Yep. I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to buy such primitive beasts. That said, I'll take a dinosaur like the Z/28 over the current trend towards cars with smaller displacement, boosted V8 engines. Ten times out of ten...

Bingo! Completely agreed.

According to earlier posts the number of 2014 Z/28's could be well below 500 units.

I spoke with someone from GM on Friday of last week about my order. He advised that he was told 336 were to be built yet that number has changed every week.

I was reading about the limited edition (100) Mopar Challengers that sold out in a day and was thinking how odd that anyone would get excited about those with the Z/28 around.

Unless there is some compelling change for '15 I'd think the '14 would be more collectible.

I have difficulty believing that there will be any difference on resale b/t the two cars, provided they are essentially the same car.

I doubt a short production run in a given year coupled with larger numbers in other years creating enhanced value, unless that short run had unique attributes. My Porsche Turbo is an example, as 94 was the only year with the 3.6 motor, and only 400 produced for the US.

Good question. I think there is a long history of this with US makes. I don't know if that's because the US factories kept detailed information on the builds, so that collectors could easily find out if their car was somehow unique or "special". Maybe someone here could clarify this.

I don't honestly care if my 2014 Z/28 is collectible or not. It is a tool -- a beautiful tool that I will lovingly care for, but a track-day tool nonetheless. The loss of a friend to cancer, about 3 years back, made me vow to never own a garage queen again. Life's too short to not fully enjoy what we have NOW -- so if Chevy will just build and ship my car, I can get busy wearing out Trofeos... :D

I hear you man.

I'm not a collector type, I want cars as drivers not showpieces.

:amen:

I like your thinking, I've felt this way for some time as well.

I just talked to someone who has been a supplier of fairly accurate info. He tells me that production of 2015 Camaro models (z/28's were not specifically mentioned) will start on June 16th. That means orders should be taken sometime in the next some weeks.

Hmmm, we'll see. :popcorn:

Yees00911 04-14-2014 08:34 PM

Congratulations sounds like we have twins!

No Excuses 04-14-2014 11:51 PM
