#13 is lucky if you are a Camaro Engineering Pilot

Verne,

There is zero Sarcasm here just supported facts. Fair enough.... You go with your guy who has an opinion and he may be correct for another facility/Plant. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

In this specific discussion I will go with the guys who built XP-836 and the Pilot group coordinator for Norwood.

The coordinator was James Seim who worked out of Norwood starting in 1950's and was reassigned to Flint starting in 1965 specifically to coordinate the XP-836 launch and the spring 1966 build at Norwood.

Make no mistake, these guys used the term Pilot and Prototype interchangeably when speaking about this activity which was all new for Norwood and for GM as the building of &quot;Pilots&quot; and &quot;assembly line prototypes&quot; was sent to the Prime assembly plant in a significant group for the first time.

nice to see the #13 Camaro has survived

Is it shown in any of the vintage GM film such as the 1967 Camaro Jam Handy Films on YouTube?

Joe,

Not GM... but we feel strongly that it made a photo shoot at Milford Proving Ground along with a Blue coupe. After looking at the destinations of the other potentials including usage and ship to locations we then evaluated, 20, 27 or 31 as possibilities.

We settled solidly on #13 for this photo with a simple hubcap/bumperette switch made prior to the photo shoot. #13 was in the right place at the right time the Pilot book destination matches and the option content fits perfectly.
