Bill Mitchell

[427TJ]

I was going through my old copy of the 1/69 Rodder and Super/Stock and saw this photo. It shows Bill Mitchell, who now owns World Products and who builds very impressive crate engines, taking a newly-converted '68 Camaro SS 427 out for its first test drive. He's pulling out from the Motion shop where he worked for Joel Rosen. Note the SS 427 emblem on the trunk lid (no spoilers!). The car also had 427 numerals in place of the stock 396 emblems on the front fender and later a Stinger hood was added. No mention of who ordered the car or what color it was.
