When I started with GM engineering at the Chevy PowerGlide factory in Toledo, Ohio in August 1966, I stumbled across one of these gold color 1967 pre-release Camaros on the factory floor one day... didn't realize it was there... prolly wasn't this one... it had 2 bbl. 210 HP 327" V8 3 on the floor... back then, it was like no car I had ever seen before...
My pappy one aunt and uncles all retired from the Norwood Ohio planet. Their employment perdated the Camro and some stayed till the bitter end of the closing of the plant. All that's left of the plant is the elavated parking garage. I'm nearly 60yrs old myself but I still remember going to the plant for open house summer tours hosted by the UAW. 😎😎
The only thing that keeps the guy who turned this car into a race car from being a total moron is the fact he saved the parts.
I'll pay full original asking price of 2,500 bucks , just to keep the tradition going.
camaro,nova,chevelle all perfect body styles back then.
What a fascinating story. Thanks for posting.
Very cool history, I'm glad someone found and restored it properly...
Great story love it I was one year old then I have a 67 RS convert bone stock 67k original miles one paint job car
Not having watched this video yet...the first TWO body Camero/ Firebirds with matching and consecutive build numbers ending in 1 & 2 were discovered, bought, restored to factory spec., judged & certified on the Gas Monkey Garage program (being found as barn finds). The first build is (was) the firebird.. These same two cars were donated to a museum as such to this date.
The finest restoration of an original american sports car that chinese restoration sheet metal can offer.
If had known how this car would become such a legend in automotive history in 78 i would have never sold mine and id have a gold mine setting in storage! Because i had 69 z28 that had a color combo ive never another like it!!! Just like you never see the white with black rally stripes as there was only 2 made like that!!!!
In 1966 that was 45 years ago that was a year I was born back then that's what you called real American muscle Chevrolet Camaros were built tough I love them cars I have a 1983 Camaro z28
I'm surprised chevy GM actually sold this pilot car...Most manufacturers crush up cool stuff...
I have a 1969 rs z/28 camaro that was number 29 off the line late Dec of 1968 in norwood their is no coding on the cowl tag under the hood because that early of a 1969 camaro was not coded at norwood the only way you could tell if rs or z/28 or ss was by options put on chrome rear end engine inteary and so on. I found this out when I called gm to find out way their was no code on the tag I am putting the car back the way it was when new I got the car back in feb of 1983 from the late Virgil Cates of mansfield ohio cates speed shop type in on enternet Virgil Cates 33 willys and that is who had the car. The car is almost done it is ready for paint she will look great when done a long time dream come true thanks for reading little camaro note Bob.
Those were great engines. They would last forever and silky smooth. Glad the car has been saved. I remember this era of cars when I was ten years of age as the pinnacle of the American car as an artistic expression.
The Camaro was one of the thier best concepts ever. The first model had the best looking lines of any Camaro since. They could have continued to seel that model year after year for decades had they not kept changing it. A nwer modle does not neccesarily have ot have a new look. It just needs newr technology in it. Better brakes More fule efficient engine. Maybe change th einterior a little add or remove some guages. There's plenty of wys to change a car without mutilating it's beiutiful lines. That's like having your girlfriend get a new body after a few years. Usually it's not as good as the body she had when you met her.
Very cool, I have an August 66 built 67 that I recently picked up thats only 35xx units into the 67 production.
No historic value here. But I own a 1988 iroc z28 5.7 liter. 16 inch gold rims. Second owner car had 5,000 org miles when I got it back in 2006. The owner built a garage for the car before he bought it. He passed in 2005 and son wanted to sell the car to pay for his new truck. Car came with a lot of options. It now has 7,330 miles. Has been setting since 2010. I had back surgery that year and again in 2013. Car has not been started since 2010. Owners son said the car had never been out in the snow or rain. Maybe one day it might be worth something lol.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that race car driver didn't knew what this car was and and chopped it up anyway. mind-boggling right
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this race car driver that chopped his car up knowing well that it was the first one built. unbelievable what people will do
