I see them on Ebay and Racingjunk every once in a while. Obviously, there are a ton of used 2010 - 2015 Camaros out there.

I have heard that the only carry over part from the Gen 5 to Gen 6 is the deck lid emblem!

I doubt that you will see any COPO/CRC cars getting converted. The production cars have a cowl. Replacing that would be a pain. Also, the NHRA has mandated a 12-bolt for this combination.

My opinion on the new "production" cars is not that there is any kind of conspiracy. Instead, as I have said many times before, there is a movement of very positive folks out there that want to see these cars in the mix. These cars give the average guy a COPO/Drag Pak/Cobra Jet alternative.

As Jack said, the COPO 350 is a much better combination at this time. It would also be a bunch more expensive to build from scratch.
