This is the car that was tested by Smokey Yunick. Did this car ever surface?

I believe that is the car that David Toms owns. He deals in vintage Trans Am cars. I know he bought it from Smokeys shop and it appeared to have been equiped with a big block at one time.

Yes Dave has the car; I have not heard anything about the progress on it.
It is supposed to be the Mystery LS6 car….

I was looking through the Arizona Republic (Phoenix newspaper)car want ads today (prior to Barrett Jackson the section triples in size)...and the ad I have saved as an attachment caught my eye.

I was going to post a question on here about it, but it's already been done.

If this is "Dave's" car...then Dave is selling it!

I remember talking to Dave Tom about this car, several years ago. Yes, it was given to Smokey Yunick as a donor to make into a race car. However, my recollection of it is that based on the complete vin number, it started life as a six-cylinder Camaro.

The reason I asked this question is because I found the car for sale in an old magazine I was looking thru. Just wondered what became of it. Thanks for the info.

plenty of other muscle in that ad as well

Got that right.

Yep...there's 18 columns with around 50 ads per column...which makes for around 900 ads just like the one I posted. All thanks to Barrett jackson coming up.

In fact click HERE and choose "search all automotive ads" then choose 1410-Classic Cars to see them all!

Anybody looking for something other than the 70 Camaro 500001?

I got that covered already!

I thought I had heard that car had 4 wheel discs installed.
