Came across this on ebay. Wow, $50,000. Think he will even get close to that? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...67986756QQrdZ1

 

Well, someone has already bid on it!

 

Nice ride, but $50,000?? How could you buy that and pass on a 92 firehawk? Unless you are one of the few that have the $$$ and a collector of f-bodies. Me no way.

Laters,
Conrad

 

Notice that, at $50,000 the reserve is still not met.

 

I saw the reserve not met. Wonder what he really wants for it?

 

WOW!!! i love thoes pictures man i e-mailed him to see if he has any more pictures that he could send me i hope he does man thats a cool car!!

 

I didnt read the whole description just skimmed it, but did it say anything about coming with official photos showing the signatures or something because other then tearing the car apart and taking your own photos, theres no real proof to the buyer that i can see...

Well the engine signatures but showing off all of them would be a major plus.

 

i thought the van nuys plant shut down in 87'?

 

That would be Norwood...

 

Lookie what I just happen to have in my "collection" of documentation:

 

The original is very clear. When I shrunk it to fit here, it lost significant quality. Bummer....

Willie

 

willie it's like u have every thing on every camaro

any way i think 50000$ is way too much
like u guys said must be a really ritch collector.

bu that car is not to be driven it should be placed in
a museum,

 

sucks that u cant justify driving that



but HOT DAMN THATS AWESOME!!! PAINT DELETE ON WHEELS!!!

DROOL!

please rename this post "the last third gen ever made", not would you pay 50k...wtf ppl

 

that car is good for some one like jay leno who has a hugh collection. but he is asking way too much for it.

 

dude, its the final car produced there, and its a camaro. Its so worth it

 

Wow! As much as I hate red interior, that car is awesome. L98, Zo3, Fe2, G92. I couldn't possibly convince myself to drive it, though, if I bought it

 

I wouldn't....

Now if it were a Trans Am......that would be worth it.

 

Yes its worth it, and yes it will find a home in a collection.

 

Did you guys notice the VIN? The sequential number ends in 170008. All records indicate that 70,007 Camaros were built in 1992. This implicates the last sequential number should be 170007. Interesting...

Willie

 

Could the black Pontiac be the last thirdgen Firebird built?

 

Firebird and Camaro VIN sequentual numbers are independent of each other. Please correct, but don't Firebird sequential numbers start with 2xxxxxx every year?

In fact, I have the same RPO document for 170007, a Camaro. It is a t-topped Z28 with a 305 TPI, auto and Heritage Appearance Package. It does not have G92.

Both 170007 and 170008 have RPO 1AZ which means both were customer ordered.

Willie

 

You are correct Willie, I was just "throwing it out there"

 

i e-mailed the guy and he said theres hundreds of pictures that i guess he took of the car as its going through the plant. i wish he would scan some of the pictures so that we could have them on here. maby some one else should try? this get me thinking it would be really cool to have the first thirdgen ever made parked next to the last thirdgen ever made and take some pictures. does any one know who has the first thirdgen ever made?

 

i agree.

 

HAHA!! RED INTERIOR RULES!!!!

 

The guy emaild me back he did give me some stuff to work on when i have time.

"The car is not on any websites that I am aware of. It was in most of the large newspapers, many California TV news broadcasts and the Tonight Show. The program "Steals and Deals" also did a segment on the car. Do you know if the UAW645(United Auto Workers) office is still open? It was located near the old plant. They would have info on the car and plant closing."

 

Could also be possible tis not the "last" car built :-)

Same kind of deal went on with the last Grand National after production was set for 6 more mths.

Dealer owner got the "2nd to last car" for public and the actual last "car" was kept by Buick itself...........

Dunno, just throwing out ideas here.

And if I had the cash I would buy that car.

Than in honor of all the plant workers who lost jobs after long careers there, I would do one damned big doughnut followed by a block long tire roaster :-)

Its what they were made for

If "said" car proves to be legit, someone here should get pictures and all available info now while we have the chance to save it at thirdgen.org. Rather than risk it being lost

Wow, I never knew a car like that existed! Kinda sad too

If anyone has hi-res pics of it, please do let me know.

 

I will do what ever I can to get some documentation from the owner. Maybe he'd be willing to set us up if he knew we were trying to preserve the history of this car longer. I'll contact him tonight.

 

I'm currently on the phone with the owner, Leonard. He might be willing to work with me if he can validate who I am. Wish me luck.

 

I was conversing via email with him. I guess those are the only pics he has, as he doesn't have any larger ones on his PC.

 

wow...this guy cant get away from anyone! lol

 

Leonard was willing to talk to me about the car and his documentation. I informed him of TGO and he might even register. We need to work out some details regarding getting the documentation from him. He is willing to get us whatever he has, however, he doesn't really want the documentation to leave his possession. I guess I would be the same since it is very rare and irreplaceable.

Give us some time to work it all out and we'll see what I can get documented. I asked him to register and discuss the car and his stories with us on here. He informed me that there are a few Firebirds out there with Camaro headrests because they ran out at the end. He was there when they opted to use them.

I have other calls to make regading this, so it might take a few days before I even can updat on our progress.

 

awesome

 

scottmoyer you ROCK!! i cant wait to hear some more info on this car! also some one said this car was on the late show? man i wish i could see some footage of that or some of the tv news brodcasts that would be cool to have in the movies section.

 

From what I understand, he has copies of most of that. He said that people from all over were sending him copies of articles they found in newspapers and such. I will do what I can do and what my wife will allow me afford.

This is exciting to me. I feel like I just one the eBay auction!!

 

I think a personalized plate I had a long time ago would be appropriate:

 

Unfortunately, Willie, that's an 81 plate. That's not 3rd gen related!

 

me to ever time i open my e-mail i just flip out and this the first link i click on. i love thiedgen history

 

Unfortunately, Willie, that's an 81 plate. That's not 3rd gen related!

Technicalities!! I had it on my '74 Z......

 

Damn that looks familiar!!!

 

David!!!

Glad to see you're still around here!! I still have the note you mailed me with these two forms! Forever thanks!

Willie

 

You're welcome! Glad to be of service. Also good to finally see the last third-gen and it's owner make an appearance on the boards!

 

Scott, I may have told you wrong or you may have heard me wrong. They put Firebird headrests on the gray cloth interior Camaros the last day of production. I am not sure how you could tell the difference by looking at them unless there is a part number on them somewhere.

Leonard

 

Edit: reposted in second thread.

 

Leonard thanks for taking the time to make an appearance here. Any documentation you can contribute would be great.

 

BTW, to answer the question, yes I would pay $50,000. If I had that kinda money to throw around! I would then donate it to a climate controlled museum so that it would last forever.

 

Leonard, probably my mistake. You know the details of what happened, so you probably said it correctly and I screwed it up. Ask the people here, I do that from time to time!

 

Put that car in Barrett Jackson and look out. I would to see what it would bring. Awesome.
