Chevrolet finally responded to the Mustang with the legendary Camaro in September 1966. The new Camaro was introduced as a 1967 model and by the end of the model year, 220,906 Camaros were produced. The 1967 Camaro was hugely...

Little changed for the second year of Camaro production. Minor changes were made to the front and rear of the car. The square headlights from the 1967 Camaro were replaced with rectangular ones. Side markers were added and the...

The Camaro received new sheet metal in 1969. The look was more angular than the two previous Camaros. Wheel wells were squared off, new front and rear ends were added and this all contributed to a longer and lower...

After the runaway success of Ford’s Mustang when it was introduced in 1964, Chevrolet quickly realized it had no car that could compete in the burgeoning pony car market. Sales of its “sporty” rear-engine Corvair were falling drastically, and...

While 1971 seemed essentially like a carryover from the newly restyled 1970 models, there were a few distinguishing features that make it easier to tell the two year models apart, in addition to the new engine calculations. Most noticeable...

Camaro production hit an all-time low up to that point in 1972, though this wasn’t purely a result of poor sales. At least not entirely. By 1972, Camaros were only being produced alongside the Firebird at a...
February 11, 2012
After dismal production numbers in 1972 (due in part to a GM workers strike), things began looking up for the Camaro in 1973. Though few major aspects of the car changed, many small feature and option changes distinguished the...

