They offered options which appealed to those looking for basic transportation, all the way up to those ready to hit the race tracks. The first- and second-generation Camaro models lasted for over a decade and were wildly popular vehicles.
As well-liked as they were when new, these handsome and sporty cars may be even more loved today. That's why it is so important to have access to parts for restoration, rebuild and repair projects. In many cases, factory parts are important to ensure quality and maintain value.

When it comes to building cars, there are particular parts which can only be found on specific models, but, fortunately, the manufacturers often used the same parts on many different vehicles and over the course of multiple years. Those parts are called "interchangeable". You may even be surprised to find some of the sources available to you. Other Chevrolet models and even vehicles from other GM divisions often offer factory-correct parts for you to use! This book tells you exactly which years and vehicles are perfect substitutes for which parts. Just follow the Camaro used parts guidance information included in this book to see which vehicles fit your needs for locating your factory-correct parts.
Let's take a look at an example from the book, so you can see how well it works. If you're searching for a convertible top switch for a 1969 Camaro, the book will first provide some details about it. In this case, it states, "This is the power switch that was placed on the instrument panel that operated the top. It is the bare switch without the bezel. Tip: Look at Chevelle or full-size station wagons with a power rear window; the switch is the same." Then, when you look at the line for the 1969 model, it tells you that all fall under interchange number 3. Once you look up "Interchange Number: 3", you'll find: Part Number(s) 3959230 Usage: 1969 Camaro or Chevelle convertible; 1969 Pontiac Lemans, Skylark, Cutlass convertible; 1969 Chevelle, Cutlass, Skylark, Lemans station wagon with power rear window; 1969-1970 full-size Chevrolet convertible or station wagon with power rear window.
