What the Camaro could have looked like - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Back when Chevrolet was considering designs for the 2nd gen Camaro, this beast crossed their desks. Dubbed the Khamback Camaro, they gave it some serious consideration, producing several design studies on the 1950's Nomad inspired look.

Luckily for us, they decided the concept was out of character for the Camaro.

EDIT: The only image I can find is on Google Books, and they won't let me save or copy the location of the image. So here's the LINK. If anyone has a screen capture software, please capture the image and post it here.

It looks like a Vega

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-08-2007, 10:52 PM

It looks like a hearse!

*TAG UR IT* · 10-08-2007, 11:16 PM

Hey...that's not bad.

......

At least i like the front end...

I'm surprised by the strong negative response to it actually. I agree it's generally pretty ugly, but it looks just like a '70 Camaro with a station wagon-like rear.

Thankfully we weren't subjected to it. LOL

I’d roll it… Plenty of potential for a killer "Grocery Getter"...

Wiess · 10-09-2007, 09:39 AM

Id light the thing on fire and roll it off a cliff! that is so ugly!!!

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-09-2007, 10:29 AM

I think if it was ever produced...I'd want a big...black...suburban to roll it over, just to end it's misery. No Camaro deserves that.

There were several firebird models done. Right up to the fourth gen car......
