Exclamation Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

I was just curious if anyone else has heard this. Is the Camaro concept going to be thrown in the crusher? I heard from another board that in two weeks the concept will be flattened. I know that this is sometimes normal practice but this is the Camaro, it is special. Would they really crush a $15 million car that means so much to so many people?

Someone is full of crap. It will go in the GM Collection once it's time is over. They do crush production prototypes though.

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

That would be funny...Didn't they say that it cost $8 million to make? Someone is pulling your leg.

At the very least it'll be touring during the entire show season.

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

Not even close to being true. They have a schedule for the car going into late this year, and many more dates are expected to be added.

We will not see this car get scrapped for MANY years to come...if ever.

Where the heck was this said?

I read it on another Camaro site I frequently look at.

I had a hard time believing this too because I knew that the car was scheduled for many more shows and GM would have a bunch of VERY angry Camaro enthusiasts if they crushed it.

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

I know 1983(?) Corvettes that made it out were destroyed by GM, thats why only 1 exists from that year.

But I'm sure after this car makes it tours, it'll be retired to the GM museum.

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

83 Vettes were pre-production mules. That's why they were destroyed. There were only 13 made I believe. The last remaining is in the National Corvette Museum. After seeing the GM Heritage museum I'm sure the Camaro concept is destined a place there alongside the last 4th gen Camaro and Firebird.

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

Speaking of the last 4th gen, I wonder how the guy that paid $70K to own the last Camaro (available to the public at least) feels now?

"Great, now I own the second to last Camaro ever made (until they make the fifth gen)."

That is a pretty wild statement. I am surpised it even got noticed for it being so outlandish. Don't worry, it is not true.

To some people stuff like that is a big deal . That car was still the end of an era . If it were to be sold , another collector will ****** it up qwik .

Re: Concept Camaro in the Crusher!?!?!?

Too bad it was produced on August 27th and not August 31st. I'd love to have the last Camaro made on my birthday. I haven't seen the guy or the car since it was presented to him at Berger Chevy in October of 2002.
