This is the fun part. Taking a Camaro apart requires no special skills; almost anyone can do it, even a novice mechanic. But a little pre-restoration planning will lessen the problems and headaches that can accompany a disorganized Camaro Project.

Before you embark on a Camaro restoration, you've got to own a Camaro, right? If you've already got a 1967-69 Camaro stashed in your garage, all the bet­ter, but if you're starting from scratch, you need to know the who's, what's, and where's of buying the right Camaro for your particular wants and needs. Camaro restora­tions can be fun and profitable, but if you dive into the project with the wrong car - rusted, faked or both - the restoration could turn into a personal and financial nightmare. Always re­member this golden rule of restoration: Don't buy a Camaro for restoration if the total cost of the car plus the total cost of the restoration will exceed the total current value of the Ca­maro when it is completed. 

The third-generation Camaro is certainly one of the most emblematic vehicles of the 1980s. Many of us who grew up in that era can still picture it in its heyday — the high school quarterback rolling up to a game in his red IROC-Z with T-tops open and Van Halen blasting on the stereo. These days, the third-gen is making a comeback as a relatively affordable classic car with a wide selection of restoration parts and performance upgrade choices. On a recent episode from the AutotopiaLA YouTube channel, Jack and his son Pete Avetisyan show off the 1991 Camaro Z28 they resto-modded, including Lamborghini orange paint and a vicious 700hp LS7 under the hood.

You are about to embark on a restoration journey that will transform a well-beaten 1969 Z/28 Camaro into a pristine show car. For this book, the staff of Car Review magazine selected, purchased, disassembled, restored, and reassembled an original LeMans Blue Z/28, one of the premier small-block musclecars of the sixties and a true collector vehicle of the eighties. Starting out with a much-abused example that was previously used as a lawn ser­vice tow vehicle, project engineer Bill Breidenbach brought the car back to life for a series of Car Review restoration articles.

When it comes to building, restoring, or upgrading an American pony or muscle car, few components influence both performance and personality quite like the carburetor. The Holley Street Warrior 600 CFM 4160 Carburetor - available at Classic Industries - delivers the perfect blend of reliability, drivability, and classic performance that enthusiasts have trusted for generations.

Whether you're dialing in a small-block Chevy, tuning a Ford 302, or breathing new life into a Mopar V8, this carburetor is designed to help your engine perform at its best - on the street where it belongs.

The word on the street is that Chevrolet will be unveiling the seventh Generation Camaro the latter part of 2027 as a 2028 Camaro! A prominent GM component supplier has confirmed (or leaked) this information to several automotive media entities via Automotive News. Both the Camaro and a new Buick are slated to be built alongside the next four-door Cadillac at GM’s Lansing, Michigan Grand River assembly plant. The Grand River assembly line is where the outgoing rear-wheel drive Alpha 2 platform Caddy CT4 and current CT5 are manufactured.

At Classic Industries, we love seeing enthusiasts keep the spirit of American muscle alive - and sometimes that passion shows up in threes. Customer Ed Miranda is building a remarkable collection of restomods that represents the heart of the American performance world: Mopar, Chevrolet, and Ford. His trio of classic muscle cars blends vintage styling with modern performance, all tied together by a patriotic theme honoring military service.

There are muscle cars - and then there are moments in time cast in American steel. The 1969 COPO Yenko Camaro prototype is the latter. More than a rare vehicle, it is the genesis point of factory-built Yenko performance, the car that opened the door for Chevrolet’s most feared street-and-strip Camaros. On January 17, 2026, at the Mecum Auctions Kissimmee, Florida sale, that legacy was permanently cemented when the prototype crossed the block for $1.65 million, with buyer’s premium bringing the final transaction to $1,815,000 - officially making it the most expensive Chevrolet Camaro ever sold.
