Lets just say hypothetically...
Tommorow GM said, we're going to get one of the Concept Camaros, we're going to get rid of all the governors that limit drivability, and we're going to put it on Ebay. The next day it was on there. What kind of money do you think the public would pay to own the only 5th Gen Camaro on the road?

Waaaaaaaaaaay too much. You're going to get some rich old fart, who has more money than you can shake a stick at, put in a huge, exorbitant bid that keeps everyone else out of the running.

Plus, you wouldn't be able to drive the concept on public roads, let alone register it or have it pass any safety or emission standards.
Sorry, It's a CONCEPT car, not a early production vehicle (which could gain a VIN number & be sold). If it were ever sold, it would be via a GM auction (just like Ford did a few years ago) and go to either a museum or to a collector who'd never be able to take it on a public road.
Most likely, the car will either end up permanently in GM's concept collection, or crushed.

What automobile company has ever sold off any concepts on "e-bay"?

Although you are correct about the concept, the Transformers movie car started life as a GTO and was re-bodied. Wouldn't that GTO already have a VIN? You'd be basically driving a kit car.

Really? There are plenty more Camaro enthusiasts out there with deep pockets.
While Jay is a GM guy, he's never been a Camaro guy per se. He's more likely to buy another Dussey or Porsche.

guionM,
We don't have to get all technical and stuff. We are just figuring that you could be the lucky person to own a 5th gen before it comes out. Whether it were to hit Barret Jackson, Ebay, or a wholesale Auction. What would the price be. Imagination is the key here.

Why buy a concpet that is really not driveable when you can get nearly the same car in full street trim in year and half for $28,000.
Once the street cars hit the concpet will be retired the collection at GM after a job well done and will remembered but for the most part out of our minds for the most part because we will have newer concepts to follow the will be doing it's job.
Anyone remember the California Camaro Concept of the 4th Gen?
All in all I would rather have a drivable car for a lot less. One that does not say "do not slam" on the underside of the deck lid so you won't crack the body panel.

I'm sort of surprised nobody has made their own 5th gen kit car based on a GTO. If Saleen already made one, we know it is possible. Without GM supplying the body panels you would have to mold your own. I've seen kit cars get carved out of styrofoam and body filler so molds can be pulled off them and panels can be made. It takes an artist's eye, but with all the photographs avalable of the 5th gen it wouldnt be to hard to do.
