So, as some of you may know, I work for a Chevrolet dealer in West Palm Beach. This week is the Barrett-Jackson auction at the South Florida Fairgrounds down here, so GM shipped us like 30 cars to PDI and ship over for the show (Ride n Drive, display, etc). So this past Tuesday, we had to bring 15 of them out to the fairgrounds so they could start setting up the display. As I'm parking a Grand Sport that I got to drive over there, I notice a car carrier with a bunch of GM cars, so I get closer and I see this:
Much to my dismay, they wouldn't unload it for me to see any closer. I was told it was VIN C9100001 and that it would be auctioned for charity being that it's the 1st ZL1 production convertible.
Long story longer, Thursday rolls around and I can't wait until 2:00 so I could head over for opening day at the auction. I walk in the front door and I see this:
Then as I get closer...this:
It's awesome. It's the same system as the 2013 Malibu (MyLink).
Then I noticed something extremely wierd. The last 8 of the VIN were
BXXXXXXX. For those of you unfamiliar with VIN decoding, "B" signifies it's a 2011 model ("C" would be 2012, "D" would be 2013). Not that important, but odd because that infotainment system isn't supposed to be out until 2013.
Thought you all would enjoy.
