From the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe to the 2002 Anniversary edition, from Pace Cars to IROC-Zs, the history of the Chevy Camaro has been a wild ride. Fast, fun and fabulous!

The first Chevrolet Camaros started rolling off the assembly line and into dealerships in late 1966, GM's answer to the Mustang. More than 220,000 were sold in this introductory year, including over 25,000 convertibles. Base price for a 6-cylinder coupe was slightly more than $2400.00. This "First Generation" of Camaros lasted from 1967 to 1969 and introduced the Z28 to the automotive world. 1970 to 1981 saw the "Second Generation" and the loss of the convertible option although T-Tops were available from 1978 on. For the 1982 model year, the Camaro was re-styled and the "Third Generation" was born. The "Fourth Generation" started in 1993 and has continued until the announcement of the discontinuation of the Camaro line in 2002. Now a fifth generation will soon start.