For 1974, the Camaro underwent a multitude of changes including the facelift, and almost all of them were inspired by new federal safety and emissions guidelines. The new aluminum bumpers on the front and the back were added to...
February 11, 2012
Other than the aforementioned rear window, the 1975 Camaro looked very similar to the 1974 Camaro that had been redesigned primarily to comply with new federal crash rating standards with 5 mph bumpers. Another notable, albeit less visible, feature...
February 11, 2012
With Camaros selling well in 1975 and better in 1976, Chevy saw little need to change very much at all about the 1976 model. In fact, on the exterior there were hardly any features to tell the two year...
February 11, 2012
With the exception of the newly reemerged Z28, the Camaro models changed very little from the 1976 models, or from the 1975 models, for that matter. But with Camaros continually selling more and more each year—a trend that started...
February 11, 2012
With the Camaro still selling particularly well, the car outsold the Mustang for the second year in a row. Therefore, Chevy was careful not to change very much about the car while still updating it slightly for the 1978...
February 11, 2012
Camaro took advantage of its ever-increasing sales and changed very little from the slightly restyled 1978 version. The most noticeable difference to the lineup was the introduction of the Berlinetta, though it didn’t vary that much from its Type...
February 11, 2012
With sales continually rising year and year since 1973, Chevy had made few changes to the styling of the second-generation Camaro other than those designed to comply with increasingly strict federal safety and fuel-economy standards. Other than that new...
February 11, 2012
The second-generation Camaro, which had changed relatively little since its introduction in 1970, saw relatively high sales for most of those years, particularly throughout the late 1970s. However, by the time the new decade rolled around, it became clear...
February 11, 2012
After declining sales in the final years of the life of the second-generation Camaros, the all-new third-generation was graciously welcomed. Motor Trend named it the 1982 car of the year, and it was selected as the Indy 500 pace...
February 12, 2012
Since the Camaro had been completely rebuilt from the ground up for the introduction of the car’s third-generation in 1982, the car saw very few changes in 1983. And though production dropped slightly, the car was still selling well...
February 12, 2012
Very few changes were made to the Camaro for the 1984 year model as compared to the previous two years. But the high sales numbers proved that the car was popular in its present form, so Chevy apparently didn’t...
February 12, 2012
1985 wasn’t a year of drastic change for the Camaro, but the minor facelift did prove that Chevrolet was still interested in tinkering with the car during a time of high sales numbers. The big news, however, was the...
February 12, 2012
While there weren’t drastic changes in the lineup this year, sales numbers were proving Camaro-buyers once again were interested in performance. It seemed that by 1986 the bad economy and the energy crises of the late 1970s were nearly...
February 12, 2012
Since the third-generation Camaros were introduced in 1982, sales numbers had slowly proven, year after year, that Camaro car-buyers were becoming once again interested in power and performance. Sales of the luxury model Berlinetta had declined to the point...
February 12, 2012
With Camaro sales declining in the previous couple years, it seems that Chevrolet wanted to make the 1988 models a simple offering to the public. With the decline of the Berlinetta luxury model and the rise of the IROC...
February 12, 2012
1989 was very much a carryover year for the Camaro, barring the introduction of the RS model, which was little more than a name change from the sports coupe of 1988. The RS did not stand for the Rally...
February 12, 2012
While the 1990 Camaro models looked basically identical to their 1989 counterparts from the outside, there were quite a few changes being made on the interior and under the hood. In addition to the driver-side airbag, leather seating also...
February 12, 2012
Since sponsorship of the International Race of Champions – from which Chevy had plucked the IROC name – went to Dodge in 1990, the name had to be retired at the end of 1989. Therefore, the 1990 production year...
February 12, 2012
The 1992 Camaro basically was a carryover from the previous year as Chevrolet got ready to roll out the new fourth-generation cars for the 1993 model year. There still were two basic models, the RS and the Z28, though...
February 12, 2012
Since it was on the same wheelbase and had many carryovers from the third-genreration models, it can’t be said that the fourth-gernation models were completely rebuilt, but they were definitely a new car, in both looks and feel, though...
February 12, 2012
Though there were few striking visible differences between the 1993 and 1994 Camaro models, minor changes all around the car proved that Chevy was still perfecting the model. In addition to the electronically controlled automatic transmissions, six-speed manual transmissions...
February 12, 2012
Though many of the features of the 1995 Camaros were carryovers from the previous year (and from 1993, for that matter), there were a few changes that made these models distinct. The body-colored roof options were notable this year...
February 12, 2012
The 1996 Camaro doesn’t look much different from the 1993 version that marked the introduction of the third-generation body style. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t quite a few differences, particularly, under the hood. Though it was introduced in...
February 12, 2012
From an exterior, visual perspective, little had changed on the Camaro since the introduction of its fourth generation in 1993. And though the car would get a mild update the following year, the only easy way to distinguish a...
February 12, 2012
After a relatively high sales year in 1997, Chevrolet decided to try its luck at slightly updating the exterior of the car while keeping prices nearly constant from the previous year. Gone were the inset square headlights that had...
February 12, 2012
With the minor restyle of the exterior in 1998, very little changed on the Camaro visually for 1999. The interior also had been freshened up for the 1997 model year, so things inside the car didn’t change very much,...
February 12, 2012
Much like the 1999 models, the 2000 Camaro models saw very little change at all. The exterior had been redesigned in 1998, and the interior had received an update the year before that, so Chevrolet was content to leave...
February 12, 2012
Chevrolet elected to change very few aspects of the interior or exterior of the Camaro from 1998 to 2002. Sales were steadily declining and it seemed the company didn’t want to invest any more money in what appeared to...
February 12, 2012
2002 was a bittersweet year for Camaros and their fans. While it marked the 35th anniversary of the car – the only pony car other than the Mustang to make it that long, it also marked the end. Or,...
March 20, 2009
It feels like the 1960’s all over again. Ford comes out with a wildly successful Mustang and Chevrolet and Dodge get their act together and design a pony car to compete. Dodge is building a handsome Challenger that take...
February 22, 2009
After the hiatus, it appeared that Chevy wanted to bring Camaro back with a bang – and did they ever. The car had quietly bowed out in 2002 in the face of declining sales and, according to GM, a...
February 15, 2012
After a successful reintroduction of the Camaro line in 2010 that had been absence since 2002, Chevy made some improvements for 2011, but on the whole left the car essentially as it was. The power addition to the V6...
February 15, 2012
Since the introduction of the fifth-generation Camaros in 2010, Chevy had been content to not change very much about the cars. Fortunately, however, they did continue to make minor improvements every year to keep the line fresh, which was...
