None of the first 1967 Camaro 427 conversion cars have been found.

Yenko Motion Nickey Dana Bill Thomas Dick Harrell or other Chevy dealers

Some of the first 1967 Camaro 427 conversions were race cars and some were used as demonstrators

With not identifying features and no VINs known, they would just look like any other backyard 427 conversion. Especially after a year or two.....

I've spoken with the owner of this car. He has personal photos as well of this shoot, with Dick standing next to his car. The owner also has multiple communications on Nickey Chevrolet letterhead with Dick, and Dick's signature on every piece of paper as they negotiated the build of his car. Some of this goes back into October 1966.

I would be this car would be in the conversation for one of the earliest conversion cars.
