I emailed the Fbodfather about 2 People claiming to own the last Camaro Built for the public!!!


Here's a brief story from the Fbodfather................

Waaaaaaaaayyy back in, I believe, early 2001, I put in a request to have
the last Camaro and Firebird built for the GM Collection.........and one
for sale. The two going into the GM Collection would be 'non-saleables'
and the third car from the end would be the 'last saleable
Camaro'......(period!)

I know that GM of Canada was concerned when they asked for the cars and lo
and behold, I'd already tied them up .....perhaps a year or so beforehand.

Now......it's important to understand that you could not build two
Convertibles in a row........simply because of the build process. In fact,
to my knowledge, the only time it happened was the LAST TWO CARS coming
down the line.............(see below)

I can assure you that the last three cars off the line........on the
conveyor..........final assembly......were:

172461...........Red Z28 Coupe.........LAST SALEABLE 4th Gen CAMARO. was
third from end -auctioned off at Kruse Auburn Auction over Labor Day, 2002.
172466 ........Red Trans Am Convert............LAST 4th Gen FIREBIRD
BUILT.....NON SALEABLE......second from end........resides in GM Collection
172467.......,,Red Z28 convertible..........LAST 4th Gen CAMARO
BUILT....NON SALEABLE

Is there a 172465.......172464............172463........and 172461?

Yes.........those are the VIN sequences.....but that is not how they came
down the line. Our Friend who won the auction at Kruse bought the LAST
SALEABLE 4th Gen Camaro .........it was the third car from the end.......

While I do not know what GM of Canada did with the last Camaro and FIrebird
built for GM of Canada, I suspect that the Black Convertible in question
was the last Saleable Camaro Convertible........or the last Saleable Camaro
for GM of Canada.........but it was not one of the last three cars off the
line.
