  • The announcer makes me think of epic meal time, and the car makes me wish they still made cars like that.

  • I was around back then. I remember this commercial, and it was a blockbuster as far as commercials went at the time. Most 60's commercials aren't this elaborate. This commercial is like a Charleton Heston movie! Put it together with the Camaro itself, which was powerful, good looking, and fairly inexpensive, made it the hit it still is today.

  • I wish they where still like tht but the new ones look like tht just bigger and a little different design

  • What the....!

  • Super muscle car

    they had to put background music "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi

  • I'll have ten!

    Just as long as they're made in a factory, I have an allergy to hopping in cars made out of lava...

  • this guy just loves saying camaro, every time CAMARO!

  • Man, they don't make em like that any more.

  • At your chevrolet dealer now....I WISH

  • it's lol it's a hotwheel!!

  • Car commercials these days are just the car driving along a road with redneck music playing and the guy explains in a boring voice why buying this car is the right thing to do

  • The two people that dislike this video drive Mustangs...

  • Mustang? Its all about the Camaro!!!

  • shock & awe

  • We all know the camaro is superior to the mustang.

  • Holy shit. I never knew the old Camaros had hideaway lights. Gnarly.

    

  • back when people wanted a sports car to drive across a big field of dead grass..

  • fords should go back where they came from..the junkyard...chevy power!!

  • @hickboy1995 ... Ha ha ha. Good one.

    Only problem is... Ford has always been superior. Chev muscle (old or new) was always sub-par to whatever car they were trying to rip off from Ford.

    Chevy's involvement in the muscle car game has always been reactive... rather than proactive. Ford introduces the Mustang in '64. The Camaro... '67. Ford went retro in 2005 with the Mustang. Chevy reintroduces the retro-themed Camaro in 2009 (even tho they killed the Camaro off just 7 years earlier).

  • i would rather get both 1978 and 2006 camaro, LOL they're both for the movie transformers!

  • @tutternbubba there was no camaro in 2006...

  • @menofat1 uhhh.....yeah there is! if you dont belive me go to amazon.com then type in 2006 chevy camaro model set. they do have a 2006 chevy camaro

  • @tutternbubba well there was but it was a prototype, they didnt start selling it until 2010.

  • @tutternbubba bumblebee form 1 was a 76/77 camaro.

  • Back seat up... Back seat down! lol

  • rally?

  • that's the longest commercial i've ever seen in my life

  • Looks like the commercial was made by the producers of Star Trek. You would expect Captain Kirk and the landing party to appear from behind the rocks and sparks to check it out.

  • The car just looks so damn good here. Makes me crave that blacked out SS grill and 4-speed.

  • Cool!!!! Now this was back when they acutally built a real car and not the cheap plastic things they make today!!!!

  • Cool as

  • What a great, dramatic, beautifully produced ad! You'd never see such drama in an ad for a car today. And when you do, some whiney bunch demands its removal (think the Corvette ad from about three or four years ago.)

  • who's the fool who didn't like this. Must be someone who's nut haven't dropped. Besides all cars these days get ripped up like foil and the older modles, well i noticed everone gives them a wide birth.

  • I want one! I can't wait till they come out!

  • Why the hell did they always show musclecar commercials with the cars on off road turf? Makes no friggin sense at all. Is that what they were designed for? LOL GTO did the same thing in the mid 60's on the commercial where the tiger jumped out of the hood, they were on some stupid dirt road.

  • Commercials were so much more informative back then.  What happened?

  • @ellaswing I know what your saying.

  • this ain't no "dumb fat lady in an suv talki'n on a cellphone " .....kinda car.........or the o'l......bitch with a buncha kids in a pt cruiser or some schleppo mini van or hundai santa fe.......kinda car. This is a great commercial for a raw car meant for men only, and not kiddies.

  • @handonrip my DAD bought one in May of 1969................I turned 16 in 1968 and was in 7th Heaven when he let me drive it to McDonalds!!!

  • Why is this over two minutes long? Times have changed, that's for sure. POOPY-BUTT PSSI SHIT EAT THE

  • Camaro > Mustang

  • 1967...giggity

    quickly follwed by eleanor.....giggity giggity

  • I Want One!

  • im sorry, but did he just say a "wicked black grill"?

  • What an amazing awesome commerical.

  • well now we know where was chuck norris jerking off in the '60s-->IN A VOLCANO!:D

  • i will own one of these one day o.o

  • omg those headlights the way they opened was like as if the beast from the depths of the volcano has awakened and drove out into a world where it would become famous for the next 40+ years. i think thats one thing GM forgot to do with the 5th gen is do a hideaway headlight thing. chevy and camaro for life!!!

