Some rare Camaros

[JoeC]

When Chevy "scrapped" cars and parts, they didn't always send them to be crushed in a scrap yard. They would send them to what I would call CURO. The Chevy underground racing operation.
Smokey recieved a bunch of "scrapped" cars and parts. There was a web site where a guy said he bought a parts car from Smokey which he said was 0001 serial number 1970 Camaro. I think he said Smokey had used it as a test car for spoilers or something that Chevy paid Smokey to work on.
There was a Bill M. 1970 ZL1 Camaro prototype/show car. Bill M. bought it from Chevy and drove it then later re built it into a car that looked like a prototype 1977 Camaro. There were some magazines artiles on this car.
The hood you mention is a hood I bought from Bill Jenkins. It is a 1970 prototype cowl induction all steel hood built by Chevy engineering in 1969. Chevy was going to scrap it but instead gave it to Grumpy for a 1970 show car that Grumpy used as a promotional tool for his 1970 Pro Stock program.

I got a picture of a 70 zl1 black w/ tach on hood and T tops, written up as prototype owned by some vice president of chevy and shows him leaning on car for photo shoot looks to be taken in 70/71, its in my uncle's hardcover book on history of f bodys, I've never been able to find another copy of his book, its got all kinds of photos of other camaro protypes including el camino type versions, 4 drs, woody sides w/ surf board holders on roof, all kinds of weird stuff...
