COVER: If you're looking for the ultimate mind-bender, this is it! Phase III SS-427 Camaro is the only supercar offered in the world which is guaranteed to run 120 mph in 11.50 seconds or better on a sanctioned NHRA-AHRA quarter-mile track. A full-scale test appears Page 39 of this issue. The engine is the aluminum-head L-88 which is an extra-cost option on the Camaro.

Are you sure the car isn't British Racing Green? It can appear black..

That color photo on the magazine cover was shot under a blue sky. I think the car was black and it was reflecting the sky, grass, etc.

I know that nobody really cares about this car now... but here's another picture of it anyway.
