That may explain the difference. Thanks Chuck.

George, I'd really prefer a stock car that is under 10K. You wanna swap a stock motor into yours :-)

No, nothing on my car Mike. I don't think I'll ever see it again (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

According to my records, 129 Camaro 1LE's were built in 1998. The number 99 was floating around the net for a long time, but I believe that number was made up. The 129 number is from GM.

Only 74 were built in '99, more of which were SS and hugger orange cars destined to be garage queens.


The number 99 came from GM in 1999 for 98 1LEs. Actually for a couple of years after that GM was than reporting that 0 1LEs were made in 98. Since I have one I know that was wrong. So the short answer is that GM doesn't have a clue.

I know of one Hugger Orange 1LE that's not an SS, not a garage queen, not stock and not for sale. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Perry, I cannot say that one of us or the other is right, but would like to share the source for the 129 number. A guy named Ryan started the 1LEOA in the late '90's, and his website is the only source for the 99 number I have found. I took over the 1LEOA site later, and owned a '98 1LE. When camaroz28.com posted the '98 production numbers 2001, I noticed the 0 for 1LE cars. I contacted one of the admins at cz28.com (Chris Frez IIRC), and they put me in touch with the GM person that provided the numbers. I explained that I owned a '98 1LE, and had photos of SPI lables for 10 or more '98 1LE's.

He agreed it was a mistake and looked into it. A while later I received an email with counts that I will post later from my home PC. The counts added up to 129 cars, including four 1LE SS. Since I had VIN photos from all four 1LE SS, that number was more credible than the 99, which included three 1LE SS.

I still own 1le.net, but lost interest since I sold my 1LE. If one of you would like to have the 1LEOA website and maintain it, it can be brought back up at www.1le.net. I plan to keep the domain name for a long time.
