Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro debuted for the 1967 model year, giving GM a direct competitor to the Ford Mustang. First-generation cars (1967-1969) are icons of the muscle car era, with performance packages like the Z/28 and SS establishing the car's performance credentials from the start. After a long production run through 2002, the Camaro took a hiatus before returning in 2010 with a popular retro-styled fifth generation, re-igniting the pony car wars.

Collectors prize first-generation models, particularly rare, big-block SS cars and the track-focused Z/28. Special order COPO 427 models represent the peak of the market, with documented examples trading for over $1 million. In recent years, 1980s IROC-Z models have become collectible, and modern, limited-production cars like the fifth-gen Z/28 and sixth-gen ZL1 1LE are seen as future classics. The Camaro's long history and wide range of models offer an entry point for almost any enthusiast.

The market for Camaros is incredibly diverse, supported by 2,638 recent sales. While the average price sits near $43,000, that figure is pulled up by six- and seven-figure sales of rare early cars. The majority of transactions involve fifth and sixth-generation V8 models, which offer modern performance at an accessible price point. Well-preserved third and fourth-generation Z28 and SS models are also seeing steady appreciation.

Prices range from a few thousand dollars for project cars to over $1,815,000 for concours-quality, rare COPO variants.
