General Motors has again changed its plans regarding the end date for 2024 Chevy Camaro production, shaving some weeks off its previously-announced production schedule for the muscle car, GM Authority has exclusively learned.
According to insider sources familiar with the matter, the 2024 Chevy Camaro Convertible will end production on November 22nd, 2023, while the last 2024 Camaro Coupe will roll off the assembly line on December 7th, 2023.
In other words, production of the Convertible body style will end before that of the Coupe.
These November and December dates are notably earlier than the January 2024 timeframe The General provided as the discontinuation timeframe when it announced the 2024 Chevy Camaro Collector’s Edition. But even before that, GM Authority exclusively reported that the 2024 Chevy Camaro would get a condensed production run with less total units built than normal production years. In addition to that, GM also ceased offering fleet and government orders, along with discounts for GM employees for the model.
Though these consistent scheduling changes appear to indicate a continuing determination to wrap up production of the sixth-generation sports car as quickly as possible, it’s not clear why the Camaro’s discontinuation date continues to move up.
Production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro will be unusual in several other regards as well. As GM Authority previously reported, the Bow Tie will produce 60 percent more 2024 Camaro units motivated by the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 engine, providing fans with greater opportunity to acquire a vehicle powered by an atmospheric V8.
Back when 2024 Camaro production was set to stop in January 2024, our sources indicated that GM will produce 2,000 units of the 2024 Chevy Camaro in the Collector’s Edition configuration across the LT/RS, LT1 and 1SS/2SS trim levels. In addition to this total, 350 units of Camaro ZL1 units will be built as Collector’s Edition machines. Now that production will end earlier than January, it’s likely that these numbers will be negatively impacted.
As a reminder, engine choices for the 2024 Camaro include the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, the aforementioned naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 gasoline engine, and the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine. Under the body panels the sixth-gen Camaro rides on the GM Alpha platform.
Production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro is currently under way after starting on August 7th, 2023 at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan. However, the ongoing GM-UAW negotiations might impact that in the days or weeks ahead.
Once production of the sixth-gen Camaro comes to an end, the Camaro nameplate will be put on hiatus, at least until the model gets revived as an EV, something GM has previously confirmed, albeit in a cryptic fashion.

Too bad Chevrolet could not keep up with Mustang production. End of an era. I had two in my lifetime, a 68 convertible and a 70. Great cars back in the day. Unfortunately styling got very stale.
Absolutely. This is the kext dumb decision GM is making. I know right now everyone want trucks, but each generation has their rebels who want to stand out. Right now its off road everything. Every corner you see someone with a Raptor or a land cruiser and they just drive it to McDonald’s and back, never see a day of dirt. Already most of us laugh at it. The next generation is seeing this growing up and will most likely go back to street vehicles. Muscle cars, lowered trucks, sport sedans. GM needs to be developing a new generation camaro, SS and GMC cyclone, or they will end up being behind the 8 ball again.
Giving in to the Biden administration and canceling the v8 camaro’s is the dumbest thing gm has ever done. Prove us wrong. Made the camaro 2 more years with the v8 line. Your sales will triple due to the fact Mopar cancelled the charger and Challenger
Yep, all they care about is this green new deal bulls*** and this climate change nonsense, it’s about the wef, you will own nothing and be happy crap.
Still love 67, 68,69 the best. ! ! !
I really dislike this company sometimes…but a lot more lately.
Agree…seems that they are pushing their base out (the ones that built this brand back in the day with the performance era and brand loyalty) to make room for the new techie client. Nothing like the sound of a lumpy gas engine idle…hopefully they will put recordings of it in the Smithsonian for future generations to enjoy.
I don’t recall EVER SEEING a Camaro TV commercial in the last DECADE.Seems like the DODGE BOY TV commercials on on every 15 minutes!GM just didn’t care, all the money went to ads about Suv/Cuv sales.If China got hooked on muscle cars, it would’ve been different!
Commercials do little to persuade buyers. Right now GM is vying for the millions of buyers who just show up on a toyota/honda lot and buy the first car that they come across and dont even look under the hood. That’s really Toyotas bread and butter costumer.
Theres not a snowballs chance in hell a mustang/F150 driver will come buy a chevy from a commercial. Auto rivalries run as deep as some sports team rivalries.
But the thousands and thousands of first time/new buyers who are still neutral…commercials can swing them one way or the other.
i call bs on this. i recall when the hellcats first came out & the commercial of them doing burnouts to in the air tonight made me want one & i started calling dealers that coming week
December 7th 2023. A date that will live in infamy.
