This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible wears factory Ermine White over Bright Blue, and the Rally Sport package on the nose says nothing at all about what is under the hood. RS was a roughly $105 appearance option with hidden headlights and revised taillights, nothing more. This one carries a 327 V8, a floor-shifted Powerglide, a power top and a console. Read on to find out why cars ordered this way often survive better than the four-speeds.
This 1969 Camaro looks like an ordinary used-lot survivor, but it’s actually a genuine ‘Double COPO’ — one of roughly 40 built with both the 427 L72 big-block and the Sports Car Conversion Package, sold through Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids. Read on to find out how a fleet-vehicle paperwork loophole created some of the most valuable Camaros on the planet.
The Chevrolet Camaro was born out of a joke-filled 1966 press conference and an urgent need to answer Ford’s two-year head start with the Mustang. Six generations, one long production gap, and a homologation-special Trans-Am engine later, the rivalry it started still hasn’t cooled off fifty years on. Read on for the full story behind the badge.
Coyote Classics in Greene, Iowa has built a genuinely engaged following around its rotating inventory of Chevelles, Camaros, Mustangs, and GTOs — including a blue Dodge Super Bee that commenters are practically begging the shop not to modify. See what’s currently on the lot, and why regulars keep coming back to argue about it in the comments.
Chevy didn’t build the 2014 Camaro Z/28 to win drag races — it built it to be the fastest Camaro around a road course, even if that meant giving up horsepower to its own ZL1 sibling. Strip away the back seat and most of the sound deadening, and what’s left is a 505-horsepower track weapon. Read on to find out how a car built to be slower in a straight line ended up faster where it actually counted.
A first-gen Camaro convertible rolls up with a push-button ignition and an exhaust note that has nothing to do with 1969 — and everything to do with a build philosophy that swaps factory nostalgia for modern grip and driveability. This pro-touring ’69 keeps the silhouette everyone loves while quietly replacing everything underneath it. Read on to find out what it actually takes to make a 55-year-old convertible drive like new money.
For the Camaro’s 50th anniversary, Chevrolet didn’t settle for a badge and a paint stripe. The sixth-generation car arrived smaller, sharper-handling, and backed by a lineup running from a 275-horsepower turbo-four up to a 455-horsepower SS V8, with a new ZL1 added specifically for the occasion. Here’s what made the anniversary edition — and the platform underneath it — genuinely worth the celebration.
This 1967 Camaro convertible trades its long-gone factory small-block for a 383 stroker, backed by a TH350 automatic, Hugger Orange paint, and enough chassis work to put real power down. Convertibles were already the rarer first-gen Camaro body style before anyone touched the drivetrain. Read on to find out what it takes to build a driver-focused first-gen right.
This 1970 Camaro’s split front bumper is one of the most misunderstood details in the entire pony car world, and this candy-painted, big-block example backs the look up with a full custom interior from Steve Holcomb’s shop. Read on to find out where the split bumper actually came from, and why it can’t tell you what’s really under the hood.
Chevrolet’s brand-new Camaro needed a real performance engine to compete with the Mustang in 1967, and the answer was a small block nobody had seen in a showroom before: the Turbo-Fire 350. Read on to find out why this debut engine mattered so much, and how it set the stage for everything the Camaro nameplate became.
This 2010 Camaro SS runs an LS3 pushed to 840 rear-wheel horsepower through a ProCharger centrifugal supercharger with a nitrous shot stacked on top, numbers that would embarrass most cars leaving a modern dealership floor. What actually separates this build from the dozens of boosted Camaros that grenade on their third pull is what happened to the internals long before the dyno ever spun up. Read on to find out what it took to make that kind of power survive.
This 1969 Camaro wears the Pro Street look in its purest form — a blower punching through the hood, tubbed rear wheels stuffed with wide slicks, and a 521-cubic-inch Hemi combination capable of mid-8-second quarter miles at close to 180 mph. Read on to find out what it actually takes to build one this aggressive.
By 1973 the original muscle car war was already over, and this Challenger-versus-Camaro pairing shows exactly how each company handled the retreat. Dodge dropped its six-cylinder but lost every big-block option in the process, while Chevrolet quietly kept a spread of 350 V8s alive. Read on to find out which nameplate blinked first — and why survivors from this unglamorous model year are finally getting collector attention.
Chevrolet actually builds two distinct 1LE track packages on the Camaro, a 335-horsepower V6 version and a 455-horsepower SS version, sharing the same Magnetic Ride Control suspension and Brembo brakes but differing underneath in ways most buyers never notice. Read on to find out how the V6 1LE holds its own against far pricier machinery on a demanding circuit like Willow Springs.
