There are no details to as why Chevrolet decided to release a new set of images featuring the Camaro Convertible Concept that debuted at this year’s NAIAS Show, but we were more than happy to grab the opportunity and refresh our desktop wallpaper. -Follow the jump to see all the high-res pictures

In a couple of years, thousands will be lining up in Chevy dealers getting ready to place a down payment for the all new Camaro. Many will do it to re-live their adolescence without spending time or money in restoring, others just to make a quick buck by reselling the first pieces on e-bay and hopefully, many by the car itself. Same goes for the Dodge Challenger. But what about the cars that actually inspired this retro muscle-craze, what did fate behold for them? 
Well, some lucky ones found a home in your everyday garage where they’ll spend the rest of their life “married” to passionate everyday folks who’ll cherish them and treat them with an occasional spin. Others, less fortunate spend most of their time between “rest-homes” and auction halls. Even worse though, some like the Camaros shown in the pictures are cursed to stay still in graveyards abandoned to the harsh hands of nature till rust takes all….

Painted in a super-sexy deep orange colour with retro black stripes, the cabrio version of last years Camaro Concept is expected to find its way to production shortly after its coupe sibling is introduced to the market in 2009. Apart from the absence of a metallic roof, there’s no other significant differentiation between the Camaro Coupe Concept and Cabrio. We’ll have more on Chevy’s gorgeous Camaro Cabrio when GM unveils it… officially on Saturday prior to its Detroit Show debut.

The boyz over at Autoweek seem to be passing through some sort of steroid phase today. As if the Mustang 4door-coupe wasn’t enough “muscle” for a day, now they’re telling us that Chevy is planning to unveil a cabrio version of this year’s Camaro Concept. Now, if you’re kinky enough to ask why, well think of it as a striptease game: before we get to the final unveiling –aka the production version in 2009, first they “throw out” the coupe concept in 2006 then a Cabrio version of it in 2007 and who knows what in 2008. Sounds logical if you ask me. Via: Autoweek.com
I think it's safe to say that we all agree that the Chevrolet Camaro concept was great. People loved it so much that they where even asking for a cell phone ringtone on GM's official blog (Fastlane). So, GM's Design Director Tom Peter decided to make us all a very happy bunch by giving us a free downloadable mp3 audio version of a screaming 2009 Chevrolet Camaro V8 engine. Although to tell you the truth, I have a Love & Hate affair with my cell phone. I need it, but when it rings, Its usually someone who wants something and not sometime, but...NOW. Well, at least with this ringtone I can leave it ringing and ringing for hours...

After a small period of absence from our daily news, a new Transformer Movie image has surfaced on the net to refresh our memories. Once again, it's our favorite Bumblebee who seems to be caught with his pants -sorry, I mean costume, down, unveiling his Chevrolet Camaro based, robot underbody.

Contributing to the "Camaro frenzy" I added an original promotional video for the 1969 Camaro SS which includes a clip from a parade of classic Camaro's leaded by the 2006 concept version.

Just one, yes only one day after Rick Wagoner announced that the Camaro concept will head for production and a couple of dealers swept the chance to make some pre-mature dough...I know it was bound to be, but nevertheless, doesn't it strike you a tad strange that people are willing to bid and give a down payment for a car that, a) they'll get in their hands in 2009 & b) they know as much about it as a horse knows about its tale ? I'm not saying that the 2009 Camaro will be a dissapointment , but I surely can't put my hand on the bible and say that it will fulfill every car-nut's dreams. Why not just wait and see ?
"The overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the Camaro Concept continues to remind me of the uniquely iconic place our products can have in customers' hearts," Wagoner said. "Camaro is much more than a car; it symbolizes America's spirit and its love affair with the automobile."
The all-new Camaro will begin with early production versions at the end of 2008 and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. The front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe will feature an independent rear suspension, and will be offered in a variety of models with the choice of manual and automatic transmissions and V6 and V8 engines.

Chevy’s reborn Camaro looks really sexy in this 3+ minute video via “Camaro5”. Oh and those sweet burbling notes from Chevy's small block V8 exhaust pipes rings like music to my ears…
Guess who’s back…One of the most famous names of the muscle car days, Baldwin-Motion, is making a came back as the company is back on its feet, offering an all new Phase III Camaro. The car is based on the SuperCoupe prototype which was previewed last year at the Sema Show in LA
The original team -including the legendary Martyn Schorr and Motion Performance founder, Joel Rosen -- have partnered with Joel Ehrenpreis and Larry Jaworske to jump-start Motion Performance, now named Motion Performance, LLC.
Details: 1969 Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe
Based on a gennie steel 1969 Camaro, the SuperCoupe is gutted to a bare shell. Underneath it gets a 2" x 3" tubular steel chassis, independent front and rear suspensions, Baer Claw disc brakes with 14 inch rotors and 6-piston calipers, and Michelin Sport Pilot rubber on custom-made 18 and 20 inch Bonspeed wheels.
The Camaro SuperCoupe features a custom-designed interior which is completely hand-crafted. It includes six-way power seats, custom fabbed dash with Classic Instruments gauges, and a Sony Xplod audio & video system. But the most interesting part of the interior is the Hemi Cam, a rear-mounted video camera that feeds into a dash-mounted LCD screen. “We call it a Hemi cam because that’s where you’ll see all those Hemis—behind you,” explained Larry Jaworske. There’s also a camera mounted behind the radiator and pointed toward the engine, and another mounted on a front brake caliper so you can watch wheel spin…
Powertrain details include a specially-prepared Tremec TKO five-speed and a fully-independent rear with a Dana 44 Posi and hardened steel high-torque axles. Suspension is four-wheel independent with polished unequal length control arms and toe-in control links and fully adjustable coil-over shocks and sway bars. Steering is rack and pinion.
Stopping power is supplied by MOTION signature Baer Claw Extreme-Plus rakes with forged six-piston Sport calipers and 14-inch cross-drilled rotors front and rear. The SuperCoupe rides on Motion-inspired Bonspeed wheels.
