Total Camaro Production Hits 5 MILLION!
When the Camaro went on hiatus after the 2002 model year, a total of 4,774,156 Camaros had been built.
This is the total production Camaros built in its four generations spanning from 1967 through 2002.
In March 2009, the Camaro returned to production marking the beginning of its 5th generation.
Camaro needed only 225,844 units to hit the magic 5 Million number of total production.
Camaro's 2010 model year brought forth 129,405 units, bringing the grand total up to 4,903,561.
In June 2010, production of the 2011 Camaro was underway - just 96,439 units to reach 5 Million.
Finally, on May 16, 2011, it happened!
2011 Camaro VIN sequence B9196439 roared to life at the General Motors assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario.
This beautiful Black Camaro is the 5 MILLIONTH CAMARO!
Through our friends at the Oshawa assembly plant and at General Motors, we found details on and have located this special Camaro:

Re: Total Camaro Production Hits 5 MILLION!
I think so too, bra. I wonder if whoever buys it knows? Or...I wonder how long before the dealership finds out and keeps it for their own collection or marks it up to the moon?

I also think they look good with RJT, but that was one color you could not get in the LS trim.

Re: Total Camaro Production Hits 5 MILLION!
A couple of things.....
We are not really sure which Camaro is the 5 millionth....it's an estimate only because one has to assume that every VIN was actually built and shipped to commerce from Oshawa -- (....and I'm not sure that this is the case....)
Frankly, with work proceeding on the Mighty ZL1 and members of the team overseeing the Oshawa event and all other issues that crop up each day -- we missed it!
We DID commemorate the 2 millionth Camaro (....shipped to and still owned by Fairway chevrolet in Las Vegas -- some of you saw it on the Camaro Legends Tour for a while....) -- but I don't believe we did for the 3 or 4th million......
Thanks to Tim DeYoung for pointing it out to the team - as I said, we get quite busy most of the time..........
We wish the number was higher since day 1 -that said, we are absolutely delighted at the acceptance (...and some would say embracement) of the 5th gen!
