1966
Name that ponycar
MT’s cover car for this issue included artist drawings of what was billed as
Chevy’s Answer to Mustang. The Chevy Panther? Little was known of the upcoming sports car
at the time of writing, other than that it would be a two-door, four-passenger car with a long hood,
short rear deck, and an engine lineup that would start with the Chevy Six and may work up to the
396-cubic-inch V-8.
By the time of its release a few months later, the Panther had a change of identity to Camaro.
