The hammer has fallen on the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/23/chevrolet-auctioning-yet-to-be-revealed-camaro-convertible/) and the Barrett-Jackson (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson) crowd broke out their wallets for it. Final price for the drop-top muscle car? $205,000. Being the first person with a new toy costs money and an affluent fan of the bow-tie will be placing one of the earliest examples of the upcoming Camaro (http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro) convertible in their garage.
General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/) products ending up taking three of the top five sales spots. A 1981 Corvette coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/corvette) sold for $150,000 and a custom 2010 Camaro coupe brought in $350,000. A pair of exotic supercars finished one and two as a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/slr+mclaren) cost someone $412,500 and a 2008 Bugatti Veyron (http://www.autoblog.com/model/veyron) sold for $770,000. More on that one later...
Is it worth that amount of money to have an early example of a new model like the reborn Camaro convertible? Only time will tell - but we could think of many other ways to spend $205,000, especially in Las Vegas. Regardless, congrats to the new owner, whose family will probably be selling the car at Barrett-Jackson Mars 2060.
