      A dumb Camaro question from a Ford guy

      Even though I'm a die hard Ford guy, I do love the '67-69 Camaros. Now I have a question that most Camaro folks will probably call silly, but I don't know the answer. What are the main differences in a '68 Camaro and a '69 Camaro? Mainly the big things, body, etc. Trim isn't that necessary.

      Looking for a new project

      Body as in sheet metal?

      69 has a lot different front facia/grill set up. Also the quarter pannels at all 4 corners are quite a bit different. 67-68 have round wheel openings while the 69 have a opening where it's more flattened off in the middle of the arc. That flat spot also caries into the body lines.

      Basically all outer facing sheetmetal and the grille are different. The hood and decklid are the same, but the spoilers differ. The gauge clusters are different as are the whole dash.

      Apart from that they are really the same.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      69' s are 1 1/2" wider. 68' s have a better dash layout and design...

      Now that the body differences have been pointed out, I can definitely see the difference. Thanks to all for the info.

      67/68's are for the ladies and the 69's are for the boys.

      Funny I like 68 over the 69 or 67.... The 69s dont appeal to me the body lines arent as pleasing as the 68... In my eyes and I reserve the right to have my own opinion with out arguments that my opinion is wrong..

      I also like the 68 better... I think the 69 has alot of 60's AMC qualities. I will have to say, I am not a lady either...
