Current Event Photos
The Street Machine Nationals was held July 19-21. Our Club had a great turnout. We filled all of our parking spots. Every generation of Camaro was represented this year. Way to go Northstar Camaro Club members!
We held our first car show of the season at Cornerstone Chevrolet in Stillwater on Saturday, July 13th. This was our 23rd annual show here. Many thanks to the dealership for hosting and supporting the Northstar Camaro Club for so many years! Despite the iffy weather, (no surprise this year) we had a very good turnout of 120+ vehicles and even more spectators. Our food trucks, Pigs Unlimited and El Burrito Mercado on Wheels, served great food. Thanks to everyone that made this great show a success. We look forward to returning next year.
What started off as a day with a little rain, turned into a very nice Opening Cruise to kick off the season. Camaro owners are resilient and it showed by 30+ Camaro's coming out for the drive. We had a great catered lunch with giveaways and then went to visit Roy Bernick's Car Collection in Waite Park. Let the season begin...
We had two Camaro's at the GSTA. Despite the rain on Sunday, it was a good show. Glad we were inside. Both of our Club cars won awards. Lonnie received First Place and Jeff C. reeceived Outstanding in Class. Thanks to everyone that helped out.

Every Chevy Camaro Collector Edition Has This Cool Easter Egg
By Jonathan Lopez MAR 17, 2024
The departure of the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro coincides with the release of several special model variants, including the lust-worthy Chevy Camaro Collector Edition. Taking inspiration from the first-gen Camaro and sporting a variety of unique upgrades and aesthetic enhancements, the Chevy Camaro Collector Edition is a rolling treasure trove for fans of the performance nameplate. As one might expect, GM even hid a cool Easter egg in the Camaro badge.

The Origins of the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
By Jeff Koch February 24, 2024

How the Trans-Am racing series spawned the showroom superstar.
The Sports Car Club of America caught the pony car zeitgeist with the Trans-American Sedan Championship, better known simply as Trans-Am. Evolved from the SCCA’s A- and B-sedan club-racing categories, the series had two classes that ran on track together; the more relevant of these was the Over 2-liter class...Once he got GM’s blessing to do a version of the upcoming Camaro pony car aimed at Trans-Am competition, Vince Piggins (then an assistant Chevrolet staff engineer) assured SCCA brass that Chevy would enter a car for the ’67 series. The car, the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, would become the first SCCA Trans-Am-homologated pony car, thus ensuring its place in the history books—even if it never won...

Heading to Scottsdale 2024: This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko CPOP is the Real Deal
By Tara Hurlin January 9, 2024
Don Yenko is a name known by muscle car aficionados, particularly for creating the legendary high-performance Yenko Camaro, albeit he also created more powerful versions of other Chevrolet cars like the Chevelle, Nova, and Corvair. As a result of the Yenko Camaro’s popularity, there are quite a few copycats on the roads in the form of tribute cars, clones, and fake examples that claim to be factory when they are in fact frauds. This example, a Daytona Yellow 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko COPO, is the real deal.

8 of the Greatest Chevrolet Camaros in the model's history
By Brendan McAleer February 13, 2024
The Camaro lives, it dies, it lives again. Now, again, it dies. Or at least, it’s just resting. (Parrots do that, you know.) Yes, Chevrolet’s Mustang-mimic grew to be so much more than an imitation pony car over the decades, creating a huge fanbase that stretched over several generations. Now, the last examples of the sixth-gen car are rolling off the line at the Lansing Grand River assembly plant, heading off to owners who have one last Camaro Summer in the cards.
