This Bolero Red 67 Z/28 RS is 1 of 602 Z's built in '67. It is done up in Day 2 trim with headers, gauges, tow tabs, traction bars and Spider Motor wheels. W. Browning had this car at the show.

This 67 Camaro RS/SS convertible Indy Pace Car Replica is one of a handful built with the L78. It was built at the Van Nuys plant and sold new in WA. It was a drag car for many years. This was a Premier Unveiling car that was restored by Apex. P. Mitchell had it at the show. I believe he had four cars at the show and three of them were Premier Unveilings.

This Rallye Green 68 Camaro RS/SS is a L34 car with A/C and a TH400. There were only 2,579 Camaros built with the L34 in '68. This is an original drivetrain car that was restored by Customs by Kilkeary. T. Kilkeary had this car at the show.

Here's a picture of Doug Perry's Tuxedo Black 69 Camaro SS with a L78, M22 and 4.10 gears. It was sold new at Craig Ayers Chevrolet in Edmond OK. This car has 9.5K miles and is unrestored. It is documented with the original window sticker, POP and build sheet. He just recently purchased it from the original owner. It was in the Vintage Certification display and was up on a lift for most of the weekend. Luckily they took it off the lift late Sunday and I was able to take a photograph of it.

This Glacier Blue COPO Camaro is N663718 and was shipped to Bill Allen Chevrolet in Kansas City KS. It was then modified by Dick Harrell. This car has a column shifted TH400. It was at Mecum Indy in '21 but didn't sell. At that time it had a fresh paint job, but the rest of the car was kind of tired. It also had a totally incorrect drivetrain. Since then the rest of the car has been restored and I heard it now has a correct drivetrain. D. Albaugh had this car at the show.

Here's a better photograph of the 72 Motion Phase III Camaro that was at the show last year in the Day II display. It was originally a Z/28 that was upgraded with an aluminum head 454 and 4.10 gears by Motion.

I have pictures of a 69 COPO Camaro and four 69 Yenko Camaros that I had never seen in person before that I will post in the Supercar Photographs thread later. I'll post pictures of the Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs next.

I grew up 3 miles from Merollis Chevrolet. As a kid, I would hang out at a park where all the older guys would park their cars, drink beer and smoke.
There were always 2 black with white striped chevelles, all souped up with Cragers and big back tires. They were my favorite amongst the variety of muscle cars, although I did like a few of the mopars, most notably a 440 wedge Fury.
Anyway, I told myself one day I’ll have a black with white striped Chevelle. Came close a few times but it remains on the bucket list as an unchecked item.
Forgive the thread hijack but that picture took me back in time!! Love that car!

This Yorktown Blue 64 GTO sports coupe is a tri-power car with a 4 speed. It was built at the Fremont CA plant and spent most of its life in CA. It was restored by Magnum Auto Restoration. Bruce Low had it at the show.
