Chevy Camaro Running At 14 Days Supply In August 2023

As one of the Bow Tie brand’s most iconic nameplates, the Chevy Camaro has been receiving much attention as of late, largely centered around the 2024 Chevy Camaro Collector’s Edition. Now, GM Authority has learned that the Camaro had low inventory levels as of early August 2023.

Throughout the course of July 2023, General Motors recorded approximately 2,300 retail deliveries of the muscle car, along with roughly 15,300 units delivered since the beginning of the 2023 calendar year. As a result, the Camaro featured a 14 days supply as of early August 2023. For reference, a 60 days supply is consider optimal across the automotive industry.

It’s worth noting that convertible Camaro models accounted for 28 percent of overall deliveries.

This is an interesting development for the Bow Tie brand’s muscle car, as sales of the Chevy Camaro have been seeing a second-wind of sorts since the beginning of the 2023 calendar year. In fact, the Camaro has largely closed the gap between itself and the competition, namely the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, during Q2 2023.

As seen above, the Camaro saw an incredible sales jump of over 100 percent, while the Mustang and Challenger were in the red. Whatever the reason behind this revival may be, it certainly isn’t terrible for a vehicle on the precipice of discontinuation.

As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Camaro serves as the last model year of the sixth-generation of the muscle car, and will see a condensed production run. To this end, General Motors is offering the 2024 Camaro with two special packages for the final model year, which include the likes of the aforementioned Collector’s Edition and the Garage 56 Edition.

Production of the 2024 model officially kicked off at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

  1. GM’s been hinting that the Camaro is coming back in some form, either as a 7th gen following up the outgoing 6th gen…or something completely different. Either way, it’s high time that GM spills the beans and gives the people some clear indication as to what we should expect….or else they will lose future interest AND sales to other brands (mainly Mustang and the new Nissan Z car)

    1. New Nissan z is not even in the game with the Camaro or Mustang. Mustang is probably down because the 2024 is a big improvement. The Z is a joke looks terrible and from what I have read has bad paint and other issues. GM might just give us a ICE and EV camaro. Its possible as the new V8 is coming and the 2.7t would be a good entry point. Who knows what the political climate will be in the next few years. EV’s are not going to be that big a deal unless Solid State Batteries really are on the horizon according to Toyota. We will see.

      1. In my opinion the problems with the Z are not with its looks, they’re with its lackluster engine note, unexciting (but torquey) appliance-like power, and substandard transmissions.

  2. The Camaro in its current form is an old worn out horse. Time to shoot it!

    1. Horse is heroin, sounds like Bill has been shooting too much of it.

      1. Or maybe, only a user would know that Jeff, or a guy old enough to have watched one too many TV shows from the 70’s-80’s. Who love you baby, said which 70’s Detective?

        One thumbs up for all who answer correctly.

  3. GM’s ev push will bankrupt them. I have a Tesla right now that I regret buying. It’s resale is so damn low, I want to get a Camaro before the idiots at Gm kill the last vehicle I would buy from them.

  4. Would love to see what the factories that “build” Camaros looks like. Is anything being built? Was at Dealer a week ago and not one Camaro to be seen.

    Reply
    1. The factory is probably too busy building the Cadillac CT4’s and CT5’s to worry about the Camaro.

      1. They sell even less don’t they?

        Reply
        1. I have never looked before, but you would be correct. From what I could find on the web, it looks like they sold 27,000ish Camaros in 2022. CT4’s were around 11,000 and the CT5’s were around 15,000.

  5. I’ve been looking to buy one. There appears to be only 114 LT1 models in the entire nation. In the entire state of Oregon there is 0.

  6. Something else that no one is talking about here is the looming UAW strike. If that happens no one is getting a Camaro anytime soon.

  7. Hard to sell a car when you’re not producing what the consumer wants (V8’s) and only the big city dealers are getting allocations. Plus when you don’t know where your built inventory is in your distribution network, the dealership can’t deliver the car to the customer if they don’t have it.

