This Next-Gen Camaro ZL1 Lego Set Is a Nice Ageless Gift for NASCAR Enthusiasts
By Bogdan Bebeselea January 6, 2023
LEGO is one of those things that can bring adults and kids together as one. Just like animated movies or fireworks, it is something one can enjoy regardless of age...
Next up on LEGO’s list of great sets is the company’s collaboration with NASCAR. It will come in the shape of the next-gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and it is really good. Well, at least as good as a 672-piece set can look.
If you think 672 sounds like an oddly specific number of bits we have to assemble, then you’re not alone. I thought the same thing and, while it could be just a coincidence, it could be a nod at the 670 horsepower (680 ps) that NASCAR cup cars are limited to.

Tick-Tock! 1968 Chevy Camaro Z28 With Racing History and Matching Livery Could Be Yours
By Humphrey Bwayo November 10, 2022
Even though Chevrolet built 235,000 units of the 1968 Camaro, the American classic is still a rare bird by today’s standards. Out of the total production, 159,000 units were base models, 41,000 units were RS’, and the gem of the pack, the Z28, accounted for 8,000 of the total production.
Seeing the 1968 Z28 Camaro in immaculate condition is bound to provoke a lot of emotion, especially for car enthusiasts conversant with its muscle heritage. But the Z28 you see here holds a little more history than its manufacturer-given rights.

The Valley's Last Camaro
By Andrew Warren and Tim Moore August 29, 2022
Improbably, the best monument to the old General Motors assembly plant in Van Nuys, California, sits in a garage in Jamestown , North Dakota--the final car produced at the facility that in its 44 years of operation manufactured 6.3 million automobiles and employed thousands in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.

2024 Chevrolet Camaro: Motors, Power, Price, On Sale, Rendering, and More
By Scott Evans July 25, 2022
Chevy’s next Camaro—if it’s even called that—appears certain to be a high-performance electric sedan.
WHAT IT IS: An all-electric performance model, reported to be a sedan and effectively a replacement for the two-door Camaro. It may retain the Camaro name, as Chevrolet has recently used the Blazer moniker on a crossover that bears no resemblance to historical models.
WHY IT MATTERS: Parent company GM is transitioning all its brands to electric vehicles during the next 13 years, performance models included...
