Camaro Enthusiast is the old magazine for the United States Camaro Club (USCC) and is no longer in existance. A few of the members from USCC started the Worldwide Camaro Association (WCA) which is now WCC or Worldwide Camaro Club run by Eckler's Corvette and Camaro center in Titusville, FL. The only issues available will be by someone that has 'em. I have a bunch of old issues myself, but they date to 1996 and 1997.
If it is the club magazine, then I bought 11 editions off eBay last week not knowing they were the same. Unfortunatly I did not get the issue I want. Here is the list of ones I bought: (I only wanted one issue):

It was an actual magazine. I have some issues where they are about the same size as a Motor Trend. No newsletter there at that size. Unfortunately, there were alot of advertisers in the mag. They are also full of great information. It would be nice to see another publication of that caliber. I will get the publisher details for you as soon as I can.
I just contacted a friend of mine that has cases of past issues. He received them from the club when they disbanded. He will check tonight to see if he still has the March/April '93 issue. I will be paying him a visit myself now to get a stash of these for my inventory! I'll let you know.
The magainzes look like they have lots of info. I am after the R7U article. More thank likely, I would just sell the rest of them. I have limited my "collection" to players challenge stuff.
