At a glance it would seem that the only difference between the coupe and convertible concepts would be the roof and Hugger Orange pearl tri-coat paint job with a pair of dark gray racing stripes, but this is not the case.<ref name="MTconvert">{{cite journal |last=Lassa |first=Todd |year=2007 |month=March |title=Indianapolis, Your Pace Car Is (Almost) Here |journal=[[Motor Trend]] |volume=59 |issue=3 |pages=48–51 |accessdate=2007-02-23}}</ref> Besides the obvious convertible top, there are subtle changes to the exterior as well. Every surface was changed from the door-cut back. The rear fenderlines drop off from the horizontal surface to the vertical surface a couple of inches farther out than on the coupe to keep proportions good and the rear spoiler was reshaped. The {{convert|21|in|cm|0|abbr=on}} front and {{convert|22|in|cm|0|abbr=on}} rear wheels were also redesigned and a thin orange line was applied to the outer edge, a nod to redwalls available circa 1969.
 
There are many interior changes that were incorporated into the new concept. The retro [[houndstooth]]-pattern seats of the coupe were replaced with modern leather and orange stitching. The metal finishes, accent panel finishes, and seats are all different colors. The rear seats are {{convert|6|in|cm|0|abbr=on}} closer together to make room for the tonneau cover. The clarity of the circular gauges in square frames were improved by making the faces white with black chrome numbers and a red anodized needle. The deep-dish three-spoke steering wheel and four-pack gauge cluster carryover over from the coupe concept. Chrome seat-belt buckles are designed to look like the iconic belts buckles in late 1960s GM cars. This reworked interior of the Camaro Convertible Concept is now a very close representation of what will be seen in the production version of the Camaro.{{clear}}

Other features include a fully independent four-wheel suspension system, variable-rate power steering, four-wheel [[disc brake]] systems standard on all models (four-piston Brembo calipers on SS models), a StabiliTrak electronic stability/traction control system, Competitive/Sport modes for the stability system offered on SS models, [[Launch control (automotive)|launch control]] on SS models equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, and 6 standard air bags that include head curtain side-impact air bags and front seat-mounted [[thorax]] side air bags.
