If these are the same pictures you have,of the 1970 Z/28,I believe they were taken at Riverside,Calif. in early January 1970.There is also a red/Black striped car tested later on.The plates show 12M500 1969 Michigan,but this was the track they tested it at due to the Midwest winter at that time.

NOS 1970 Pre-Announcement Window trim.
There was actually MANY pieces to this kit.
It consisted of 4-Sept 18th posters.

All these were rolled up in the original shipping carton to the waiting Dealership here in Illinois.

Wow, what a day in Chevy history that was! .
Love the ZL-1 identification on the Camaro also see how the text notes Duntov was busy w/ 2 alloy powered 'Vettes and refers to them as ZR-1's. .
And is that a production Copo Nova....maybe a third car that didn't go to Yenko? .
Great stuff! .

Rick,

Yes, the test at Riverside is the one that I am refering to.

You are also correct that the reason that it was held at Riverside was that it was "winter" back east... Although I don't know what the actual date was.

What makes you believe that this was held in January rather than, say, November or December?

I appreciate the follow up... Thanks for your interest.

Regards,

Stan
