A front engine, solid axle, leaf spring car is hardly a 3rd gen Corvair.
The Camaro is admittedly good looking but really a technological
embarrassment.  Anyone with any pride in what they build shouldn't even
consider a leaf spring.  Bean counters on the other hand...  
They did have a 3rd gen Corvair in the works.

To my way of thinking - no proof of course - the 1967 Camaro IS the 3rd
generation Corvair.  The name changed - again no proof - so that the Corvair
"stigma" would not hurt sales AND so that GM could continue producing gen2
in spite of a well known safety advocate.

Strictly theory - no specific proof such as internal GM documents.
