I saw the car at one of the historic races that Vic Edelbrock was attending. I believe it was the Monterey Historics a few years ago. It was parked next to his other cars and right by the Edelbrock trailer. It had Hot Rod Test Car painted on the door. Sound like the same car? I doubt anybody from Hot Rod ever looked at the VIN on the car. Some guy from GM may have exaggerated and told Jim MacFarland that he had the first SS350 Camaro in Southern California because that sounds good in print for promotional purposes. I can only speculate how something like that got started. That's why I found the VIN and cowl tag data interesting. It is a very early car, no doubt about it. The first one? Pretty doubtful.
