A message from John Fitzpatrick, Camaro Marketing Manager:

The Camaro Marketing Team would like to bring to your attention a unique opportunity to obtain the third Camaro to be produced when regular production starts in February 2009, and help a great college in the Detroit area.

Since that memorable day in January 2006, when the Camaro concept was revealed, one of the most discussed, striking feature of the car has been its looks. A lot of effort was put into the design of this great car. Chevrolet wanted to honor that effort by providing an opportunity to a local Detroit institution - the College for Creative Studies - responsible for the higher education of a number of great GM Designers.

Chevrolet has arranged for the College for Creative Studies (CCS) to purchase the third 2010 Camaro model produced when regular production starts in early 2009 (currently scheduled for February 16, 2009). In turn, CCS will auction this very special model as part of its annual fundraising event.

Starting this evening (Wednesday, October 15, 2008) at 9 p.m. (EDT), CCS will list their Camaro on Ebay Motors. The auction will run until Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 9 p.m. The model is a 2010 Camaro SS featuring 6.2L V8 engine with over 400 horsepower and a GM estimated 23 MPG highway (official EPA ratings will be released closer to the start of production in early 2009).

A private, fully accredited college, CCS enrolls more than 1,300 students pursuing various Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees including Product Design and Transportation Design.Last year, CCS raised $1.4 million with the proceeds for this event underwriting undergraduate scholarships and high-quality art and design education programs to high-risk Detroit Youth.

98 percent of CCS students received some form of financial assistance and over 3,000 Detroit youth participated in CCS's community outreach programs.
