I agree. As long as we can keep the $$$ in the US, we're golden  |
Ok Shadow....here ya go!
I'll 'bookend' the Camaro production numbers that we talked about, from 1967 to 1972, with two Corvette production totals...for the 1966 (27,720) and 1973 (30,464) Corvette.
1967 Camaro: I6...58808, V8...162109, total...220917
1968 Camaro: I6...50937, V8...184178, total...235115
1969 Camaro: I6...65008, V8...178087, total...243095
1970 Camaro: I6...12566, V8...112323, total...124889
1971 Camaro: I6...11178, V8...103452, total...114630
1972 camaro: I6... 4824, V8... 63832, total... 68656
Grand total: 1,007,302
Now, for the Corvette using the same MY's...
1967 Corvette: 22940
1968 Corvette: 28566
1969 Corvette: 38762
1970 Corvette: 17316
1971 Corvette: 21801
1972 Corvette: 27004
Grand total: 156,389
Corvette totals were going up for the most part during these six model years of the Camaro, vice the 1970 production total of 17,316 for the Corvette...the lowest Corvette production the '67-'72 time frame. I recall lean times even then...I graduated high school in '72.
So, I don't think the introduction of the Camaro in '67 stole Corvette thunder. For the most part, Corvette numbers were on the rise...with the exception of the previously mentioned Corvette production year of '70. One thing I noticed...after 1969, numbers for both cars were trending down, yet still selling relatively well.
Pretty much 'one can draw their own conclusion Shadow. How do u 'see' these numbers??
