Fantastic to see this one brought to light-well done and congrats dc! I'm away this week but looking forward to looking closely at this rare beauty.

Cool. I like the Champion logo. Was it a limited edition, so to speak?

Essentially made to order by Heuer. Pretty few and far between!

Congrats David, very cool.... totally displaying my pre 1985 ignorance here, but it looks a lot like a Monza to me!

As I said on the IG post... I'm always glad to lend a hand and/or enable another watch nut
Beautiful watch!

I agree- very similar case

A double grain GF would sure complement nicely

Now that's a good idea...just got to find one

I know nothing about Camaros but it shouldn’t hurt to complement the watch with this one
Perfect! Man & Machine

Or maybe this one from 1969

While we’re focused on the Camaro, what about this NOS Heuer Camaro Gold by @arnohaslinger

Chevy built the Camaro specifically to compete with the Ford Mustang. Unlike "Carrera", the word Camaro has no special meaning, other than being the name of Chevy's famous Mustang fighter. So I believe Heuer must have named this watch after the car, hence it's the perfect pairing.

But as I'm a Mustang owner, I am diametrically opposed to owning a Heuer Camaro! LOL

We need TAG Heuer to come up with a Mustang then, or maybe a Carrera Mustang Edition.

I know the perfect car for this watch

(not gold but seems very close )

the word Camaro has no special meaning

A Camaro is "a small, vicious animal that eats mustangs"

(according to 1960s ad lore)

I wish.

Finding one of these would be close enough, since my Mustang is a Shelby - albeit not a Shelby Cobra. The Shelby heritage connection is just another reason why I'm enamored with my dato!

‘69 302 is a dream car for me. That is gorgeous. Not to be fickle, but a ‘70 Boss 302 would be the bomb too. I’ll take one of each, w the mustang in Hugger O….Dodge School bus yellow, please.

If you're going '70 and dreaming why not just go Boss 429?

A school bus yellow Boss 302 would do just fine for me, handles better. But I'd certainly take a Boss 429 as well!

handles better.

Let's be honest, none of these 'vintage' US muscle cars handle in any way at all