    I live in eastern North Carolina, 2 hours east of Raleigh. The only dealers with V8’s within 2 hours of me in 2021 were the Hendrick dealerships, all of which wanted $2500 – $5000 over sticker, even if you ordered the car. If i was crazy enough to have paid that, my journey there would have taken me right by 3 other Chevy dealers and with 3 miles of 4 others.

    None of the dealerships within ah hour of me had an allocation for an SS, but all felt it would only take 6 months to get the car, so in August of 2021, we ordered my car and I placed a deposit on it. Chevrolet was absolutely no help when asked about the production status of the car until late April of 2022 when it hit the production schedule. It was completed the first week of May 2022 and showed “in transit” on the Chevrolet website the end of May. Fast forwarded to September of 2022, Chevrolet can not supply the dealer or myself with any information on where the car is or when it would be delivered. Finally on Sunday morning, September 11, 2022, my car and another SS that the dealer ordered in late 2021 finally show up on the dealer’s lot.
    It spent a week in a body shop on two separate occasions getting chips in the paint touched up and rail dust buffed out of the paint.

    I love the car and get many complements on it, but it’s obvious that Chevrolet doesn’t care about the Camaro as an ICE vehicle. No advertisement, low production numbers (maybe their production time is more profitable making the CT4 and CT5’s), and just an overall lack of product support for the Camaro is a telling sign. The last few years you could find Mustangs, Chargers, and Challengers on dealers lots, rarely a Camaro, and in TV and online adds, but never a Camaro there. I suspect the Mustang will have a huge sales jump when the 2024 model hits dealers lots, as it has no rival to contend with and people still want a sporty car, whether it’s a four cylinder, V6, V8, or some sort of a hybrid.

  8. Selling like hotcakes but of course Mary is killing it!

    1. “If you build it, they will come!”

    2. Ideology driven products. They killed vehicles that still sold decently like the Cruze, and kept vehicles that sold poorly (and loose money) like the Bolt.

  9. Just did a search on Chevrolet’s website, Within 2000 mlies of me, there are 3536 Camaros available (but only 37 within 100 miles of me).

    533 2.0L Turbos (5 within 100 miles)
    1133 3.6L V6’s (7 within 100 miles)
    330 6.2L Supercharged V8’s (4 within 100 miles)
    1540 6.2L V8’s (21 within 100 miles)

    I have never seen that many show up on Chevrolet’s website in the 2 1/2 years I’ve been doing that search. The most I’ve seen during this time was 1200 to 1500 total available until the last few months. No wonder sales have increased, more vehicles available, higher sales, who would have thought that!

    1. GM needs new leadership now!

    2. East coast? There are basically zero in the northwest

      Reply
  10. You have to wonder if lack of production/availability is the plot so Gm can claim nobody buys Camaros so they are justified in ending production?

    Reply
  11. I agree that there should be a change in leadership. Let’s get a car guy who also loves these awesome looking sketches that are made but never produced. The Camaro is proving that it can hold it’s own and make a profit with some exciting styling changes.

  12. “Largel closed the gap” ??? That’s hilarious. What are you people smoking? Camero is #3 in sales despite this 100% sales increase. Camaro is over 3000 units behind Challenger and 10 points of market share.

    And you don’t know the reason for the increased sales? It’s the same reason Challenger sales are also up. They’re being discontinued!!!!! All of the last time Lou’s are putting their money where their mouths are.

    Mustang doesn’t care that they’re #2 this year because next year they will have the market to themselves. The chuckling in Dearborn must be audible in the Ren Cen.

  13. My very honest dealer submitted my order on opening day for 2024 orders (06/15/2023) and it was built last week. V8, manual trans convertible.
    Of course, the buyer must be equally honest and genuine. In other words, for real and not a chain yanker.
    Both essential .
