Chevrolet is in the middle of celebrating its 100^th anniversary. You might have previously read that part of the festivities involved an online poll to determine which model represents the best Chevy of all time. Perhaps you were even one of the 124,368 enthusiasts who logged onto the special Chevrolet website to cast your vote.

Well, the thousands upon thousands of votes have been counted. Drum roll, please... The best Chevrolet of all time is the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro.  Coming in at second best: the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. See the trend here? Enthusiasts who participated demonstrate a definite penchant for retro muscle cars.

To honor the driver-voted best Chevy of all time, the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, Biggers Chevrolet, would like to share a snippet from Chevy, available at http://www.chevrolet.com/100-years/best-chevy-of-all-time-winner/."By 1969, the [Chevrolet] Camaro was extremely popular," Chevy writes. "And though this was the final year of the Camaro's original iconic design, it went out with flying colors. The '69 [Chevy] Camaro paced at the Indianapolis 500 for the second time.  It was the first and only year the legendary aluminum ZL1 engine was offered and the Z28 SS/RS performance package qualified the '69 Camaro to compete in the Trans-Am racing series. It's still considered one of the hottest-looking rides of the classic muscle car era..."¹

The detail Biggers Chevrolet finds most interesting about the '69 Chevy Camaro has to do with performance. While the hot car was rated to deliver a healthy 290 horsepower, it actually tested at 400 hp. Of course this makes us wonder at the disparity between the official rating and the '69 Camaro's test capabilities. But, that is perhaps a mystery we will never know the answer to.
