Over the years, the Camaro became known not just for what it could do, but for how it looked doing it. Designers shaped every panel with purpose by combining strength and style. So, let’s look at the top ten models that earned admiration from the streets to the showrooms. These Camaros prove that great design alone can make a car unforgettable.

1967 Camaro SS

A bumblebee stripe sliced across the nose of the 1967 Camaro SS to give it a sharp, muscular edge. It also introduced a long hood and short rear deck that defined the pony car feel. Meanwhile, hidden headlights from the Rally Sport package smoothed out the front with understated flair.

1969 Camaro COPO/Yenko

Hugger Orange paint and bold Yenko decals gave these Camaros visual pop, even with their modest vinyl tops. Beneath that low-key exterior, some ZL1 versions carried rare all-aluminum blocks. The COPO and Yenko builds weren’t flashy, but their hidden power turned them into lasting street legends.

1970 ½ Camaro Z/28 LT-1

Split bumpers on the RS trim and a reverse cowl hood gave it standout appeal. A Holley carburetor and firmer suspension brought strength under the skin, as longer, wider proportions introduced a European-inspired silhouette. Altogether, this was a fresh design built with purpose and style.

1977 Camaro Z28

By 1977, Camaro styling went bold again. The Z28 returned with wide fenders and a chin spoiler built for presence. Chevrolet pushed the look further with body-colored wheels and a winged rear. Sales soared that year, as drivers leaned toward a sportier, more aggressive visual statement.

1985 Camaro IROC-Z

Style and function came together in the IROC-Z. Its lowered stance and five-spoke alloys gave it sharp looks, as integrated fog lights and crisp body lines kept things clean. Tuned Port Injection enhanced performance, and the racing-inspired badges sealed its image as a street-ready showstopper built for real action.

1997 Camaro SS 30th Anniversary Edition

Arctic White paint with Hugger Orange stripes paid tribute to Camaro’s Indy pace car legacy. Inside, white leather seats carried embroidered logos. ZR-1 wheels gave it muscle, while the limited-run LT4 engine quietly made this one of the strongest fourth-generation Camaros ever produced.

2014 Camaro Z/28

With a wide stance and deep splitter up front, the 2014 Z/28 looked ready to pounce. It wore a full aero kit that added real downforce at speed. Carbon-ceramic brakes with orange calipers also amped up the style as well as delivered serious control where it mattered most.

2016 Camaro SS

Retro-style split taillights brought just enough throwback flavor to anchor the 2016 SS in Camaro tradition. Aerodynamic upgrades gave it a cleaner silhouette, while slim headlights and crisp lines sharpened its attitude. Designers closed the loop with a leaner body that felt bold and built for the present.

2017 Camaro 2SS 50th Anniversary Special Edition

Chevrolet leaned into its legacy with this Anniversary Edition. Nightfall Gray Metallic paint and orange calipers offered contrast, as 20-inch wheels and chrome accents added shine. Unique badges and illuminated sill plates added that extra polish, which made the celebration flow seamlessly from exterior to cabin.

1969 Camaro Z/28

Built with Trans-Am racing in mind, the 1969 Z/28 turned heads with its Coke bottle curves and wide-set grille. Twin stripes stretched boldly across the hood and trunk to highlight its athletic stance. A cowl-induction hood added function as it cooled the engine and enhanced the Camaro’s aggressive personality.
