As we shared back in March,  2024 will mark the final model year for the 6th-generation Camaro that was introduced in 2016. Now, the automaker is revealing the final special Collector's Edition. that Chevrolet says it will commemorate the car's legacy of agility and style. Other special editions during the Camaro's 6th-generation run included the 50th Anniversary and Wild Cherry Design Package along with Shock and Steel and Redline Editions.

2024 Camaro Final Collector’s Edition

The 2024 Camaro Collector’s Edition is rooted in the development of the first-generation Camaro which was code named Panther before becoming the Camaro program in the 1960s.  Chevy says Panther provided inspiration for the Chevrolet Performance Design Studio’s efforts to honor the iconic 6th-generation muscle car. 

“We found it fitting for this Collector’s Edition Camaro to officially recognize the significance of the original code name and share it with Camaro enthusiasts,” said Rich Scheer, design director, Chevrolet Performance. “Of course, the name ‘Panther’ influenced the colors used, Panther Black Metallic for SS and Panther Matte Black for ZL1.”  

The special edition will be offered on the LT/RS, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims in North America.  

LT/RS, LT1, SS Trims

The LT/RS, LT1 and SS trims feature a Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat paint, Satin Black accent stripes, 20-inch Satin Black or optional Polished Forged Wheels, the front splitter from the 1LE package and coupes receive the rear spoiler from the ZL1 package.

ZL1 Edition

The 650 horsepower LT4-powered ZL1 Collector’s Edition will be limited to just 350 vehicles. It features a Panther Black Matte exterior color – the first matte paint offered on Camaro from the factory. The ZL1 will also feature the front splitter from the ZL1 1LE, and the rear wing from ZL1 1LE on coupes. The Black Metallic ZL1 stripe, red brake calipers and black lug nuts complete the exterior look. 

All 350 Collector’s Edition ZL1 vehicles receive a serialized steering wheel badge representing where that vehicle was built in sequence. owners will also receive a bespoke Canfield Sport 45mm watch from Shinola with an inscribed serial number that matches the number on their vehicle’s steering wheel badge.  

Across all builds, Camaro Collector’s Editions receive unique front fender script badging that integrates a panther into the “R,” and a panther on the steering wheel badge. These Camaro builds also feature special floor mats with a laser-etched aluminum Collector’s Edition logo and unique black interior treatments.

A welcome kit comes with the Camaro Collector’s Edition. It contains two posters commemorating the Camaro generations and the Collector’s Edition.
