What Car Does Guy Fieri Drive in Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
According to Alt Driver, Fieri drives a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible. And it truly is a thing of beauty.
However, it is important to note that Fieri drove a ’67 in earlier episodes before switching to the ’68 we know and love.
American muscle car enthusiasts on the General Motors Facebook page are quick to point out the key differences between these two models.
Specifically, the ’67 has wind wings in the door windows, while the ’68 does not have this feature.
The ’68 also has rectangular side marker lights on the front fender and on the rear of the vehicle, which slightly changes the design, but is only noticeable to classic muscle car aficionados with a careful eye.
Keep in mind that the ’68 has been expertly restored and has a variety of modifications, including a brand-new engine that makes it stand out from any other classic.
Simply put: this eye-catching vehicle is one-of-a-kind and adds a taste of authentic Americana to an already awesome show.
What Happened to the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible Guy Fieri Drove in Earlier Episodes?
According to Fans of Guy Fieri, David Page, the ex-producer of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, was the owner of the ’67 Camaro SS. In 2011, he auctioned off the vehicle on eBay Motors, which led producers to switch to the ’68 Camaro SS.
It is unknown who currently owns this stunning vehicle.
Who Owns the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Although Fieri has a deep love for classic cars and a special affinity for Chevrolets, it’s unknown whether he actually owns the ’68 Camaro SS currently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
However, Fieri has an impressive collection of cars, ranging from jeeps to classic muscle cars. He owns a Pontiac Firebird, a ’69 Chevrolet Corvette, a Jeep CJ-5, and many more.
Is Guy Fieri Actually Allowed To Drive the Car on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
In the early days of the show, Fieri drove the vehicle himself and you can really see his appreciation for classic cars in the way he handles the ’67. However, now it is transported in a covered trailer between shooting locations.
It is reported that a crew member drives the car to the specific restaurant destination and then Fieri is filmed opening the door and getting out.
All we can say is we hope he enjoyed the early days of the show when he could actually get behind the wheel!

According to Showbiz Cheat Sheets, the ’68 Camaro is estimated to be worth over $100,000, which includes the cost of pricey upgrades such as the Z502 crate engine (505-hp), which clocks in at a whopping 567 pounds. Wow!
We’ve even heard a rumor that the engine upgrades cost over $11,000.
Comparatively, according to Hot Cars, an excellent condition 67′ Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible is worth $40,000, but some in pristine condition have sold for upwards of $100,000.
What Car Will Guy Fieri Drive in Future Episodes?

Both the ’67 and ’68 are beloved vehicles that embody the essence of a wild, free, and food-filled American road trip. Here’s to many more seasons!
