Agreed. My favorite part. Gives it a unique touch.

+1. If I remember right that was one of the interior designs from sema or something a year or so ago. Hope they make it an option I'm the future.

What a great car....lovin it!

Why do they keep putting those Mustang stripes on these cars lately?

fbodfather · 01-20-2011, 09:02 PM

A bit of trivia -

........when GM Design was still working on the concept - I walked into the studio one day......

.........and on the opposite wall from the door, there was a large (very large) picture - it was a picture of all the classic Camaro pace cars on the track at Indy - and in the foreground, someone had photoshopped a Camaro Convertible - almost EXACTLY as you see it in the thread........

I must admit - I got a lump in my throat and my eyes got real watery....(they leak a lot...)

I mean - the concept was still in clay - and this picture was such a vision of what everyone wished for........

.........and with tonight's announcement - it becomes reality......

I just saw it unveiled at Barrett Jackson on TV. It is an awesome looking car. They had it next to a 68 (I think) with the same color scheme. Now I would buy one of those if I had the bucks!

This is a sweet looking car. I never wanted to get the convertible but this would be tempting if I didn't already have my coup. Nice job guys! Congrats Scott.