The GM fanbase was attacked by the Empire of Mary the clown Barra. It’s been evident they planned this attack many weeks ago.
But in our righteous might. We will win through to Absolute Victory!!!
I want to do my part for the environment but I’m not prepared for a total EV. Hybrid, yes.
I understand Gm not giving employee discounts now that the strike is on. But the strike will impact production as well so that is most likely why it is scaled back
Stop making the Camaro is INSANE but then to also stop the 2024 in December of 23 is another stupid crazy idea what are you guys and LADIES doing then the strike comes and now how is anyone got to get a 2024 …. And PS please forget about making an Electric Camaro that’s a real KICK IN THE FACE …. Well again you are making Mustang sales better and real good for 2024😭
I did not get the Camaro I ordered. I gave the dealer a deposit and they tried to find me something different that I did not order. I told them I did not want a Camaro anymore. They said they would give me my deposit back. I own several GM trucks and vans. I have ordered a Mustang after waiting over three months on a Camaro. I am irritated to say the least. Fords are starting to look better to a long time GM guy.
Please fulfill my order before 12/7/23. Thanks. Steven Carlson
Gm authority is just a press release. GM will not see your comment and do anything. Talk to your dealer about allocation for your car
same with dodge no more ice /muscle cars , fun while it it lasted ,more of us are just going to lose interest in cars all together todays kids lot of them care less about cars
Dodge is coming out with an ICE Challenger/Charger. It will just be powered by an inline 6 and not a Hemi.
Maybe they are about to announce an EV version of it for 2024/2025! One of those silhouettes under that draped curtain early on could have the same car shape!
So fortunate that I got my new 2023 2SS1LE ordered early June and delivered late July I knew several factors about getting a 2024 Camaro would come up Price increase of $2600 Shorter production run Options dropped and finally a possible UAW strike which did happen! Feel bad for the camaro buyers that probably won’t get one
They can always get a Mustang.
Go Stang – 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Please show me on this doll where the Mustang inappropriately touched you.
Personally like not hitting other cars leaving the car club –
If they do make a Camaro EV it better be a coupe otherwise they’ll pile up on dealership lots just like the FORD Mustang Mach-E currently is.
It will be a EV CUV 2 doors are now banned even P/Us soon, watch
With the end of Camaro production, I wonder what will be the impact on values for pre owned Camaros. I’d think they might be very good
Truthfully they should just fade on out 12-31-23 because seriously they haven’t or better yet, didn’t,intentionally produce a challenge to their rival muscle ponycar enemies anyway. They didn’t give their bowties something to bark loudly about. So what difference does it make. Just fade on out because no one will really notice.
Obviously you never drove a new 2SS. WAIT…who was it that set that top ten record at neuburgring*sp? Camaro ZL1? If Chevy can’t build a great car, what does that say about the Mustangs and Challengers
Since the Camaro is gone, it will be interesting to see what the Chevy model will be in NASCAR next year. I am surprised this administration hasn’t mandated NASCAR to be all EVs. It’s just a matter of time.
Malibu? Trax?
Probably the Equinox EV…doesn’t matter if you win any races, they all will be getting trophies, and the planet will be saved!!!
Has GM really done anything since the 2020 MY to make you think that they weren’t eager to be done with Camaro? Somebody in the RenCen determined the Camaro was more trouble than it was worth some time ago I’m sure, and from a business perspective, there was probably no resistance at all to pull the plug ahead of schedule. Who knows…the strike may have played a part in this decision, too.
They reacted surprisingly fast to address the negative response to the 2019 MCE front bowtie location, and the LT1 trim was a good idea in 2020, but it seems like they were shuffling deck chairs on a sinking ship ever since (as GM often does post-MCE). We can hope that resources have been funnelled towards a successor that’s worthy of the name, regardless of powertrain.
Piss poor management at the top down…
Haven’t been able to find a single LT1 on lots for the whole year…
They cannot build the fast enough. A popular model. In the last few years, Camaro’ cannot be found on lots except the four cylinder base model.
*except the four cylinder automatic transmission, as even a manual 4 cylinder is hard to track down
@Memike
Actually there will be a next gen gasoline powered Dodge muscle car, it will just come with the inline 6 instead of a V8.
Beat me to it!
