Jay Leno drives a lost and found 1969 Camaro Z/28
There should be an asterisk To follow what is "destined" is pronounced "ultimately". Some people find someone else they are meant to be with after years of failed relationships, bad dates, and periods of loneliness. Others don’t discover what career they should pursue until they go back to college after a few bad jobs. Glenn Stearns founded mortgage lending company Stearns Lending LLC and was the star of the first season of Discovery Channel's "Undercover Billionaires." But when he was a teenager, he was just a boy who needed a car. His father told him he knew one that could do the job, but it would require some engine work. The two eventually put a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 RS back on the road. Maybe they did too good a job with the 302 under the hood, since Stearns got a lot of tickets on his high school car. He was already the father of a young child and had…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1987 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
of all americans Among the high-performance cars of the 1980s, the Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z was one of the coolest cars, even though it still seems to have its share of jokes. The fact that I grew up during that time period does tend to predispose me to comments like this, but in the 1980s, Chevy sold thousands of IROCs to people 10 years older than me, and they all loved the car. IROC is so 1980s and RadWood that when you look at one of these you can almost hear Ratt's "Round and Round" on the stereo. Furthermore, the Camaro IROC-Z is a pretty serious performance car that announces to the world that American performance cars are back and here to stay. Heck, some of the world's most famous racers drive IROC-Zs on the circuits of the International Championship Series, the series from which the cars are named. The downside is that over time many of these cars have been…

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
"A word or two "Get in the race," one magazine ad said of the 1969 Camaro. "You lost." Some 55 years later, the muscle cars of the late 1960s are still thrilling, neck-breaking, and rubber-burning.

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1970 Chevrolet Camaro RS
To me, the best Camaro ever The most advanced ever is the second generation model with the RS head. This car combines everything that was great about the original Camaro and adds stunning European styling that has never been improved upon, as well as more interior creature comforts. It was an instant hit and its basic design remained in use until 1981.

Death of the Camaro: Here are the 12 greatest Camaros of all time
This is the second time in historythe Camaro is dead. Chevrolet discontinued the Camaro in 2002 after a 32-year run, then resurrected it in 2010 but stopped production again after the 2024 model year. Rumor has it that it will return as an electric performance car, possibly a sedan. Only time will tell, but if that's the case, the Camaro will have to maintain the style and performance that fans have loved since 1966. During its lifespan, the Camaro went through six generations, each with its own special model that further raised the already high performance benchmark.

A perfect 1969 Camaro Z/28?
In this officeI hate to use the word "iconic." It's a word often repeated by unreliable automotive sites that have little understanding of the natural order of cars, and I want to move beyond that. However, if there is one muscle car that can be considered iconic, the 1969 Camaro is it. Let's be honest, the 1969 Camaro wasn't a muscle car, it was a pony car. But if it was a Camaro Super Sport, COPO 427s, or a Z/28, you had a pony car that was a muscle car. While the Z/28 fell short in cubic inches compared to its small-block and big-block brethren, it was still one of the most popular muscle cars on the market. Fortunately for some, over 20,000 were produced, but unfortunately for others, the Z's homologation history made it more expensive than its cubic inches would suggest.
