Re: 70 Camaro 500001
I'll kick in the first five bucks towards Jim Mattison's SYC membership. It just makes me cringe to see "Newbie" by his name. (Jim, please don't take this the wrong way, I just feel anyone making the kind of effort you are in the hobby deserves a little respect, even if I have to pay).
Anyone join me? JB

Re: 70 Camaro 500001
Seeing as there were two plants,Norwood & Van Nuys building the Late & Newly designed 1970 Camaro,both starting with VIN#500001,wouldn't there really be Two #500001 Camaros built?
Meaning One from each plant. If so,which One did Smokey get?

Re: 70 Camaro 500001
You would think this guy would post a picture of the VIN on that LA car The door panels I believe
are off of a 73, I’m not sure what the rest of the interior is from, One thing for sure, it is not from a 1970. The Yunick car had a lot of first off parts that GM used this car to test fit; The car was not to be sold to the general public so needless to say the quality and the fit and parts were not so good. I have some pictures of the car and some of the first off parts somewhere. I will see if I can dig them up. I hope the original parts are still with the car as they are irreplaceable. One thing for sure; The 01 Yunick car is a very special piece of GM history.

Re: 70 Camaro 500001
Late to this post, I met Dave Tom at Fords at Carlisle, super nice gentleman. He let my daughter sit in his authentic Cougar Trans Am Race car to get a few pictures in it. She loved it and still talks about it.
