The second-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car produced by Chevrolet from 1970 through the 1981 model years. It was introduced in the spring of 1970.[1] Build information for model 123-12487[2] was released to the assembly plants in February of that same year. It was longer, lower, and wider than the first generation Camaro. A convertible was no longer available.[3] GM engineers have said the second generation is much more of "a driver's car" than its predecessor.[4] The high-performance Z/28 option remained available through 1975, redesignated as the Z28 in 1972.