We are so DONE with GM , we ordered a 2023 Camaro 2ss back in November /2022 and never got it . And was told to reorder a 2024 in June 5/ 2023 and we did . And now GM is stopping production in December /2023 . We have purchased 5 new GM’s in 3 years and this is how we get treated… We still don’t have a build date , sure wish i could talk to someone at the top about this…
Someone flaunts their money 😡
I am 100% in agreement with you. They advertise and can’t deliver. I’ve waited over 2.5 years for a Z06 and the dealer still can’t tell me when they can place my order. I guess they want us to buy their EVs instead.
my first car (shared with mom) was a 1967 Camaro, ordered in 1966 before we even knew what they would look like. I thought it would be a nice bookend to have the last Camaro (2024) for my last car. But like Mr. Jimmy and Mick said ” you can’t always get what you want” ! >> After 4 years trying to buy a new GM van and having to settle for a 2023 Traverse, and all the stupid management and pricing games by GM, I am done with GM forever. Could be my last car will be a plug in hybrid Volvo, (since Chev foolishly killed the Volt)
I have an offer in for a Bullitt green 2023 Mustang GT , sitting on the Ford lot for months …. doubt they will take my lowball offer, but if they do, it will be my last car. And I will thumb my nose at GM. (54 years a loyal GM buyer)
I understand Gm not giving employee discounts now that the strike is on. But the strike will impact production as well so that is most likely why it is scaled back
I know this isn’t the Ford Authority page, but there is no Bullitt 2023 Mustang nor is there a “Bullitt Green”. Bullitt was made 2001, then again in 2008-2009 and the most recent was 2019-2020.
You are likely talking about Eruption Green which looks nothing like the green on the Bullitt cars. The Bullitt cars were painted dark highland green metallic.
Thank you kindly for educating me! Now that I know Eruption Green is nothing close to McQueen’s Mustang’s green, I will immediately withdraw my offer! Thanks for saving me from that big mistake!
must have run out of 2023 parts. What a joke, I have a 67 convertible and wanted a 2024 convertible, not going to get it.
My TPW is 9/25/23, counting myself lucky / cautiously optimistic. I’m fully expecting it to sit in a lot for months once it’s built though.
I have owned Camaros and Corvettes for 52 years and its a sad day as to what this country is doing to our muscle car industry and the destruction of our fossil fuel vehicles. I suppose these morons also believe we will be better off with lithium battery aircraft someday. Well I would not be flying in one nor would I ever buy an electric vehicle. So I have my 67 and 15 Vette and my daily driver 15 Camaro which I will keep. However, I hope these creeps who cut production dates honor my order, build it and allow me to purchase the new 2SS I ordered two monts ago because it will be the last new GM vehicle I will be able to purchase from them since they obvioulsy don’t care about customers, long time dedicated muscal car customers or me as a shareholder either.
There are a lot of GM customers i.e. Joe, Christopher, and others, leaving comments that are very unhappy with GM for valid reasons. Could the people that are giving these comments a thumbs down, tell me why?
GM owners should form a non-profit consumer union of their own and use the fees from membership dues to create mutual fund so that all members own GM stock. Eventually if it gets big enough, the owners themselves can weigh in on bad management as a major stockholder group.
I’m holding on to my order number until they pry it from my cold dead fingers!😆
Camaro; My 1st true performance car, a Gen 1 ‘68 SS BB 4M. After work 13:57@105mph 1/4 mile with street tires and a 3:08 rear axle. Top Speed approx. 160mph. May not sound like much but it was a fast street car in its day.
How far the Camaro has come. Stock Gen 6 2SS Camaro: 0-60 3.9 sec/ 12.2@ Top Speed 165mph (R&T ‘19). With approx. 27mpg highway. Amazing!
The new Camaro has truly proven itself on both the street and track.
At Nurburgring/ Nordschleife an ‘18 ZL1/1LE ran a 7.16 proving the new production Camaro is a performance track car and keeps pace with Corvettes and a long list of exotics.
We saw a ‘23 Camaro ZL1 (NASCAR) at Lemans this year (Garage 56 Project). Although not without technical issues it proved its mettle.
I know if no other American produced car with these accomplishments with the exception of Corvette.
And GM temporarily retires the name. Yet again. Financial gain, incentives, bonuses, company image among other things is likely why.
So a 100% EV is to carry the Camaro badge in the near future? OK prove to me it’s worthy of the name GM.
That said I don’t expect to see many EV Camaros on the track. I imagine a pit row with piles of spent batteries, teams of pit crew R&Ring batteries in and out of cars in seconds. Right.
Gen 6 Camaro ZL1 proved itself at the Nurburgring/ Nordschlief with a 7.16 run.
Outperforms mii I st if it’s American competitors on the track
Sad to see GM cancel the car. Again.
