GM announced the end of the Camaro in January 2024 with a very limited production run that most probably wont get due to to allocations. I figured it was time to get one so here it is.2023 ZL1 ![]() | ||

I'm Ford for life, but the later variants of the Camaro have been sexy.

My first car was a '77 Z28. Always been a Camaro fan since I saw that green '68 convertible with white rally strips drive by the playground in grade school. Bob Carpe Scrotum | |||

Thank you Very little ![]() |
Nice purchase, SIL has one, not the ZL model, drives great but it's a PIA to get in and out of, he's 6 ft 5 and I don't know how he fits but he does. Last Camaro I had was a 77 Type LT, drove it in high school for a year they call it Firethorn Red but it was more of a "burnt orange" color, ![]() | |||

I've thought the same thing and hate it for that very reason.

I too have always been a Ford guy, never even sat in a Camaro. But yeah, this truly qualifies as an "End of an era" happening. Kind of sad, actually. | |||

My father gave me his ‘67 Camaro when I graduated college. Drove it for years until I moved to Florida. No AC and black seats relegated it to winter-only driving there after many summer seat searing experiences! | |||

Again? Oh no. Well, anyway. The Camaro used to be a "working man's car", but then some at GM decided to elevate the higher trim models (SS, Z-28, etc.) to Corvette status, in a way. My first Camaro was a 1981 Z-28 that was de-smogged and had a 327ci/350HP camshaft, headers, tuned Q-jet, and shift kit in the TH350. Those mods made it pretty quick, and the "Air Induction" hood was cool. Downsides to that car were being black paint and interior and t-tops; I moved to Arizona for a short while. My next car was white. Second Camaro was a 1991 Z-28 with the 350CI L98 Corvette engine. That car was really fast. It had been a demo and had all the go-fast goodies on it and best of all, no t-tops. "Victory Red" with a gray interior. Unfortunately, someone tried to steal it and damaged the interior some. Traded it in for a 4-door S-10 Blazer when we started having kids. Third (and current) Camaro is a 1968 Rally Sport (hideaway headlights) that is currently disassembled and in storage. Original "LeMans Blue" 327ci / 4 speed car. I plan to build the engine closely to Z-28 302ci specs. I have a Muncie M20 and 12 bolt to go in the car. I already have most of the parts to restore it, just still working and have no time right now. | |||

You know you've got to show us the inside and make a sound clip of that sweet engine. | |||

Kinda sad but the real old school Camaro's were something else. ![]() | |||
|
Thank you Very little ![]() |
I would not be surprised to see it resurrected in a few years as a supercar EV Camaro, similar to Dodge's Challenger. | |||

Good choice. That will be a collector car in the future. Great handling, great brakes and big power = tons of fun to drive. | |||

Every time my 13 year old sees a Camaro, he points it out by saying, “Look Dad, it’s the new Mustang!” | |||

So far I really like it I had a Viper but could no longer get in and out of it. | |||

Shit don't mean shit |
Nice, but we need more info! I'm not a Camaro guy so I had to look up what a ZL1 was. Is it the ZL1 1LE? 6.2L supercharged V8? Manual or automatic? Other interesting things? Inquiring minds want (need) to know! Looks like a great/different color! | |||

That's sad. I got a 78 Camaro when I was 15. At 18 it was a 1980 Z28, then a 67 convertible two years later. I sold that one a few years later. Then, no more Camaros. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||
