Wie bereits angekündigt, wurde an diesem Wochenende in Scottsdale/Arizona, der erste produzierte 2010 Chevrolet Camaro versteigert! Für 350.000 Dollar hat sich der Käufer somit den allerersten Camaro gesichert, welcher in etwa einem Monat offiziell vom Band laufen wird. Dabei kann er sich die Farbe und Ausstattung seiner Wahl einbauen lassen. Bereits im letzten Jahr ging die erste 2009 Corvette ZR-1, für unglaubliche 1 Million Dollar, an einen neuen Besitzer. Der Erlös ging dabei komplett an die American Heart Association.

First Retail Production 2010 Chevrolet Camaro:

One very passionate Camaro enthusiast at the 2009 Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction will come away with the keys to the first regular retail production-built unit of Chevy’s all-new, 21st Century Sports Car. This first Camaro built for regular retail production will have a VIN ending with #100001. Chevrolet ceased production of the fourth-generation of their vaunted sports car in 2002. Four years later, Camaro appeared as a surprise concept vehicle at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The new production Camaro remains steadfastly true to that concept, with an eye-catching design reminiscent of the storied 1969 Camaro, but equipped with modern technology and a GM-estimated 27 MPG highway when equipped with the available V6 engine. Importantly, the winning bidder will have the ability to spec and order their Camaro to their liking, choosing from several colors, V6 or V8 engines, a manual or automatic transmission, and various trim packages and free-flow options. The vehicle will be built on the first day of retail production — scheduled for early 2009. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the American Heart Association, a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: „Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.“ The association’s impact goal is to reduce coronary heart disease, stroke and risk by 25 percent by 2010. Please join GM, Chevrolet, Barrett-Jackson and the American Heart Association in pursuit of this very worthwhile effort, and be the first to own Chevy’s 21st Century Sports Car, the 2010 Chevy Camaro.
