The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

Today, no one knows what happened to the Bison concept truck. It was never developed beyond the initial concept stage. However, the Bison truck will always be a part of General Motors and Bill Mitchell’s design history.

This is the 2nd prototype for the 69 Trans Am. Notice all the emblems that didn't make it into production: RAM AIR on the hood, FIREBIRD on the front fenders and 400 on the trunk, along with TRANS AM in red on the spoiler.

The Day a Pontiac Tempest Bested a 427 Corvette … 1963!

Quote:

We’ve all heard the story of the little engine that could. Well, the little engine in our story isn’t so little and packs a great deal of muscle for something from the mid-’60s. How about a 421 SD Pontiac packing 500-plus hp and capable of motorvating a ’63 Tempest LeMans around Daytona quicker than the competition.

I see a lot of similarities to the Corvette 2 rotor.

More like the 1976 Aerovette - which came a year after the Opel so it was probably the basis for this Corvette concept.

Considering it had a Chevy engine by 1965 (although the Studebaker hardliners insist it was not a Chevy, it was McKinnon engine!) it was pretty easy to use the existing K66 parts developed for the Corvette the year before.

Don't get me wrong; Studebaker had some great low cost innovations over the years; like a lock up torque converter in my 53. GM didn't use a lock up TQ until the 80s. But by 1965 the grave was already being dug for the Studebaker autos.

I love this photo.
I’m not sure if it’s factory Original, but it is a very nice combination.

C-C = Cameo Ivory with Red pinstripe.
216 = Red interior that would have a Parchment headliner.

Standard inside rear view mirror.
No outside mirror as this was an option in 1965.
