Ebay Camaro - Can this be right?? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The number of cars that have actually been assembled vs made read and have vin's. 2 diff things. \
(you can't go off a spread sheet of the forum. Of course not every buyer is on this forum and signed that list).

The number is probably right but the car is probably weeks away from prep and delivery.

And we all know that isn't the case.

Here's a couple more for you to try...

Yea, I just made them up but they're partially valid as the check digit is right and the first block (2G1f) is valid. The rest... not so much. Just as valid as the one in that ebay listing.

Good job!

There are so many scammers listing items on Ebay and ripping off the buyers. These are just more examples of whats been going on for awhile now. Be careful in any transaction via Ebay.

The "spread sheet" has nothing to do with who is on this forum. It uses the GM website to check every possible VIN combination to see if it has been built. If it has been, it will display the window sticker information on the page GM web page, allowing us to pull that info down. That VIN number is impossible for reasons I already stated (more than just the last 4 digits). Ignore the facts if you wish but thems the facts.

I am surprised some people still don't realize that you aren't just pulling vin #s out your a**!

I thought last checked they had topped 5205 for VIN's? or am i hallucinating hoping mine gets built sooner.

The facts that he offers world-wide shipping (illegal at this point) and his web site is a .PL instead of .COM should also be big warning signs.

Someone heard from a friend at the plant who works in the body shop that they were in the 5000s. The body shop is very different than fully produced. They are days ahead of the finish.
