CARLISLE, PA – The Carlisle GM Nationals return to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds this week (June 24-25) and with it, not only ushers in the summer season, but also continues Carlisle’s Summer of Muscle. For this year’s event, over 1,000 show cars will adorn the National Parts Depot Showfield and along the way, some of the rarest and most unique 3rd Gen Camaros and Firebirds known to exist.
There are many great anniversary displays planned for this year’s event, but one that is drawing extra attention is the 40 Years of the 3rd Gen showcase in Building T. There are some cars in this display that will turn heads and there are others that will be jaw dropping. As part of the 3rd Gen showcase, the Carlisle GM Nationals is happy to welcome the LAST Camaro to ever roll off the Norwood assembly line. In addition, there will be Players Camaros and Firehawks. There’s also a 1991 SEMA show car coming to Carlisle that was built by John Moss, head of the GM Specialty Vehicles Group. What makes the Moss car special is that it’s the ONLY GM commissioned (non-Corvette) vehicle with an LT5 Dual Overhead Cam ZR-1 engine.

Joining these cars will be Kyle Tucker of Detroit Speed. Tucker is bringing their famed DSE-Z Camaro build. In addition, YouTuber Stan Kennedy (Fireball Mullet) will be generating some content, while also showcasing his modified IROC-Z, and finally, don’t miss a slew of stock and modified Camaros and Firebirds too. Some of the options on these cars no doubt makes them some of the only of their kind.