  • that was awesome, but the "backseat up, backseat down!" um, yeah, could have left that bit of cheese out.

  • @MaximusRelaximus It wasn't cheesy at the time it came out. They knew how to market to their potential clients.

  • @sportvandora It's a badass car, no doubt, and I was putting myself in the mindset of a 20-something male in the mid-to-late sixties. From that perspective, I still think that I would have thought that the commercial was awesome (though I probably would have said, "heavy") except for that ridiculous, "back.seat.up! back.seat.down!"

  • i think i just had an orgasm

  • I wonder how much it cost to air a 2 minute commercial back then...

  • My family owned the 250 ci 6 cyl version of this volcanic wonder.

    2 speed powerglide transmission.

    It got 20 MPG!

    During the price war between Sunoco and Esso gas. You could get Sunoco grade 190 for 19.9 cents a gallon! That's a lot of cheap driving kids.

    The only thing that broke on the car (excepting normal wear items like brakes) in 120K miles was the mechanical voltage regulator, distibutor, and water pump. All very cheap to fix. Then the car rusted out in typical GM fashion.

  • my dream car.

  • And this is where it began.. A legend

  • wish we had them in Ireland aint seen any over here

  • the rocks in the beginning look soooo cheesy

  • Ford: Keeping auto repair shops in business since 1903...bless the Camaro. Gonna get me the 2012 Camaro SS (Z28 too much HP for me, V6 too little) which will also have a much-needed upgrade of an interior in which GM claims.

  • @Manbeast222 Lmao is that why GM went bankrupt and Ford didn't? 

  • @imercana Ford is successful because people buy Fords and when they noticeably start falling apart they immediately trade up to another one and keep the cash and payments rolling. While Chevy and most American brands aren't known to last much either, Ford definetely takes the cake for bad reliablity. Enjoy your Rustangs Ford fans. "lmao"

  • @Manbeast222 hey numb nutz..if the stang was seen as terrible as you explain it to be..then why is it the stang is the 1 and only muscle/pony car to never go out of production?..same year as chevelle and gto..yet all of them died and the stang stood its ground and never fell when the dust cleared..if american brands dont last long then why do i still see more older american cars and trucks on the road then any jap vehicle?...oh..and this includes my 77 f 150 that is still going strong

  • @390merc65 mustangs are for spoiled teenage girls

  • @tratdall or for guys who want a car that runs the ass off of camaro ..or for someone who wants a car to start on a daily basis

  • @390merc65 ha your funny, only mustang that is worth taking a shit on is the 65' my brother has had more problems with his stang that he slod then his older camaro which started on a dailey basis though it was treated like crap from its original owner. and the mustang was treated better so idk, sounds like the camaro is better

  • @tratdall yeah yeah ...my brother this , my uncle that ..i know a friend of a friend who knows a guy down the street that had nothing but problems with his ford..any car can have trouble....i had a chevy once and kept falling apart every week ....let me ask you something..how good are the 65 camaro's????....how many years did it take for chevy to sell a million camaro's????

  • @390merc65 does it even matter who sold what lets see the mustang was out longer than the camaro so of course it will get more sells.

  • @tratdall dont get mad at me cuzz the stang was brought out first and never ended production like the camaro ,,thats chevys fault

  • @390merc65 true

  • Was that a electronic swtich that put the backseat down?

  • How many times did that douchebag say camaro??!!!!!!! Damn it it's camarslow!!!!!!

  • @phllcm3 camaros are one of the fastest american coupes, you probably drive a toyota or some shit

  • @EliteTbagger ay ay take it easy toyota has supra camaros nice too

  • VOLCANOOOoooo

  • my dad had the Z28 option, which he drag raced at Detroit Dragway. The car came with a set of headers but they were in the trunk and you had to install them after. Always found that very strange.

  • i dont think i can handle those headlights

  • Camaro's been kicking ass for 40 years!

  • "Back seat up! Back seat down!"

  • that volcano is just so random

  • lol at epic music

  • love it!... wtf does he say at 1:50

  • @aza454 i think he says "camaro, mean and moving."

  • @aza454 He says "Mean and Molten"

  • LOVE IT lmao

    makes me think if i buy that im the muh fuggin batman

  • why does this come off as a bad star trek episode.

