Here are some pics of the 5th generation Camaros I saw at the 2012 Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals on Saturday, November 17th in Rosemont, Illinois (Chicago). There were Yenkos, Lingenfelters, Callaways, Nickeys and even a Trans Am lookalike with T-Tops and a GTO convertible lookalike. I even spotted a yellow 2013 ZL1 convertible in the parking garage. Pics of the other Camaro generations follow. Enjoy!

Here are pics of the other Camaro generations that were there. There must've been over 20 Yenkos, several Nickeys, COPOs, ZL1s, Z28s and SS Camaros!

ScottZ28 · 11-17-2012, 06:40 PM

Here are some more Camaros from the show.

In addition, 6 of the 8 1969 Trans Am Convertibles produced were at this show!

That is a s-ton of photos. Thank you for uploading them.

Did anyone else notice that the white Trans Am conversion still has "Camaro" on the steering wheel? You'd think after all that, they could at least insert a Burt Reynolds picture in there instead. Maybe that's just for the black models, though.

I guess after seeing these there is not reason to upload any more... Nice works.

THere were a few over near the swap area, one was made by a local custom shop south of joliet. Pearl White 67 With color change stripes. Very sharp...

Buddy and I took our kids. They had blast. After waling in they were selected as Jr. Judges for the show. The 4 kids spent the next two hours judging cars and passing out awards to the participants.

Great Show!!!

Thanks for the positive comments guys. The team works very diligent all year long in order to make some of those once in a lifetime cars and/or displays come to fruition.

Thanks for the pictures as as well as your support.

Dang I forgot about this show, thanks for the pics!

How many of the 6 1969 TransAm convertibles were there, I see a few?

Ivan @ Southwest Speed · 11-19-2012, 01:42 PM

Only 8 were ever produced, 4 automatics and 4 manuals. 7 have been found. All seven were committed, but we had one back out, so 6 of the 7 found TAs were in the display as well as an Ultra Rare Ram Air IV TA coupe.

Some of the T/A Convertibles were valued at over $1,000,000.00 in recent years.

Very nice,

WheelmanSS · 11-20-2012, 12:27 PM

Wow your photos are nice. I'm not even gonna bother posting mine now lol.

It was a fantastic show. Great to see so many Yenkos and winged cars.

Also, it was cool to see the Adams polish team there. They had a nice display and attracted a lot of people. I was doing my best to work some sales for them too lol.

However, I was EXTREMELY dissappointed in the Lingenfelter team. I tried to talk to one of the guys there, and he was very rude. Had no desire to answer my questions, gave me short responses, and tried to make me feel like my questions were stupid. The guy wouldn't even get his lazy ass out of the chair.

Guess ill shop somewhere else for the thousand dollar fuel pump I need.
