Default Re: 1967 Cheetah Camaro

As shown in the above excerpt from Michael Lamm's book, the Cheetah name was talked about as a possibility for the model they were putting together to qualify the Camaro for the Trans-Am series. This model was eventually called the Z-28 after Cheetah and a few others were crossed off the list. The only car I am aware of that could have gotten a Cheetah decal on it was the Press Preview car shown at the ARRC event at Riverside in November '66. I have the first '67 Z-28 off the production line and my car never had a Cheetah decal or emblem on it, nor a 3x2 manifold.
