Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening

[70 copo]

Those of you attending MCACN this year will have an enormous number of really great cars to look over and your time will be at a premium...so many really great cars and so little time! The owner of N100001 wanted to be as transparent as possible about the great story of this car and has created a website to tell the basic story of the first Camaro built and has authorized the site roll out right here on Yenko.net

The film documentary is almost ready also-so when you stop by to see the car be sure to check it out too on the TV located by the display.

It just occurred to me that some of you reading about N100001 may think it strange that the Retirees of UAW 674 use the union hall of Local 647 for the summer picnic...due to the number of retirees from Norwood that are still active the 674 hall on Symmes Rd in Fairfield just is not big enough so 647's hall is rented and that is where the Gold gem was displayed. These guys built our Impalas, Camaros and Firebirds. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

<span style="font-weight: bold">This is going to be an awesome display, with some incredibly significant display properties along with N100001 and some of the folks that were there when it actually rolled off the line. This is an excellent opportunity to see how it really was &quot;back in the day&quot; and hear from those who were there making history.

Thanks go out to COPO70 and all of the <span style="font-style: italic">Norwood Ambassadors </span>that will be joining us at MCACN, November 22-23.

A complete restoration ahead for this pilot car is an Understatement.
I saw this 67 on the trailer at our
Norwin Cruise a year and 1/2 ago,,
it was a sight for curious eyes and inquiring minds.
Low Vin, Low Body #'s and needing one of everything, Two of most and three of any thing else. Solid Shell, partial interior with power windows.
I didn't see an engine or trans in it or a front clip.....327/210 power glide I think. Good Luck to the new owner/resto shop and congrats to the longtime owner in placing it with the right people......It's a really cool piece of history [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

As a native of Cincinnati and touring the Norwood Assembly plant in May 1966, I was very excited to become a part of this history of uncovering this #10 pilot car and documenting the car to help bring the car and its many parts into the &quot;light&quot;. By a remote chance from a &quot;69 Camaro Z28 owner at a car show who referred me to the owner, the timing was just perfect in finding this car which had been sitting on jack stands for 32 years. Along with the Norwood Plant History from Phil Borris efforts to write and publish his fantastic book &quot;Echoes of Norwood&quot; covering the pilot car history brought a greater dimension to what I had found. My goal was to have this car saved and I believe Corey and his son will be up to making this a fine restoration to preserve a valuable part of our automotive history for future generations to enjoy. I look forward to helping them do further parts research and to help them complete the restoration.

Early regular production... looks like it was parked sometime during the pro street craze.
