'70 Camaro #s SS396/350hp/4-sp
Looks mostly there - cool find in an interesting color combo. No docs but the original block is supposed to be intact with the VIN stamped adjacent to the oil filter....

Was in OH earlier this year.

Very early, possibly the first, BB second gen built. Probable first day build. #590.

It always surprised me that GM used those dinky little 4-blade fixed fans on their big block cars. Mine was overheating at idle, and I swapped a 7-blade clutch fan. Problem solved.

It was not the first BB, nor was that the first day of production.
First one would have been in the pilot builds. Production was a ramp up. During the first two weeks of September 67, NOR build about 3000 cars. That's about 300 cars/day, not the 900 they got to soonafter. |
Thought it would be 300 per shift and they started with at least two shifts, so 6 to 900 per work day.
|
We know it was 912/day in regular production. http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml
But launch isn't regular production, especially with a new platform. The numbers don't lie - 300/day in the beginning of 67. |
