The last Camaro....what's it worth???

**Zedder** · #1 08-20-2005, 08:56 AM

A friend of mine owns the last 2002 Camaro built for the public (GM kept the very last car produced for their collection) and he is thinking about selling it. He has a letter from GM stating that it is the last Camaro sold to the public. Any ideas on what it might be worth??? It's a black on black Z-28 Convertible, 1SA, polished wheels, leather, multi-disc CD, 6 speed. It's brand new and still in the wrapper...list price was $43,465 Canadian. Any help would be appreciated.

Seems to me i remember this car being sold new at auction and went for silly money back in 2002... is this correct?

I'd like to see documentation on that.
The last camaro sold to the public was a red Z28 that GM put on Ebay with the proceeds going to charity. It is very well documented. Ebay price was a little over $70K.
Member of our club bought and owns the car and it is currently on display at the Gilmore Car museum.

In a few years it will be the last of the 4th generation!

No, this car was not sold at auction. My friend is a GM dealer here in Ontario and got the car directly from GM. The letter from GM Vintage Services dated Feb 5, 2003 states:

"...the final Camaro/Firebird produced at Ste. Therese was a Camaro convertible , VIN XXXXXXXXXXXXXX467 on August 27, 2002, at approx. 8:49 am. This vehicle has apparantly been retained by Chevrolet Division, and has not been offered for sale to the public.

Your vehicle was the second last Camaro, and the third last convertible produced at Ste. Therese.

The second last Convertible, and the last Firebird, carries VIN XXXXXXXXXXXXXX466.

We trust this is the info you require...."

Does anyone know the VIN of the ebay Camaro? Thanks for the responses so far!

I specifically remember the car to be red too... It was highly publicized, i even remember hearing about it selling for 70k+ on the radio one morning on my way to work... I wonder how the car your buddy has could also be the last camaro? Unless maybe they later decided to sell the very last one they claimed was going to be "retained by Chevrolet and not offered for sale", which was the red car that brought 70+k. If thats the case, it makes the black one alot less collectible IMO.
