Bill,

There were some 60,000 V-6 Camaros built in 1967 . . . I guess that most of the Pace Setter cars were V-6's, but then again, I'm sure they were V-8's as well. Must have been a bad brain fart . . .

Maybe a 6 cyl, but not a V-6!

In the sixties I believe the only V-6 engines GM had were a small 231? aluminum buick, and a iron GMC truck engine.

I believe the aluminum engine you are refering to was a V6 213 Buick that came in some Skylarks in the 60's. The Camaros used the L6-230 and L6-250 engines for 6-cyl applications.

AH Yes . . . technicalities . . . either not enough sleep on my part or maybe I just never paid much attention to a V6 or L6, I guess when they are only good for . . ., well not much . . ., and you only have V8 Muscle and 427's on your mind, then anything lesser . . . can slip by . . . un-noticed

------Are you guys contemplating any sort of modified new GTOs? I seem to be in the minority,but it looks like a great platform for one of your build-ups!.......Bill S

Bill,

A GTO would be cool to work on because the powertrain is great. BUT, we work with dealers, so if any of them can come up with 30 or so GTO's then we might be interested, but we don't work on street cars and therefore we might not touch a GTO for a few years, just like the new Vette coming out. Again, it will take dealers a while to get the inventory of those because they are selling as fast as they get them. Both will be on our plate I bet in a few years, unless GM wants us to do something special for a limited run. I will keep my options open. Thanks for asking . . .

Matt. Great time to pose this question..What significance could the dash - have thats on the trim tag at the cowl for a nose stripe thats painted at a different factory all together ( I'm to understand that the nose was painted at GM and the body at Fisher)? My buddy Mike has documented special order paint with dashes just like you..It would seem you are correct but I cannot figure out how..Did the trim tag have info that the GM guys read as well as the Fisher guys??? Charley..Question for you..It has been said that the Festival cars received clear coat over the paint..I'm been unable to find proof of this. Does 92 have clear coat? Can I bring my 400 grit paper to Carlisle and find out for myself? T
