The Chevrolet Camaro 1970-1981 was built from 1970 to 1981.
The Camaro, the most traded version: The second-generation Camaro represents GM's response to the insurance crisis that killed the original pony car era. Launched in 1970 with Coke-bottle styling by Bill Mitchell's team, these F-bodies traded the first-gen's raw aggression for Euro-influenced sophistication. The Base model came standard with Chevy's reliable 250 inline-six or optional 307 V8, making it the accessible entry point into Camaro ownership. While Z28s and SS models grab headlines, Base Camaros offer surprising collector appeal—especially early '70s examples with clean lines before the bumper regulations hit. The 1970-73 split-bumper cars are particularly sought after, with their distinctive front-end treatment and cleaner proportions. Production peaked at over 282,000 units in 1979, but finding unmolested examples grows increasingly difficult. Smart collectors recognize these as the foundation of the Camaro legend, offering classic muscle car style without the premium pricing of their high-performance siblings.