100,000 people want the Z 06. But GM refuses to build. Mary is just sucking up to the insane oil haters. I wonder what these idiots will do when they find out there TOFU burgers are packaged in a byproduct of oil and delivered buy a gasoline powered vehicle.
I’m a bit confused how they can stop production before 2024, I work for a non American oem and was taught that to put out a new model year you have to build that car at least for some small portion of time in that calendar year. So if you are building a 2024 some cars have to be built in 2024, legally. Not sure if that’s a euro thing or not but find it odd for 24MY to finish production before 2024…
If the UAW strike lasts two months. What happens? Do the dates get moved out two months?
I remember well going to the local Chev dealer in the third week of September 1966 and seeing the new Camaro. And a test ride of the Z-28 in 1968. And all the great models that followed. Have rented a few but never owned one. Always loved. Sad time.
Had a 68 SS that was super nice, and currently a 2015 2SS with a few performance mods, love em both.
Not a fan of the Camaro. I think ther version of the retro design isn’t as good as the Challenger or Mustang. I mean really you don’t see many youtube vIdeos showing a Camaro out running a cop.
Worst CEO ever. Thanks for killing my favorite car! No ICE Camaro = zero loyalty from me after 54 years! It was a great ride for so many years until you screwed it all up!
anyone with a ’23 on order probably cancelled to get a ’24 anyway, resale value would be worth it
Come on guys, GM themselves flopped on the overall design of the 6th gen Camaro. They looked at the successful 5th gen and instead of pushing the design envelope they simply updated the styling and kept its already known disadvantages. Yes it’s platform and driving dynamics were superb, but it looked all too familiar with tight interior and limited outward visibility. Sales began to suffer and it never reached 5th gen levels of popularity with its higher prices. People were just not willing to pay the costs of owning what is a essentially a GT sports coupe masquerading as a muscle car. Now here we are. GM made a severe miscalculation.
VISIBILITY IS FINE. THE ONLY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT VISIBILITY HAVE NEVER DAILY-ED A CAMARO
Yeah, you just make whatever adjustments you need to be able to see. 🙂
When I first saw this article, that was the end of my quest for a 2024. I checked Chevy inventory within 500 miles of me and found a 2023 in a color I liked with most of what I wanted on it and no deal breakers. I’m in the process of purchasing it and they are transporting it to me.
I’d suggest to anyone not to rely on your 2024 getting built, especially if you’re waiting on your dealer to get an allotment which is no guarantee anyway. There are still 2023s on lots and you can bet that those will start going fast. The sooner you act, the better the chance of getting something you’d like.
Lowercase gm SUCKS
Lower case gm really sucks! The present regulations and policies being pushed by this current administration makes a bad situation worse.
I have owned GM cars my whole life. I started with a Vega GT which rooted out and burnt oil in less than three years. I had a Trans Am and I went thru three transmissions in less than five years. Didn’t learn my lesson so I bought a Z28 and from the first day I had it the air conditioner never worked right. I was now thinking of buying a new Traex but knowing it’s got a three cylinder engine I think it is going to be a Vega something always going wrong with it. Guess I try a foreign car! I thought I would never say that. Love the Camaro ZL1 but I guess I won’t be getting it since they are stopping production so soon! What’s wrong with GM management!
Sad ending to cool “affordable” muscle car
Amazing that a car manufacturer can’t manufacturer and deliver ordered cars?! Is the factory doing anything?
Thanks again GM and chevy for making another stupid stupid decision 1st it was 2024 the last Camaro….now stopping production in December of 2023 YEAH all you are going to do is put more mustangs on the road Oh and by the way every time I drive I see BRONCOS all over so again you guys made Ford sell MORE! Please wake up
the more I read and see it is apparent that gm left their customer base in the dust. like the majority of us on here I have been a loyal customer for the bow tie brand my whole life, but what they are doing now does not deserve any more loyalty, to continue to support this nonsense would be selling out. I hate to admit it but when my lease is up in January, I will be looking elsewhere for a daily driver.
The Swamp: Brother of Biden’s Top Adviser Is Lobbyist for General Motors. complicating matters for the White House as the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against record inflation and the administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandates.
I sure hope my order gets filled. I have yet to hear if my dealership gets an allocation and I’m first on the list in Santa Maria, California. I’ll just keep saving and cross my fingers.
Mary strikes again. Another cool sporty car available with a V6 or V8 and stick shift gone. It makes you wonder when are people going to wake up and vote these incompetents out of office
The current management has destroyed the Chevy vehicle lineup. Honda and Toyota have sporty cars that are fun and affordable. Even Kia and Hyundai have some great sporty cars that are affordable. If you want something that isn’t a SUV or has over 163 HP with a Chevy badge on it you now have one choice and it will cost you $70K and has two seats. How can a company make worse decisions about product development than General Motors?
