This was a spur of the moment shot. Driving along and we saw this car parked with the owner sitting on the curb. He was kind enough to let me take a few shots.
This 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 sure looks like it has done some miles. Sitting in the wilds of South Australia, it is a very long way from the Buckeye state!

A diecast 1/18th scale model Chevy Camaro Z28 sitting out the front of my house on the concrete road. I bought this model as a 'cheapie' with a view to ageing it, so it is currently half way through the weathering process. Slowly beginning to look its age of 54 years old.

For 1968, RPO Z28 added $400 over a base V-8 Camaro and required the four-speed and power brakes with front discs, bringing the starting price to about $3300. The comprehensive package added dual exhaust, heavy-duty cooling system, F41 special suspension with a right-side traction bar, quick-ratio unassisted steering,15×6-inch Rally wheels, E70-15 tires, and body stripes.
This particular Camaro Z28 is the original car that took pole position at Spa in 1981, driven by Reine Wisell, Claude Bourgoignie and John Cooper.
The car was located in Italy by David Clark, who acquired the car and brought it over to the UK for a sympathetic restoration.
The Bastos livery is certainly an attention grabber, and one that appears on a number of touring cars of that period.

The Generation 3 Camaro was offered for model years 1982-1992. The IROC-Z version was introduced in 1985.
IROC stood for International Race of Champions, a series in which premiere racing drivers competed against each other in identically prepared Chevrolet Camaro race cars.

For the 2nd Generation Camaro Z28 models, a 350 cubic inch V8 replaced the 302 cubic inch engines of the Generation 1 Camaro Z28. This one apparently has been retrofitted with a 454 cubic inch V8 per the badge in the rear.
Follow-up: Fellow Flickr photographer mlokren pointed out that this one is very likely a 'Baldwin Motion' product. Hence I replaced this photo that has the 'Motion' badge reinstated as it originally appeared.
