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.



Anybody happen to know what issue of Muscle Car Review this article is from?

period photo---------It also answers the question of the White camaro---Joel had said it was a gold color , but wasn't sure if it was a 350 or 396--this article confirms both questions --- --I think Supercar kid was leaning towards a 350----Erik you win a cookie
