Default Re: Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: iluv69s</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Well said Warren. But if I recall, there was definitely doubt, atleast in the beginning, about the car being the actual first car..don't know if that is negativity??? This is a very skeptical crowd..myself included..for good reason at this point.

But at least in my mind, this is THE first camaro and a neat peice of history..and I am grateful it and it's history have been saved and displayed for the world to appreciate !! </div></div>

Thanks! Yeah, I remember people were wondering if it was the first built when it popped up on ebay and was subsequently bought to be restored. It is/was definitely a legit question. It's the FIRST Camaro by vin so naturally there are going be lots of questions (and a skeptical crowd). But that's what this hobby is all about. You ask the questions, they get researched and the results/answers get shared with the hobby so everyone learns something new. That's why I started a fullsize Chevy website. I love answering research questions about the fullsize cars. There is no stupid question in my book. And actually, I do get questions in a skeptical sense from people wondering if certain claims someone is making (about a fullsize car) are indeed true. I don't always have the answers but try my best to research the question for an answer. There is still a lot to be learned about these cars and I'm all for people learning something new. I'm looking forward to what will be discovered in the coming years.

And I agree, it's a 67 Camaro with vin #1! I'm very happy it was restored. I love the low vin, early production cars. I have the paperwork to a 67 Caprice from Southgate, 7C100001. Vin #1! The owner of the dealership that got it, knew it was a special car. (I have the notes to him from the zone office) I wish I could find that car and own it!

Warren
