When Ford introduced the Mustang in 1964 it not only kicked off a sales bonanza but also the beginning of a new class of automobile, the pony car. While it's true that Plymouth beat Ford to market by a hair with their Barracuda, the Mustang was the one that set the bar. That pushed General Motors into action to try to compete in what they saw as a vast under served market. They introduced two cars into the fray, the Pontiac Firebird and the more successful Chevy Camaro. Though they shared the same platform and many of the same parts, heck, the cars were even built on the same assembly lines, the Chevrolet outsold its stable mate. That's one reason there are so many Camaros still around and why the 47th Pumpkin Run Nationals saw so many roll into the Clermont County Fairgrounds this past season. Here are just some that were on hand for this event.
Whether they're the great classics, ultimate collectors, overlooked and forgotten, or even brand new cars I want to talk about them. Feel free to leave a comment or, better yet, drop me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com.
