Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
Arguably one of the most important pieces of Camaro production history (perhaps the most exclusive) will be on display early tomorrow evening in south central Ohio.
If you are near by send me a PM and you can join us for the get together. Pizza is on me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] For those who can't make it...I will get the pictures up for you guys.

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
While I await the arrival of the car... here is the 1967 Camaro Pilot Booklet cover page and the build information for VIN #0001 Fisher Body Plate unit 860 computer designated for IBM 360 data testing as "DD01D".
This is the real deal. #1 build in the Pilot book delivered from Norwood Fisher body to Chevrolet Norwood on 5-21-66. The IBM card was already key punched for September Production on this particular unit. The coach for the car was built out as unit 860 (which obviously it was not) as a test for the Fisher Body automated systems. (IBM 360 computer) Photos of the car to follow shortly.

What was the "110 Volt Wiring" option? Something to do with lighting for an unveiling?

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
So it could be plugged into 110 at car shows instead of running on the battery.

Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening
More...Since the car was a tubbed race car before restoration he took extra pains to acknowledge the car's race history leaving the weld seams on display on the trunk floor.
The guy who had built the car into a racer had the original front sheet metal and the engine. The guy who restored it tracked him down and got the front end back. The cost of the restoration is estimated at $250K [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] Many-many NOS parts used on this car.
