Phil, you and I have had 'this' roof-line discussion before. I agree that...

... this DM '67 is probably the most correct overall - including the roof-line.

BUT... DM got their '69 pretty dang close too.
My own preference for the '69 is the NON-vinyl-top hardtop. I've got the DM silver-COPO, the Yenko, the pro-street... and my personal favorite...the '69 Z/28-RS / Dusk Blue (DM1560).
The Dusk Blue car is seldom seen or talked about. In the past, some guys supposedly had rash issues with it too. The one I got off the secondary market is fine...so far...knock wood.

The 'other' issue that has been discussed are the headlights on the standard front grill. Those are tough to get 'right' too - I guess.

PICS-Beautiful, Phil M2 captured the image pretty well on their '69's.

Better than the Mints lol.

PICS-I think M2 probably captured the overall image better than anyone in 1/24. JMHO though lol. I have this one as well. I did change the interior color from black to parchment.

Headlights and tail lights look right too.

LOL, Billy you are correct, besides the interior color change the only other thing was I removed the tampo from the roof.

Always liked the styling of the Camaro over the Mustangs in the 60's.

John, they do make some super nice models. Type in M2 on Ebay and check them out. Or go to their web site.
