Designed by Henry Haga, the second generation Camaro ran from 1970-81 the restyle produced a heavier, wider, and larger car than its predecessor. Known as the Super Hugger Still using the GM F body platform with a unibody construction, front subframe, an A arm front suspension and leaf springs to control the solid rear axle. The RS, SS and Z28 performance packages and the Z28 here received a 350 Ci engine upgrade.

 

The 1974 Camaro grew seven inches (178 mm) longer, thanks to new aluminium bumpers required to meet federal standards and a forward-sloping grille.

 

For 1975, a catalytic converter was added to the exhaust system of all US-market GM passenger cars, including the Camaro, the Air Injection Reactor secondary air injection system was still present. The catalytic emission control system was more efficient at reducing emissions than the previous non-catalytic system, and allowed engines to be retuned for improved drivability and fuel economy

 

For the 1979 model years the biggest changes were the introduction of the luxury-oriented Berlinetta model, replacing the Type LT, and a restyled instrument panel. The base models, RS and Z28 remained, Z28s now came with a front spoiler and fender flares much like its Pontiac Trans Am twin and large Z28 side decals. Sales for 1979 were the highest ever for any generation Camaro before or since
