We saw the last few customer cars, #'s 65, 66 & 67, well along in production. Again, the cars all look great no matter what stage in the build process you observe and no corners are cut to make these full race cars completed to show quality. GM will surely have very satisfied owners and this highly visible project should earn them some well deserved credit.

Hi,
Did you happen to see #58, white 427 with blue stripes?
Thanks for any info,
Chuck

Yes, #58 was well underway, already over on the clean/final assembly side of the facility. Once I get my photos from the guy I had there covering my delivery I will look and see if any are of your car and get them to you. I used the guy GM hires to do the copo engine build photography, Mark Kelly of MPK photo, great guy. For $200 he shot, get ready for this, over 300 pictures of the plant and my car and the entire delivery. I'll be getting a disc to print what I want and just view the rest. Should have disc next week. Shoot me PM with your contact info and I'll see what I have.

Interesting to see if it makes the reserve

The COPO that I bid on from Ebay didn't hit the reserve. It went up to:

US $144,995.00

and still didn't sell. Not that I have anywhere near that kind of money, lol. I'm very surprised that it bid up that high to be honest. If you have that kind of money to throw around for a 2012, then you should have the ability to make some calls to get yourself a 2013.

I was watching this one on Ebay.

It is a 427 car but sold at a lower price than some of the others are asking. Still I agree that waiting till 2013 cars are available and you will be way ahead. Prices should be realistic and the first year bugs may be worked out.

2013 are all SOLD from what I was told... List of buyers ready before they even announced the 2013 run.

Re: Copo camaro on racing junk
 
I believe that GM has not allocated the 2013 run of COPO Camaros to buyers at this point but is accepting applications from interested parties. These can easily be found at www.TheBLOCK.com in a story they did on announcing the 2013 run. I am guessing they will also be accepting these at their next big Chevrolet Performance display at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in January. In addition, GM has a huge list of inquiries that were not filled for 2012 and 69 more cars for 2013 is really a small number so my guess is they will in fact sell out quickly but this selection process is not done now from what I understand. The cars are spectacular, the buyers are satisfied and next season will really be when the fun begins at the track. GM is really using this new website I referred to, TheBLOCK, to distribute COPO news so if you have interest in these cars, tune in to the latest on this very interesting site.

Why are they only building 69 for 2013? It seems like they have sped up the building of the cars and can finish them much quicker than the first ones that they did. Maybe they could up the production to around 100? 125?
