Just taking a single look at the iconic “father” figure of the original Camaro might not be enough to help us understand the dire estate of the current iteration. So, let’s take a second, third, fourth...
Sure, many factors contributed to Chevy’s lackluster sixth-generation sales performance of late. Some would argue that Dodge’s vintage-oriented design and the continued high-performance improvements are key to Challenger’s domination of 2021.
Others might add that Ford’s Mustang has reigned for so long because of its continued widespread appeal and balanced specification sheet. And one could also add that it’s way easier for them to navigate the treacherous sports car territory. Simply because neither of them faced any successful mid-engine internal rival (C8 Corvette, of course).
But one could also argue that contemporary Camaro designs, as sporty as they may be, are way too disconnected from their pony/muscle car legacy. Just take a look at this original ‘Maro that was digitally prepared for us by John, the virtual artist better known as johnrendering on social media. And one can even completely ignore the scorching desert surroundings or the romantically setting sun.
The answer might be tucked inside the CGI figure of this first-generation Camaro that looks almost like 21st-century material without too much effort. That is a timeless design, sprinkled with a few virtual customizations to make it viable for the tech-craving classic car restomod community. Who needs a squinty-eyed Camaro when one could potentially have this gorgeous thing slammed on their driveway?
Naturally, the squeaky-clean black Camaro (with tasty white stripes) might be just wishful thinking. After all, there’s just one POV and no hint towards a potential real-world build. But with its chromed wheels, massive red brake calipers, as well as a bagged stance, it would not be too far-fetched to assume that it might soon inspire someone to build their dream restomod project...
