SUPERCHARGED PANTHER

What started out as a GM project car in 1965 has become one of the rarest Camaros ever. 

Only one or two of these sleek Black Panther Chevy Camaros are known to exist today. Fewer than 50 were originally custom-produced in 1967 by the Toronto-based Gorries Chevrolet/Oldsmobile dealership.

 In 1965 when Ford was in the process of developing the Mustang, GM began working on a car that would reach the emerging youth market of that time.The public quickly latched on to the name "Panther" as GM's Mustang fighter. However, seeking a "clammier" image in order to stray away from the aggressive image of the panther, the marketing team came up with the name "camaro," meaning "warm friend." In 1967, amidst the phenomenal success of the Ford Mustang, General Motors pulled off a sensational introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro by delivering over 212,000 units to dealer showrooms that year. A limited number of Camaro's were modified into Panther Editions, which were recognized by their black body and gold strip around the nose. A Black Panther nameplate was fixed on the front fender and rear deck lid, and a gold pinstripe was added just below the bodyline. Out of the 50 produced, only 2 are known to exist today, with the rest unaccounted for. (FirstGenCamaro)