  • Dette er bilhistorie! Hadde jeg sett denne først, hadde jeg aldri kjøpt en 68 mod. Camaro.

  • nice car gay ass rims

  • 1967 ad. GM spent alot of money on this ad and it shows.

  • Fuck, why can't car commercials be like this today :/

    I want to see shit rise from a volcano again :(

    oh wait, I can just replay this video :)

  • wut year is this, like wut year did gm put out the camaro's?

  • @296jayce first camaro was a 1967

  • @corvetteracer916 oh ok, thanx, and do u think that ford is better than chevy?

  • @296jayce I wont say that one is better than the other. They both make great vehicles but in my personal opinion i say Chevy all the way

  • @296jayce Camaro debuted in Sept. of 1966. When it was first being developed, they had it slated to be named Panther, but then changed it to Camaro.

  • GO CHEVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    CAMAROS ARE AWSOME

  • @TheChevelleSS396 NO LIE ON THAT!!!

  • i like the 2010 one better

  • Dude, commercials were way better back in the 60's and 70's! Back seat up, back seat down. Hey, if your'e an adult, you don't fit in the back seat of a Camaro.

  • @bean420man I fit in the backseat of a Camaro fine. My brother has a 2009 Camaro, I'm 30, 5'8 170 pounds and I fit in the backseat of it fine.

  • @CubsFan2812 I know an adult can fit, I've fit before, but tell me this would you be more comfortable in the backseat of a Camaro or a Cadillac? And also, I think the 5th Gen Camaros are the roomiest yet, try fitting COMFORTABLY in an older Camaro.

  • that was awesome ,,ive owned three camaros so far

  • camaros are badass. the only people i see driving ford mustangs are fat ugly women. i just dont get it.

  • new safety feature introduced steel that way your shit dont break

  • Oh my god, HIDEAWAY HEADLIGHTS? GOTTA GET ME ONE!

  • Camaro! loaded with saftey features! Camaro! bulky body to surround the 350 engine! Camaro!!...Camaro!!

    my heaadd.!!

  • jesus christ you can tell this was made before the 30 second commercial rule

  • @allegedretribution The 30 second commercial rule was so that TV stations could sell more commercials, and make more money. Back then you only had 7-10 minutes of commercials every hour instead of todays 20-25.

  • @allegedretribution What gave it away? the fact that it's 2 minutes long?? Geez

  • @73xlh yes...? im saying theres not a new commercial over 30 seconds. this vid is long lol

  • @allegedretribution

    lol, they made a movie about it

  • Back seat up and down was a good sales gimic, it never went through to the trunk like Mustang.

  • This commercial makes me feel old and stupid lol

  • A car like that (if you could find one) is worth probably $60K ...Volcano not included...

  • @jonesey5168 lmao

  • The commercial is so loud and obnoxious.

  • WoW. That music is something out of "Planet of the apes" or

  • "Sporty rear deck"....sounds fancy for, "Nice ASS"!!!!

  • kino

  • thanks for sharing! very interesting!

  • Shut up people, mustangs are cool too. I've always been a Trans Am guy myself but them mustangs can blow you away. Mustang Started in '65 and is still going almost 50 years later. Camaro started in '67 then stopped in '02. and has just now got back up and running. You see women in them because women go crazy for mustangs. They'd go crazy if a guy was driving one too.

  • @81TransAmJunkie You're an idiot, as well as a disgrace to everything Trans Am.

  • @fadetoblack1290 Shut you're damn mouth, what the hell is wrong with saying Mustangs are cool. Like I said I'm in to Trans Ams but i'm man enough to say that mustangs are doing better that the Trans Am.

  • @81TransAmJunkie haha, that's cute. Mustangs are doing better than Trans Ams because everyone in the US is a retard like you and thinks they are better and faster, which they aren't. Ofcourse a car that sells 100 times as many as a T/A is doing "better". You're an idiot.

  • @fadetoblack1290 hey dipshit by doing better I meant they sold better dumbass.

  • @81TransAmJunkie Hey dipshit that's EXACTLY what I said, dumbass. Your comment just proved I'm right about how Mustang lovers are (retarded). Learn how to read.

  • @fadetoblack1290 I know that's what you said but that's kinda what I said in my other messages. When I said Mustangs are doing better, I meant they sold better.

  • @81TransAmJunkie Still a disgrace, and still stupid.

  • @fadetoblack1290 ok I want you to tell me what exactly is wrong with saying mustangs are cool.

  • 1967 ....GM spent a ton of money on this ad.

