Big-Block Beauty: A 1970 (and a 1/2) Chevrolet Camaro 396 SS/RS (in Japan!)

February 11, 2014

My local, old-school, American Muscle-car workshop always has sweet cars parked out the front. The other day I stopped by to check out this big-block, Chevrolet Camaro 396 SS/RS.

This Camaro was built in 1971. It has a 6,489cc V8 engine.

I've set myself an ambitious target, and that is to unearth all of Japan's rusting, nostalgic gems. It's not going to be easy. They're shy creatures and prefer to remain hidden. And, limited time and funds mean they're likely to stay that way, which would be not cool! <More>
