2002 – Last of the Breed

After announcing that the end of the line had come for the Camaro, Chevrolet debuted these 35th Anniversary Editions in SS trim. Featuring red paint with white checkered-flag stripes and special wheels with black inserts, the 35th Anniversary Editions were snapped up by Camaro loyalists decrying the decision to shutter the Quebec assembly plant that had been building the car since 1993. In its last year, the Camaro SS, also pictured below, was making 320 horsepower. The Ford Mustang, which had been kicking the Camaro’s butt in sales for years, offered 390 horsepower and an independent rear suspension in the SVT Cobra when the last Camaro rolled off the assembly line.
