Factory 454 1970 Camaro

[JoeC]

There were a lot of 1970 Camaro options that got the axe before going into production.

One was the 1970 Camaro cowl induction hood.
A few prototypes were built.
They were all steel construction built in the Chevy custom fabrication shop. One was saved from the scrap yard by Bill Grumpy Jenkins to use on his 1970 Camaro Pro Stock show car.

I know is a true story because I bought it from Bill with a letter from him on where and how he got it and have pictures of it on his 70 Pro Stock show car.

There are a bunch of stories where Chevy would scrap parts but on the way to the scrap yard the parts would go to people like Bill Thomas, Smokey Yunick, Jenkins, Yenko, and others who did work or raced for Chevy.
