1972 Chevrolet Camaro

1972 was a low production year for the Chevrolet Camaro and Firebird. Due to a strike at the plant where the cars where being produced, the 72' Camaro was one of the lowest production years ever. Sales where also declining for the Camaro due to a drop in performance options, as well as over 1000 Camaros that where scrapped as they did not meet the new federal safety standards with the bumper.
