The Camaro Isn't Dead — It's on a Longer Pit Stop Than We Thought

Unlike my usual automobile posts, I wrote this one with some sadness back when it happened. A vehicle I've always loved — and owned — was being discontinued. The Camaro has shown up in movies for decades, and I've covered two of them here before: Better Off Dead and Bumblebee.

Classic Industries covered it well at the time: GM confirmed that the 2024 model year would close out the sixth-generation Camaro, at least for the time being, after a run stretching back to 1966.

The Camaro brings back a lot of memories for me, especially when I see a 1979 Z-28 on the road — I drove one for a few years and still wish I'd never sold it.

Here's the update, three years later: the "at least for now" is looking more real by the month. As of this month, GM Authority is reporting that a next-generation Camaro is officially in the pipeline — gas engine, rear-wheel drive, a manual transmission option, and a dedicated high-performance model likely powered by GM's new Gen 6 Small Block V8. The timeline has slipped from an earlier 2028 target to a 2029 model year, but the program itself was reportedly greenlit by GM back in April, with production penciled in at the same Lansing plant that built the last one.

What's still unsettled is the shape it takes. Some reports point to a return to the classic two-door coupe; others suggest GM may finally break tradition with a four-door performance sedan or even an electric SUV wearing the badge. Nothing's official yet — but "the Camaro is gone for good" doesn't hold up the way it did in 2023.

In the meantime, if you're a Camaro lover, the good news hasn't changed: there are decades of models to choose from. With the badge's popularity over the years, you can likely find the exact generation, trim, and options you want by searching vintage and classic auto sites.

If you decide to buy one — whether you're in Tampa, Chicago, or anywhere else — how you get it home (or exported) depends a lot on the vehicle's location and the nearest port. For advice on shipping your Camaro, drop me a DM.

From "I saw it online" to "It's in my driveway" — here's how Caribbean buyers are importing U.S. cars without the headaches.
You spotted the car online. Maybe it's a clean classic, a hard-to-find trim, or just a better deal than anything local. Then the questions start — and for most buyers, that's where the excitement stalls out.

Over 40+ years, I've helped 400+ customers export thousands of vehicles to the Caribbean — private buyers and commercial fleets alike. And almost everyone starts with the same three questions:

▶ Will inland freight eat up my savings? Not if it's planned correctly from the start.

▶ What documents do I actually need? Fewer than you'd think — but missing even one can stall your shipment at the port.

▶ Does it matter which freight forwarder I use? Yes — a forwarder who specializes in vehicles avoids costly mistakes a generalist won't even know to watch for.

None of this requires you to become an expert. It requires a process — and I've already built one, step by step, from sourcing to delivery.

My goal is simple: buying a car from the U.S. should feel as easy as buying one down the street.

The Jeep: Born in War, Built for Everyone — And Why I Still Miss Mine
Some vehicles get famous from movies. Some from TV shows. But there are only a handful you recognize instantly — no badge needed — from across a parking lot or across 80 years of history.

The Jeep is one of those vehicles.

I owned a 1978 CJ-7. Dark green hardtop. Air conditioning. A joy to drive every single time. I've owned a lot of vehicles. I still think about that one.

Born Out of Necessity:
In June 1940, the U.S. Army solicited bids from 135 automakers for a quarter-ton "light reconnaissance vehicle." Only three responded: Bantam, Willys, and Ford. What came out of that competition was the Willys MB — rugged, lightweight, built to go anywhere. Widely regarded as "America's workhorse," it has been called "probably the most successful utility vehicle ever made." Jeep (Wikipedia)

Nobody agrees on where the name "Jeep" came from — the military slang, the Popeye cartoon, the phonetic "GP" — and honestly, that mystery is part of the charm.

The CJ-7:
The 1978 CJ-7 was one of the first vehicles to successfully blend on-road comfort with off-road capability, setting a standard for future SUVs and crossovers. At the time, I just thought it was a great truck. Looking back, I was driving a piece of history. Later editions even carried a factory dash plaque reading: "Last of a great breed, this collector's edition CJ ends an era that began with the legendary Jeep of World War II." (Metrommp; The Jeep Database)

That says it all.

Still the Best Place to Find One:
The U.S. remains one of the best places in the world to source a Jeep — vintage CJ or latest Wrangler. If you're importing one from Dallas or Saint Paul, the logistics matter. Port of export, vehicle age, compliance — it all affects how the deal should be structured.

That's exactly what we help with at Bon Trade International. Drop me a DM.
