Was the car found with this special 110v wiring still intact on the car after all these years?
If not,was it put back on during resto?...and can you show it to us today & how it was intended to work?
Besides no wording on the front fenders,were there any other characteristics that set it apart from other mass produced '67 camaros? </div></div>
Rick,
Wiring was not found in the car. The 110V wiring was installed so the car interior areas trunk and under hood could be illuminated with display lights without draining the battery. This was described as "drive the car up to the display spot and plug it in".
The pilots were distinguished by strange build configurations, 283 engines, exterior paint delete (build in prime) heavy option content, missing option content too- as the early AIM was used and as the pilots were built the revisions to the AIM began.
For example if a part did not fit the part could be modified to fit and an engineering change submitted to revise the part specification. If you look at the 1967 AIM the initial release was on March 1, 1966. If you look further at the revision record there are quite a few UPC's that were revised in May, June, and July, when the pilots were being built and the production specifications were finalized.
