They are very rare due to various laws which prevent you from importing second hand cars into Chile. Only in very specific situations can you bring a car from abroad. There are some Camaro's around but they are not in great condition and I am a bit hesitant to hire someone to do the restoration in Chile as the expertise and experience with these cars is not great. Also, I don't have the time or the know-how to do it myself. That is why I am looking for ways to bring a car over from the US...

You might wanna look into one of the "new" reproduction camaros people are building now. They have a new vin number and everything.

Welcome Wynbrown. I've got a good friend that lives in Santiago, and there are a lot of car guys there.

American muscle cars are scattered around, but the political climate has made things tough.

I live in Santiago too and I know of a few Camaro's around. As a matter of fact I saw one yesterday that had been modified and upgraded about 15 years ago and is a real monster. It is too much for me and would also need quite a bit of work on the interior to get it up to scratch. I'm not looking for something to race in although I would like it to respond when I want it to. A reliable muscle car with a few comforts...
