This car has been in the system for a few days to get to this point of production.
It marks the first of the customer ordered vehicles produced, meaning that your orders are following behind.
Although we haven't reached full schedule yet, our numbers are increasing daily.
Be patient all, we are going as fast as we can..but WILL NOT JEAPORDIZE QUALITY to push throughput.

GREAT to hear these details............and I agree with others here.........take your time and build them right and GET THEM OUT THE DOOR. J/K

We know you all have ours and your best interests in mind on these cars. We know we will get perfection...............thanks to you and everyone else.

Sweet!

I can see it now when Rick Hendrick goes to pick up his car...
"Mr Hendrick We know you paid 350,000 dollars for the first production Camaro to roll off our assembly line, but we must tell you we have been making Camaros that the dealers will get and sell for weeks now. Sorry but yours was not actually the first production car but the first car built on the first day of announced production".. Now If I was him I would not be happy about that...

camaro1 · 03-14-2009, 07:42 PM

exactly,, about 200+ people could end up with cars more valuable than his

Angrybird 12 · 03-14-2009, 07:51 PM

I know what they are doing.. They HAVE been building them for weeks now, and they will starting tomorrow line them all back up in order and drive each one off the line like it was just built that day, so mr Hendrick Will get the first production Camaro, but he could have had it weeks ago...

I for one believe what Fbodfather says, and he stated that if he lied to us he would have no credibility with anyone. Do you think he would risk that, his reputation and credibility?

Some will be used for displays - -some will be used for training sessions (product training--)

Most will be returned to Detroit -- gone over with a fine tooth comb -- retrofitted with the latest and greatest 'stuff' -- and then sent to the GM Auction where dealers may bid on them as "used Divisional company vehicles"....so many of them will reach happy owners.

Others may be used for testing at Milford when they return to Detroit -- and some may be used for 'other' purposes....

How could he attend these Camaro events and look anyone in the eye...he is not a politician, He is a CAR GUY...4

If you believe him then you know come Monday, (without lining all the cars back up) Hendrik's car will finish it's last couple hours of final assembly on the line and he, himself, will drive it out through the "Pearly Gates". There is absolutely NO WAY Hendrik doesn't get car 00000001; they simply aren't that stupid.

Shortly behind will be car #2, then #3,... and before you know it, we will start to see our cars. Still think the dealer cars were first? It's really easy to find out; look at the VINs on the V6s on the showroom floors on May 6th and report them back here...

Trust in the Fbodfather.

Uh, I was being sarcastic about them lining them all up and running them back through...If you have been reading all of my posts on this subject you know I do not think the dealers cars were first... And I trust Fbodfather 100% over a line worker...

Rick Hendrick's car will be the first 2010 Camaro. The CTF cars are VIN'd as 2009 models:

OUR72GTO · 03-14-2009, 09:54 PM

So that make's the 2009 # 0000001 worth some money!

Can some one decipher the VIN on the car in Vancouver last week?

camaro1 · 03-14-2009, 09:59 PM

the pic of the vin you posted is a 2010 vin,, the 10th digit is the year

2000 =0
2001 =1
2002 =2
2003 =3
2004 =4
2005 =5
2006 =6
2007 =7
2008 =8
2009 =9
2010 =A

2G1FF1EV7A9000273 this is not a 2009 vin

Only if the price of scrap metal goes up.

. Truth is, we will never know how many of the first cars were scrapped.
