the C2 would be a 1966 - because... Phillip's 66
the Big Block 427-cubic-inch, 425 hp V8 packed a lot of torque – 460 lb⋅ft




Easy to pick the 67 if you prefer the rally wheels
the L88 engine would be a big deal but only 20 of them were made so, really not an option

C3 would be 1970 - my first car was a 1970 Chevy Nova SS
LT1, a 350 cu in small-block V8 engine delivering a factory rated 370 hp. It was a solid lifter motor featuring a forged steel crankshaft, 4-bolt main block, 11:1 compression ratio, high-lift camshaft, low-restriction exhaust, aluminum intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor, and finned aluminum rocker covers.




Still had chrome bumpers

my friend had a 67 with hidden headlights - the one above is a 68
I had the 1970 Nova SS but was jealous of his 67 Camaro SS.
