Reggie Jackson's LSX 1969 Camaro

[1970Bluel78]

Can someone please explain why GM would make a " Reggie " anything. OK a rich former Baseball player that collects rare iron deserves a car?? I'd rather it be a " Warren Johnson ". He's built plenty of engines and cars over the years, not to mention his GM racing effort. The Eminent Domain issue only makes him look worse in my eyes.

Thats what i was wondering, what did he do for GM that was special enough for them to build him a car. I can think of a long list of more deserving individuals.

I'm guessing because Reggie has a long history of collecting rare Chevrolets and he owned a Chevy dealer in the Bay Area a while back.

Or it could just be a case of the rich getting richer...

GM needs to find a new interior guy. Check out the quality dash pad alignment job on the Reggie LSX. Maybe GM can make the dash pad manufacturers come up with a descent pad one of these days.
