When and where did this article appear?

Wasn't that Camaro built for Bill Mitchell? I would guess the car is still in GM's garage.

Dual Hood mounted gauges?
Besides a tach,I wonder what the other one is?

Yeah, I think that's the Bill Mitchell car.

Jeff,

Actually that ZL-1 was built in 70 and was originally a Rally Sport. It was black with ZL-1 badging and special trim. Car was restyled later to predict the look of the 78 Camaro.

If you look close it is wearing 1976 Michigan plates for those pictures so that dates the photo you have there.

How in the world are you reading the 76 Michigan plates? You must have the article in front of you. I saved the pic and zoomed in, but couldn't read a thing (yeah, even with my glasses).

I don't doubt you, just want to know how.

Lynn,

The plates for 76 were special and had the cast streamer marks at the bottom. You can see the lines clearly in those photos.

I'd like to meet the "committee" that signed off on the styling of the Aztec...I hope for GM's sake that those individuals are currently seeking other employment...