  • Pure insanity! I love it.

  • Car ads were so much better in the old days.

  • Actually this is NOT the first ever Camaro commercial ever produced. I very distinctly remember seeing the commercial in which the Camaro was introduced to the public...the car was covered and a cowboy with a bullwhip kept knocking away pieces of the cover until the car was completely exposed. It was a very memorable commercial and I remember thinking at the time that the Camaro was the best looking car to come out of Detroit.

  • very immature comments.mostly from those who did not grow up around either of these cars...salute

  • this car is infinitely more awesome than the new camaro. the new one is a great retro car but its nothing like the old ones

  • Don't know if I could handle those hideaway headlights, or that big car engine. Camaro ... lean and moulty. What's "moulty"? Seriously, this muscle car was one fast vehicle. If what's left of Chevrolet could produce this car today, it would sell like hot cakes, despite the fact that many got wrapped around telephone poles. Automobile advertisers during the space race often played on aerospace themes to sell cars, but the volcano treatment tells us this car is red hotand so it was.

  • when do these come out?

  • @mcelfreshiii 44 years ago.

  • 1967

  • what with the super hero voice

  • @jCarqusetd I can't remember his name, but he did the Chevy commercial voice overs for quite a few years, staring in the early 60's.

  • whats with the damn volcano? it has nothing to do with the camaro

  • Shure , the Camaro was volcano-birth, dont you see that !

    This is the real Camaro -

  • I just wish, gm wouldn't have killed Pontiac, & Build The Fire Bird / Trans Am.

    That would've been awsome!

    Y'all have a Good One & Try to

    keep it between the ditches / Snow Drifts!

  • Irwin Allen commercial

  • this is what a sports car is supposed to be: badass and powerful, not fuel efficient.

  • 1967 Camaro was a great, really exciting car, I was a kid when the Camaro was first introduced for 1967, my uncle went out and bought the RS and owned it until 1975 when he traded it in for the worst Mustang ever made, the bland Mustang II which a total styling disaster. He should have kept the '67 Camaro RS.

  • @RebelStangII this is half true...mustang is JUST NOW winning the pony war

  • Ha Ha! Not! 60's & early 70's,

    Mustang Won On & Off the Track!

    Mid to late 70's Trans Am Had it.

    80's sucked for Mustang,

    i hated the eurotrash look.

    I know Firebird/Trans Am & Camero/Z28 were cuasins, But the Firebird had the Looks & Style of a Great Car.

    94/95 The Mustang Came Back!

    & Kicked Ass! Though the New Challenger Looks Pretty Good!

    Have a Good One! NO Matter What You Drive! & Definatly,

    Keep it between the ditches!

  • @RebelStangII Actually in 1969 the camaro stomped all over the mustang in the trans am series.

  • Why the fuck do you type like that?

  • @fireadept007 )

    Why the Hell do you type like you do?

    Dumbass!

  • u see shitstangs around every corner, and what is funny is that i always only see girls driving them, what does that tell ya??

  • @Coolkid89383 WRONG BITCH!!!! Women like guys who drive them.

  • @Coolkid89383 I am far from gay and I drive two of them.

  • @Coolkid89383 Dude do you want to know why they chose not to make the Mustang a main transformer? Because the movie is gay and horrible and so is the Camaro however the only ones I like were the originals. The Camaro plays the role of "BumbleBee" now is that gay or what? Yes there are V6 Pony Package Mustangs that are for girls but a V8 Shelby or GT or Mach 1 are guys cars.

  • @Coolkid89383 LOL In the early 2000's the Camaro had a big bad 5.7L that only make 310 hp! HORRIBLE! The Mach 1s made the same power with the 4.6. There was no need to make the Mustang more powerful from 2005-2009 because there was no competition moron. When the Challenger and Camaro came back the new 5.0 comes back to crush both of them. And of course the Camaro looks like trash.

  • @Coolkid89383 what was the 310 hp engine then? LS2? What power output was the LS1? You can't compare the Corvette to the Shelby. The Corvette is a two seater sports car while the Shelby is a Muscle car. A fair match up would be the Corvette and the FORD GT.

  • @Coolkid89383 I always thought the T-Bird was a sports car. Ford made that to compete with the Corvette.

  • @Coolkid89383 It failed so it was turned into a full size car.

  • @Coolkid89383 I thought it was cheap that it used the exact same interior as the Lincoln LS even though I am a Ford dude. Ford should of came up with something unique/retro like what the Mustang has to put in the T-Bird.
