Spilled!!!! I start Friday on the Parts counter.Yay,no longer unemployed.
No fingers crossed or anything just had to wait for it to happen.
As I was driving out waiting to get onto 28th St a bright YELLOW 2010 Camaro was coming out to the parking lot.So maybe I can get pictures of it maybe sooner than next wednesday.
I'm really nervous/excited to start friday,but I will be ok.

The white 2001 and red second gen next to the Motion car are zmanrc's.

The next is a Berger COPO.I went to school with the owner and his sister.Didn't know he had it until 2 years ago.Very nice car.

Are those white stripes on the new Camaro a factory option? They look silly with that 1/2" split running right through the front of the hockey stick.

Very neat car...but if it's the real deal I would take off that T/A wing and put the correct Motion 3-post wing on...love the color combo...looks just like the "Skip's Fiesta Drive-In" Revell model car.

Kendal, nice to meet you as well. Looks like you should have a long career with a great company.
What a great party! You can't ask for better folks than the Bergers http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif:):) They said they were serving "light snacks", how bout 50-60 large pizzas! Had them brought in 10 at a time so they were always hot http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Count I heard was 57 camaro's in front of the dealership http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Made the news on at least 2 TV stations at 6 and 11. It was a GREAT time!!!
Many of us knew that Tammy Loudon's car was being delivered but "somehow" no one told her. Can't believe we kept the secret. She was saying how she just hoped it would be delivered before power Tour LOL. After the unleasing Matt said "Tammy, I need your car moved out front" and there it was http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif:):) How many times do you see the dealership owner putting your tags on LOL.

The motion car belongs to a WMCC member we only see a couple of times a year. From what I have been told he has had the car since the early 80's and have always been told it was the real deal. I do not know if it has been verified with Joel or not.

I gotta agree about that split in the front of the hockey stripe on the yellow car. That looks terrible! I really hope that's not factory.

That is the factory vinyl stripe. The gap is where 2 body panels meet. But if I understood them correctly, they are currently not being done at the factory. There is a GM rep going dealer to dealer installing them.

I understand thats WHY it's split, just saying it looks terrible like that. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Was hoping to hear that it was just a one-off trim shop job rather than a factory applied stripe.

Thanks for the pics and info! I guess I should just shut up and be happy the Camaro is at least being built again...

I would think that they'd be able to fix that so it's not so obvious... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Personal opinion; it needs a thinner stripe adjoining it on top or maybe on both sides like the '69s. Just has an unfinished look the way it is. Same for the hood panel.

Even the Camaro car covers are cool.

The silver COPO most be an early build, with no tach in the dash. No stripes, and a console shifted TH400, just like mine. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

The day after picking it up, the camaro went to the body shop to make the gap better and add pinstripes.
I think it looks GREAT now! That's the way GM should be doing it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes they do look better day 2'd.

If you look at the Texas intro the silver Camaro with the accessory ground effects on it has the same split in the stripe.Maybe the instructions to install the stripes shows them installed with the gap in them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

It's almost 2 weeks of being employed and what a ride(a good one http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif).Maybe some photos of the new warehouse before everything gets moved in this weekend.

While on lunch break I ventured out to the warehouse.Man is it big.

This is the front and entrance.

Four doors to unload at.

Dennis,according to the GM parts catalog the SS is the one that gets the extra mail slot up top on the nose. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The Black SS in the showroom just left with the new owners who were driving it to California. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
