Despite ominous predictions of the collapse of the pony car market, and development delays, the new
Camaro was released with much fanfare and much success late in the 1970 model year. Most of the credit
went to the new styling, which was European-inspired (some would say "Ferrari inspired") and would
prove so popular that it would last until 1982. Still based on the Nova, the new Camaro was two inches
longer and had five inch longer doors, and was now available only as a coupe (no convertible).
It featured a new A-arm front suspension and better noise insultation. Under the hood, the proposed
new 454 blocks never made it and the Camaro SS continued with the 350 and 396 engines. After January
1970, however, the 396 engines no longer displaced 396 cubic inches. Chevrolet actually enlarged them
to 402 cubic inches but the executives decided to name it the 396 to take advantage of the name
recognition and avoid any attention from insurance carriers.
The Rally Sport, Super Sport, and Z28 packages were still available. The Super Sport option included a
special black grill, hidden wipers, power brakes, engine trim, white-letter tires, chrome dual exhausts,
and the SS396 also came with black-painted trunk panels and a special suspension.