I am sorry to read all the negative crazy ideas that chevy is doing to the bow tie cars I really think it’s time for someone in charge that really likes cars and not makes crazy amounts of money. You are just killing the days of fun cars‼️ Ford has mustangs and Broncos all over and Chrysler has the charger and Challenger!! Ladies and gentlemen WAKE UP.
Chargers and challengers are dodge not chrysler and they ended production too
I say get rid of some of those gas guzzling SUVs, that would help the planet more than getting rid of the Camaro. On the other hand I think as Americans we are spoiled and use to getting what we want, we have more SUVs per capitia than any country on the planet. Chevy makes 3 cars and a bunch of trucks, Buick makes only SUVs , Cadillac makes a few cars and more SUVs, GMC makes exclusively trucks and SUVs
I sure hope my order gets filled by December 7th too.

Wondering if the Camaro body will qualify for the 2024 NASCAR season since end of production is being pushed up to December instead of January 2024.
I pre-ordered mine back in May. All custom from the color to the rims. I kept getting updates and today I was told I would not be getting my car. I am heartbroken. How can you send me a work order showing my car and that it is being built and then tell me HA-HA just kidding you won’t be getting your car but hey we have some 2023’s in stock. I didn’t order a 2023, I ordered a custom 2024. So, no I will not be buying a 2023. In fact, I won’t purchase another car from you ever. SHAME ON YOU CHEVY!
Jeannette,
I am sorry to hear. That seems to be the norm. GM promotes the Camaro and Corvette Z06 but cannot deliver as promised. I have waited over 2.5 years for a Z06 and the dealer still could not tell me when I can order it let alone get it. I canceled and had my deposit returned. I don’t know if GM monitors this site, but the amount of disgruntled customers who are walking away from purchasing GM vehicles in the future is off the charts. Hopefully, the next brand you pick will be more accommodating and appreciate your business.
Thank you. It is disgusting to do this to people. I will NEVER purchase another GM product. EVER. Sorry about your car too, thankful you got you deposit back 🙂
I get it, Jeannette, but you had to know that getting one was going to be sheer luck. GM wasn’t even taking orders back in May and only started in August. Just because your dealer got an allotment didn’t mean that you were going to get your car and just because GM accepted your order didn’t mean you were going to get it either. Considering the strike and rolling back end of production were both working against you. I hate the way GM has handled this too, but you still have options. I put in an order in Aug and my dealer got an allotment and offered it to me in late Sept. Considering all of the above, I had already begun the purchase of a guaranteed ’23. Taking up the offer would have been chancy at best, so I passed on it. If you really want a new Camaro, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. You aren’t hurting GM, but you are hurting yourself. Think about it. It would’ve been nice to have a ’24, but I’m loving my ’23 and not looking back.
Really? I have a text message from the Chevy dealer with my order back in May. I can prove it. So if that is the case and she lied to me, then I have an even bigger problem. Now I know GM is shady as ever. If you would like I can upload the picture form May where she said my order was in place and I was second in line
Chevrolet screwed this up just like they did the Corvette. I am irritated as well. The dealer I was dealing with was great. They can’t help it. Orders for the Camaro could not be completely entered until it opened in June. I wrote a letter to GM and told them how the mishandled this and praised my dealer that I was dealing with. I have bought a 2024 Mustang GT.
Nice! I hope you are enjoying your mustang. 🙂 I would praise my dealer too, but they lied to me the entire time.
Oh, and by the way, if I wanted a 2023, I would have bought a 2023!!!! Don’t need to think about it. My business with GM is DONE. Have a nice day
Placing an order is not an allocation. Your dealer did not get an allocation. Building a car is not an order learn it get it let it sink in
Ok I get it but the text messages and emails from the dealer said otherwise. So, they lied to me. Even more reason to not do business with this company.
Does anyone remember when 1969 Camaro where in production they sold so many they were making 1969 camaros into the year of 1970 and 1970 camaros where called 1970 1/2 … it was just a great car and STILL IS …..GM WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS????? Please forget about a ELECTRICAL CAMARO‼️Every Mustang guy will be laughing when they see IT.
It’s really too bad the messages we put out there. No one at GM reads them. It’s a very very sad sad day for CAMAROS … back in 1969 they could not make enough camaros went into the 1970 year
What a waste. Glad we jumped in right before the covid mess. 21 ZLE for 9k under sticker. What a lottery ticket that was.
