Default Last Built T/A

Just a quick iPhone picture I snapped of it yesterday. The last T/A that rolled off the assembly line. It had 54 miles on it, and still even had a new car smell inside it...
I drooled...

That's a heck of a picture from a phone! Impressive quality.
I see the window sticker still displayed on the passenger side as well. Very cool and nice to see the T/A preserved like that, even though I can't imagine not driving it at least a few hundred miles per year. Do you know if the owner lives locally there in GA or did he have it trailered to the show??

Actually GM still owns it. The original window sticker is still on the passenger window. The guy who takes care of it said that the fbody gathering is one of 2 car shows it goes to each year. They auctioned off the last built Camaro and it went for 78k. He said they have no plans of ever getting rid of this one. It was in brand new condition, looked like it could have just been driven off the showroom floor. He said its parked in a guarded garage right beside the brand new C7 vette they are keeping. They brought out a 2014 Ss Camaro as well, plus a few zl1's. When I saw this one though, I almost needed to change underpants.. Lol

Glad to see they're still showing it in public. I saw it for the first time back at the Trans Am Nationals in 2003.

The WS6 conversion was done off-site. This is how they all rolled off the GM assembly line.
