The interiors are very primitive in that there is lots of hard plastic -- no graining -- parts in some cases are velcroed together -- or glued/taped.

Unfortuntely, because of the above, they cannot be sold -- and as a result, they are crushed after recycling as many materials as possible........

Yes -- we've had people offer money for them -- along with their willingness to sign a waiver -- the problem is that a waiver is no good once they sell the vehicle to a second owner..........

So -- some of the material just MAY make it into your new Camaro -- because of recycling..........

We did keep an Alpha and a Beta of the C5 Corvette -- so I'd like to keep a Beta IVER of the Camaro --

.........because I think a lot of Camaro Enthusiasts would like to see where Shunt actually lived -- whoops
-- I mean -- I think people would like to see what an IVER looks like up close ---
Well you could leave them in out in a parking lot some place, with the keys in them. GM can't be liable for a car that was stolen from them, can they?
