Most familiar with these Camaros are aware of the differences between the “Early” and “Late” 2nd Generation versions. Heavily restyled from the previous iteration, these newly designed cars were larger and wider than their predecessors and came loaded with a variety of powerful drivetrains among the RS/SS/Z28 trim levels. “Early” Camaros were built from ’70-’73 and are considered to be the more traditional muscle cars, and although it may be surprising to some, they actually sold in fewer numbers than the “Late” Camaros of ’74-’81. The infamous GM strike of 1972 resulted in that very model-year (along with 1973) becoming one of the most desirable Camaros to own. Mid-decade Camaros continued to sell like hot cakes, peaking in ’78-’81 with the legendary Z/28 models that are so popular today.
