new guy from Canada

Hi guys! I live 50 miles north of London Ontario... I am 61 and have owned a lot of old cars.. I have had 1-68,3-69's, 2-87's, 2-95's, a 98 and a 2000Camaros.. This summer I bought a 2010 Mustang GT Prem Convertible, 1600 miles on it (from Georgia) Nice car! My wife saw a 2010 Camaro at our local GM dealer and we "had" to have it.. The car was listed as a GM exec car with 17000Km on it.. It is Inferno Orange with orange interior.. We picked it up last Friday! Beautifull car! I love it! white stripes, automatic trans.. Car is a strange one Since (I looked up) production started March 16th and Rick Hendrick picked up # 000001 on Mar 23rd My new car, is serial number 000039 built in Dec /08 ?? I found same car on Youtube in Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto, new car shows in 2009... Dealer said I am first owner, and GM had licenced it, on March 30/09... Weird! Should I keep it?

early build

I will post a picture.. The drivers door sticker says build 12/08 I ordered info from GM Historical... It will help out.. I thought it funny, that the FIRST Camaro #1 (Rick Hendrick) was built March 23 (by video from Youtube) and production started March 16th and my car is #39 built in Dec

Definitely interesting!

On a side note...London Ontario is one of my favorite places to visit. Station park Inn is awesome. I stayed there when I was racing at the London dragway a few years back.

Strange things Eh?

Production started March 16th I thought VIN would be in order? Rick Hendrick got #1 (Youtube date is Mar 23rd) How could my car be # 39 and built in Dec 08? Maybe its a test car, and was not supposed to be SOLD? and GM may give me a new Convertivble, to get it back? #39 was the car on Youtube at the Toronto Int Auto Show in 09


ps i have phot of door sticker with build date can't seem to upload it?
