Yunick had more than one 2nd Gen Camaro. In his book he mentions building a '72 Camaro for AJ Foyt. He sold it a few years later. The '70 was not mentioned at all.

Exactly. That's the car that sold at the Yunick Auction and was later restored with the equipment listing as specified in the mecum auction.

From when I was into the Monte Carlos heavy and the FGMC site, there were two urban legends that could never be proven, one was a LS6 Monte, and the other was a 4 speed Monte LS5. All known Monte LS5 (SS) were autos. There were approx. 600 non SS 402 (396) 4 speeds made. From what I remember anyway.

Kind of like the 70 SS396 L78 auto that no ones ever proven.... (beats dead horse)

There is a photo of the body shell as purchased from Smokey Yunick in the March/April 1995 Camaro Enthusiast.

No roll cage, unmodified wheel wells. Front sheet metal is intact and appears untouched. Looks like he did nothing more than dismantle it.

LS6 Monte Carlo

Dick's wife's car - ordered as an LS5 and then an LS6 crate engine was swapped in after delivery. There are no 'COPO' Montes with LS6s from the factory, that's BS.

From the Yunick Auction.

BTW... The car I posted the image of on page one of this thread was Smokey and his Black and Gold 1970 Race car- that he had in his stable in addition to 1970 VIN 500001,- so nobody jumps to conclusions as to roll cages and modified quarter panels.

Smokey Actually had 2 1970 cars prior to the 1972.

My point all along.
