If I feel reallllyyyyyyy adventurous I will drive back out there myself in my Camaro tomorrow and climb a salesman ass and see what they say. But its like 20 miles one way

You know I'll add this....It is very possible that it was built this way at Oshawa (with the incorrect fascia) in my 22 years of working at GM dealerships I've seen some strange things like this happen,specifically with trucks...we've received Chevy trucks with "GMC" emblemed tailgates,or with "GMC" horn pads/air bags.
I also remember receiving a Corvette that had the optional polished wheels,but inside the package in the car (the one that has all the books,manuals,floor mats,etc.) were "non-polished" painted center caps for the wheels.
I know you would think someone at the assembly plant would notice,but like I said,I've seen some pretty strange stuff on brand-new vehicles right off the carrrier.

Could be!

I just want to ask the dealer what there take on it is. It's clearly not built the way its supposed to be. I sure wouldn't buy an SS without its proper nose.

Looks like the answer is, "yep." I thought about doing it just to blow a few Mustang's minds. Still a lot of puppy left in this old dog.

The two are so similar, maybe whoever ordered it didn't know it was the wrong front bumper? Not everyone are as familiar with 5th gen camaros as some of us here are.

The exhaust looks like a v6. Thats not an SS.

Cam2011 · 10-28-2012, 09:12 PM

Factory sleeper series?

So they also put the Brembos on it?

Edit: In case I forget to call I just emailed them as well. I'm curious as hell.

You're wrong. It's an SS with a replaced bumper cover... I think that's been established already. Why it was replaced is the question.

i remember reading a story here not too long ago where someone bought a new camaro, and it had 3 polished wheels, and one was something else...so yeah, strange things happen sometimes lol...he still took it home and was happy with it while the dealership was getting him his 4th wheel

BLACK10 · 10-28-2012, 09:47 PM

a friend has a 2010 #150 or so, that has black seats and tan headrest......

i think it this one was damaged and they replaced it with the wrong front facia

Maybe it's already sold and the buyer wanted the v6 bumper put on. Or just be a factory mistake.
