate the cars with the racing/endorsement paint. I would presume that this is original and not just some goofy addition someone made.
That first photo set of the red 67 Z28 was sort of a head scratcher to me. I assume it was a real RS Z28 and, if so, one of handful ever created. Amazing car. Restored beautifully and then, for reasons known only to God, dropped those wheels and wide rear tires onto it and added white painted headers.
Also, any ideas on the white brackets under the front bumper?
-
The 67 Z28 looks real nice and has been restored using some Day 2 items. Perhaps this car is actually used as a road racer. Along with factory available cowl plenum and headers (not sure if these are Bill Thomas style) there is a TI module and what might be Delco race wires. The white toe hook brackets are also another race inspired modification. Interesting car, I hadn’t seen photos of it before.

A 69 Z28 that was to be judged also was in an accident in route and canceled. The 68 rally green car was a L34 car as it was also at last years goodguys show in York, PA but did not sign up for judging.
Hats off to another great MCACN show and spending time with CRG members.

Great Pics!! Thanks for sharing.

Great pics, all I can add is when I saw the green 68 car that looks like a perfect restoration, claimed it was one of 10 350hp 396s with air. It is an auto car. Not sure if that is the number for known cars or cars made. My favorite was the black 69 L78. To see something so original in person was really a treat.
