I rethought my list, as I missed the point of performance

1. 69 ZL1. I think the blue RS is the best choice
2. 69 Stock iron block copo 427 (survivor would be cool). Non Yenko
3 A 68 copo (i.e. a 68 yenko camaro)
4. 69 L89 pace car convert. I pick the pace car convert as you get the ZL2 hood, most L89 coupes I have seen dont have that performance hood.
5. 68 L89 coupe or convert
6. 67 L78 (the batcar should cover this nicely)
7. 67 Z28
8. 69 z28 with JL8
9. A Thomas-Nickey. Must be a Bill Thomas version, where it all started.
10 A Motion
11 A Dana (the orange one we all love should work)
12 67 Yenko
13 69 Yenko

Forget the special drag cars, or the concept show cars, or the road race cars. Its a muscle car show/venue.

"The red/red 67 SS/350 serial # 0000001 that was in Hot Rod Magazine"...I assume then that there are two #1 camaros? One norwood and one LA ? Im guessing there would be two #1 firebirds as well, one V8 and one 6 cylinder since built in separate plants ? If so, whos to say which is the actual #1 if there are two,cant really go by build date,since the first #1 is equivalent to the second #1 regardless of date IMO

Right? Kevin Suydam's white 68 Yenko with the &quot;Special Drag Car&quot; tag and the Royal 69 Firebird drag car would definitely be on my list...

There are two cut away 69 camaros out there. I believe Mark From NJ owns one and Rick George's australian car. Don't know if they are done restored yet....

If you want to narrow down the field and keep the idea of representing 67-69, eliminate the restored cars from the display and include only survivors. That would truly be a sight to behold. Otherwise there would be too many candidate cars to choose from

I would like to see the only known survivor 67 pace car L78


Survivor or not, I would like to see Craig Jacksons's silver 69 RS ZLl Camaro.
