Limited Run of the 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebird

Just announced this morning by GM Executives that a limited production run of the 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebirds, in ALL trim levels, will begin in May of 2015. GM officials stated that they will use the Saturn Facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Base price starting at 14-15k range and up to 28k for a "well optioned" vehicle.

The Limited production run will be 30,000 units each for the Camaro and Firebird.
The announcement came as the seated Chief Executive Officer, General Motors Company, Mary T. Barra and Mr.Dan Annman, President of GM, stated in a earlier meeting that they always wanted a 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebird, but were never able to purchase one.

The time has come guys, get in line. Head to your nearest Chevrolet dealer to order on today. Chevrolet will be handling the Pontiac line also.


Y'all have a great April Fools Day!!!!!!!

Let the beating begin!!!!!

I'll take a black and gold '84 Z28 with an L69/T5/3.73s. Rear discs, a radio and a camel Lear Siegler interior as the ONLY options.

If they put the LS3 on the option list I'm down even at three times the price.

I actually believed you for a second since Delorean recently did this (and might still be doing this) for the DMC-12 using mostly NOS parts.

EXACTLY what I was starting to think and then he hits us with april fools! I have always thought they might do this at some point. Bring back some classic cars in exact body trim with modern engines and technology. Wouldn't it be nice a 3rd gen with newer style corvette LS engine or an LS powered 64 Impala! wow

That would be awesome. I'd get in line.
With all the new technology from suspension to engine.

A new era TPI that can actually breathe and make some power!

LS?, All as option packages.
But keep the exterior body as it was. Change the things that were bad, like the Aero Wing and such. I guess it would almost be or would be a "resto mod"

Re: Limited Run of the 3rd Gen Camaro and Firebird
