That Camaro is here in AZ, I think. Every year at BJ time...an ad appears to try and sell it...

Does the ad have Elvis driving the car?? That would clear up a couple of sightings.

Bruce, I know a gentelmen in AZ had what he belived to be a prototype-mule L-S6 70 camaro. I remember my friend talking with him at length about the car and documenting it. I don't belive that he has found any documentation for it yet...I'm just a little pee-on in this hobby and I have heard several refrences to this car all from diffrent sources so...I thought it was discussed on this board 3-4 years ago...I can't for the life of me remember his name...maybe Dave
Rich.

David T. found the Norwood car. Lots of go fast goodies were tested on this car including COPO 9796.

Car's VIN is 123870N500001. Code 17 paint, black interior.

Anybody know what that means??

I spoke to the owner of 500001 a few years ago. He had purchased the car from Smokey Yunick. It had no engine but I think he said it had big block engine stands in it. He was sure the orig engine was in another room that was full of engines but they wouldn't let him look for it. I think the car had a 6 cylinder vin though.

All you guys know WAY more than I do about such things...I was just posting what I saw in the local paper during BJ 2005. BTW, the same ad appeared this year, too!

No Bruce I did not have a bad night, that was a joke and was referring to any sightings of a factory LS6 Camaro as just that, sightings. Sort of like Elvis, UFO's, Sasquatch, etc.. I just don't want anyone believing that other then a posssible prototype and someone elses "pilot" car, there were any factory production LS6 Camaros built.

The ad says Yunick prototype LS6 pilot car not factory built LS6 Camaro. As Charley pointed out it might have been an original 6 cylinder. What does make it unique is that it's the first Norwood Camaro built. I would buy it just for that reason alone.

My 70 Z had 4 wheel disc brakes on it when I bought it does it make it a 1970 Z/28 Pilot car? No, just a car someone modified. The guy might not have had a famous name like Yunick, Yenko or Harrell but modified just the same.

This post has made me think about a possible project. 1970-81 Camaro, BB, 4 speed, 4 wheel disc's. Hmmmm.

Rick, it's all good. I misinterpreted your post then. Like I said, you guys are all WAY more knowledgeable about these things.

Well, there you go, first Norwood Camaro built. Shadow Gray, Black interior, 6 cylinder Camaro that someone used as a test vehicle. Again, make note of the VIN. 6 cylinder!
