Saturday September 17th we took a field trip to Classic Rides and Rods in Annandale. We gathered our Camaro's in Plymouth and cruised to Annandale. We saw lots of great rides there. Afterward we headed for lunch at Madigan's Pub & Grill. We hope you can join us for our next Tech Event on October 29th.
The weekend of September 9-11, several club members headed out for our annual trek to The Shed in Warroad, Minnesota for the 11th year. Members helped to clean cars, started the cars, exercised them, changed batteries, did some carburetor work, and overall enjoyed a great car collection from club member, Bob Marvin. Thanks for having us up to help and enjoy your collection!
On August 27th we had a cruise-in at the Landmark Senior housing in Fridley. There were cars, ice cream, and live music. What more could you ask for. A big thanks to everyone who came.
Saturday, August 13th we held our Certifit Summer Classic Car Show--Under the Stars. We had over 70 show cars and many spectators for our last show of this season. To satisfy our appetites for something other than cars (can you imagine anything better than cars), the Gentz Family Smoke Pit food truck kept everyone satisfied.

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...

Former Gold, Now Orange Camaro From the Mile-High City, Is Looking for a Driver
By Tudor Serban July 25, 2022
This Camaro had a different color than it wore when it left the factory in 1969, and yet, this doesn't matter anymore if you'll see it and hear it down the streets. Moreover, it spent its last five years in Colorado, where the dry air kept the rust away from this beauty.
It was the last production year for the first generation of the Camaro, and Chevrolet produced almost a quarter of a million units since the automaker had some issues with the production for the second generation of this nameplate. But it was also the last facelift for this model, and some say it was the best...

Lego's New Camaro Z28 Set is Stunningly Lifelike
By Brian Silvestro July 12, 2022
Most Lego car sets are cool, but sometimes they can be a bit wonky. They're made from plastic bricks, after all, so it's hard to expect them to look exactly like the car they're replicating. The company's newest set, though, is stunningly lifelike.
Lego unveiled a set on Tuesday replicating the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. Using a total of 1458 bricks, the car spans 14 inches long, 5.5 inches wide, and 3.5 inches tall. It's incredibly detailed, with rolling wheels and a full interior. The set even features a working steering wheel and closing doors. Builders will be able to customize their Z28 with racing stripes in red, grey, or white. You can even build it as a convertible and choose between displayed or hidden headlights.
