Well, if I had the VIN, I would be able to look it up an find out. Not likely that car will be crushed either. This close to production starting, I guarantee that it's a sellable VIN.

They were older 6 gens, probably faded paint like silver or something like that and they
needed to ad the pop factor. Couple issues though. What color were the jambs and inside of trunk. I never stopped and looked. I think the first year for shock yellow was 2019 so it caught my eye not only seeing an older car with that color but THEY HAD 2!! Like they got a good deal on a few gallons of shock yellow paint. Back when they were sold I never saw a shock yellow car on a lot and probably have only seen 2 ever driving around. People will clone the CE for sure. I wouldnt, its ugly

You may be right, but without the VIN we’ll never know. I’ve driven many preproduction cars with special VINs that never made it to the marketplace.

Don't they usually get crushed?

Usually, although they can live on as test mules for newly developed parts for future models - which isn’t very likely since Camaro production is ending.

Not always. I actually saw one of Mark Dickens' 2013 1LE CTF cars run through GM dealer auction. It was a black 1LE with sunroof and gray interior and they never offered gray interior on the 1LE for regular production. Notice who is driving it in the pics below.

Not always.at the end of the CTF, it'll depend on if and what 'special; parts were installed during the testing period. If it still has all stock parts on it, then it can be re-sold.
If it contains 'specialy parts, then no it cannot be resold.

I always loved that gray interior

There are actually two built now. My guess is #1 goes to Hendrick and #350 goes to Al

The post is appreciated.

I'm still disappointed the 2.0T isn't available in 2024. I had planned on a Collectors Edition.
