Better off Dead Camaro

5. ‘Better off Dead’ (1985) – 1967 Camaro RS/SS

If you have not seen this movie, go watch it right after you finish reading this list. It is a classic 1980s comedy that is quotable to this day. And the 1967 Camaro RS/SS in the film is a central character.

In the beginning we see it as a rotting wreck on the front lawn. But it is restored with the help of a foreign exchange student and makes a fabulous entrance to the Muddy Waters blues song Mannish Boy. A memorable scene that makes anyone watching lust after the Camaro.

Joe has been obsessed with cars since he got his very first Matchbox toy in the 1970s. In 2003, he found a new obsession in track days that led to obtaining his SCCA competition license in 2015. In 2019, he became a certified driving instructor for the National Auto Sport Association. His love for all things four wheels has never wavered, whether it's driving some of the best cars in the world on the racetrack, tackling 2,000-mile road trips in 2-seat sports cars or being winched off the side of a mountaintop in a Jeep. Writing for the suite of Internet Brands Auto Communities sites, including Rennlist.com, Ford Truck Enthusiasts, 6 Speed and more allows him to share that knowledge and passion with others.
