That's a cool find, thanks for posting it. Anybody have any ideas how much it'll go for, or who (famous person) (Jay Leno?) might make a move for it?

1st 2010 Camaro to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson

FROM Autoblog/Motor Trend

"Bidding for the first retail production 2010 Chevy Camaro is set to begin in Prime Time on Saturday, January 17, 2009 at the Barret-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. A similar move was made last year when the first production Corvette ZR1 managed to rake in an astounding one-million dollars. Like that ZR1, all proceeds will be given to charity, in this case, the American Heart Association, so anything over the car's list MSRP will be tax deductible, which is nice.

Regular production of Chevy's new pony car won't begin until a month after the auction takes place, so the Camaro on display in Scottsdale won't be the actual unit being bid on. We're still awaiting official details, like if the Camaro – lot number 1316 for those interested in bidding (go for it, it's for charity!) – is a base model (seems unlikely) or a fully loaded SS model, complete with a 422-hp small block V8. Of course, the big question is how much it'll bring, and we'll be sure to have that figure for you as soon as the gavel falls."

I need to watch this!!

Stuff like this sets (can set) the tone for what the fair market value is of new cars...it will be interesting to watch/see the final price!

I'd guess it will go for ~300k.

No it doesn't. The first one is always grotesquely overpriced when purchased by some billionaire at Barrett-Jackson. The first ZR-1 selling for a million dollars certainly did not have any effect on the market price of other ZR-1s.

Nope. The 1st Shelby GT was sold for 600,000 dollars and you can currently get a used one for about 23K. It's the charity attached to the car that people are bidding all this money for,not so much the car. The ZR1 was for the United Way. I think the Camaro will go for 200-300K.

If the economy doesn't drastically change, I think it will go for 2-300k. The first Challenger last year went for 400k I think and Craig Jackson bought it himself. He'll probably buy the Camaro also, with the charity factor, its a write-off for him and he looks the "good" guy.
