Default A Camaro Unicorn?

http://www.superchevy.com/features/1...s-the-unicorn/

I know enough when to ask for help and get information from those smarter than me.

Is this car a victim of adding options back when they were around or is it real?

The pictures can be blown up full screen for better detail.

Are there midyear options that were not tracked in production records?

I've seen it for other brands.....trying to think if I know of a confirmed one for Chevys.

Sorry, I'm not aware of the accuracy of the records, just recalled that discussion as it's a pretty unusual option.

That was an old one.....I still stand by the first car I saw. Wish we had cell phones back then. IIRC, this one was parked next to a Astro Blue 70 396 Velle w/ Vigilite

I've known about that car for 20 years. That's 124678N409488 - it has lots of issues. The laundry list is in that CRG post.
Let's start with repro tag, restamped block, etc. Paint details show that it's not original paint.
2 different GM production total sources concur - zero made.

Yes, that D88 was referenced in GM literature is a given. But proof of any being built.....?
