It's been a quarter-century since the last time it happened, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro">Chevrolet's reborn Camaro</a> appears set to steal away the yearly pony car sales crown from the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Ford Mustang</a>.<br />
<br />
According to <em>AutoWeek</em>, the Bowtie Brigade has cleared 75,685 Camaro sales through the end of November, while the Blue Oval has shifted 68,264 units. Extrapolating the monthly sales totals to the end of December, AW estimates that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/">Chevrolet</a> will finish 2010 with around 82,500 sales, besting the Ford's estimate of 74,500. Trailing the muscle car pack in sales is <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/challenger">Dodge's Challenger lineup</a>, trending at around 36,000 units.<br />
<br />
There has certainly been pent-up demand for the Camaro among consumers after its prolonged absence, but what's even more impressive about its yearly sales total is that if the lead holds, the Chevy will have outsold the Ford and the Dodge with far fewer special editions and no convertible bodystyle like the Mustang. (A <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/16/officially-official-2011-chevrolet-camaro-convertible-w-videos/">droptop Camaro</a> is slated to go on sale next year, and a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/05/spy-shots-2012-chevrolet-camaro-z28-running-the-ring/4">high-performance Z28 variant</a> is also expected).<br />
