Live from Oxford , MI - the Camaro COPO story - Part 3

[cambria]

Jack I have been getting calls about this post.And all I know is I am one happy guy and have been a GM guy all my life.For what it is worth and to me it is just to put all this to rest The very first COPO delivered to the public and driven out of the factory was the #3 car which is mine.I drove it out and the others followed and you were there. For whatever that is worth it is the undisputable fact.But more importantly I am a really lucky guy because my car is unique.The first three were built from a body in White and as a result mine does not have the square patch on the roof where the onstar antenna goes for bodies taken out of the production line .Also the first three cars have different seats than the other 66.Now lets put all this stuff into the histroy books and enjoy these babies.And drive yours in good health and see you at the track.

I believe your car was built by MPR himself.

You are indeed correct he came over at Indy to tell me he built the car and pointed out how unique it is I am sure Paula can sell it after I croak for a half mil easy but while I am on this side of tthe grass my copo will be coming to a track near you real soon

Probably so because her next husband could be a Ford guy.

Mr.Cambria - For months now yourself and others from your camp have tried to convince me that what I saw with my own eyes on August 7,2012 wasn't really what I saw .Since you are a learned man and an attorney I'll try and just state facts and nothing more .I agree with the fact that your car # 3 was the first car delivered to the public on August 8 , 2012 in Wixom , Michigan at the General Motors Powertrain Facility .

On August 7 , 2012 at the Oxford ,Michigan General Motors Build Facility I witnessed the first car roll out of the factory there .No ands , ifs , or buts .And it was not yours - it was car number 007 .It was followed by two white cars and then yours - fourth .

Websters dictionary ---- Factory -- A building appropiated to the manufacture of goods ; the place where workmen are employed in fabricating goods , wares , or utensils .My point is that nothing is built where your car was delivered in Wixom, MI thus its not the factory as you state .

As you'll see from the pictures below your car is fourth in line at the factory build center and last on the truck taking them to the Wixom facility .

Hopefully I've cleared this matter up -- Merry Christmas to all ...........

PS - Like you I'm a happy guy and have also been a GM man since the time I learned what those letters stood for .
