Re: Last third gen?

Yes, the owner of the last Camaro produced is a member of this board.

No, that is not his car.

LeonardS has the last Third Generation F-Body Camaro, which came out of the Van Nuys plant on August 27, 1992. He toured the plant and watched his car get built.

Leonard still has the car.

Unknown as far as I know. The first Trans Am went to Universal and where probably destroyed in the making of Knight Rider. The First Camaro (as I understand) went to Guilstrand and it's current whereabouts is unknown. It was a gold Z28.

Yeah, I dug out the magazine article I have on the Gulstrand car, but it was not the issue that showed the 100001 VIN tag- I remember that from '82!

You know which issue? I have WAY too many old mags, to even begin digging through to find it!
