I remember an early Camaro that was blue. It stuck out for me because my A Sedan Racing Camaro was originally blue before I painted it Porsche India Red Lacquer.
When I first bought my blue Camaro in 1978, it had a Hi-Perf 427 Motor with a M22 "Rockcrusher" Transmission.
Not long after getting the car, Dave Gainey and I went to test it's acceleration driving up Beverly Glen on the steep uphill. By the time we were half way up we had reached about 100mph.
All of a sudden...BOOM! The aluminum Tunnel Ram with two 750cfm Carbs blew off and took the front hood with it. Dave and I were surprised, LOL.
Had it towed home and later installed an LT-1 IROC small block. Much better for handling, less weight. Also installed a fiberglass hood that looked original.
