I've noticed the same thing. Prices have definitely come back down although they still seem a bit higher than before all the supply chain stuff started.

I recall seeing a lot of 2013+ 2SS manual (LS3) models that I wanted, especially an SS 1LE, which I still have a hard time finding, since they’re so indistinguishable from online listings (usually hidden under plain 14-15 Camaro SS’). I just mainly wanted the default MyLink carplay head unit, the rear backup/reverse camer. Oh, and of course, I was interested in the ELECTRIC power steering setup. God, those 10-12 V8’s had absolutely shitty power steering pump designs. Genuine OEM (AC Delco) were the only other ones that didn’t have any issues usually, but would still be prone to burning up and breaking, from hooning the car/steering (usually near or at full lock mostly). I’ve had plenty of generic PS pumps that would whine, groan, make sounds and have other steering issues, even after properly installing and bleeding the PS fluid… Cardone was a step down from AC Delco, as was some remanufactured ones (which were as garbage as the generic, or faked as “OEM”). I even see low mileage, garage queen collector 13+ Camaro V8 (SS, ZL1) convertibles going for as much as my 2010 2SS MT coupe was going for, some a bit more for obvious reasons like the early 2013 (pre-14) ZL1 convertibles. I actually thought those all came manual, but I guess ZL1’s didn’t come in manual for the convertible, up until the 6th gen (2016+) Camaro’s. Hell, I almost want a 16-20 Camaro 1SS or LT1 with mild to moderate mileage. Idk how much more reliable they are considered to the LS-based V8 platforms of these 5th gens, but I know the newer gen LT V8 engines are a lot more complex to work on, with their more modern direct injection fueling, and intricate engineering of physical bolt-on parts around the engine bay and underside. |

You can buy an aftermarket head unit that has Apple carplay and Android auto programed in. Changes the radio to all touch screen. Makes it way more modern.
