The Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance is hosted each March near Jacksonville, Florida with this year’s event having 10 of the finest Camaros in the world, which included the original bumblebee from The Transformers movie.

The Chevrolet Camaro was first introduced as a reaction to the Ford Mustang pony car in September 1966 and has been an icon ever since. Some of these iconic models such as the COPOs are now being reintroduced giving even more traction and fame to the originals.

Probably the rarest and most iconic Camaro is serial number N100001, also known as the Detroit Sales Convention Unveil F-Car. The engine has a 230ci six, finished in gold paint and is one of possibly 49-52 prototypes built three months before production.
