Few movie stars have made as much of a following as McConaughey has. His muscle car of choice is his 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

Nevertheless, there were some good things about the second-generation Camaro. The interesting thing about the Camaro is the unique black paint job and the t-tops. While McConaughey is a spokesperson for Lincoln, he enjoys classic Chevrolets.
