There was just a discussion about the one at the top of the page.

Is that hillborn injection?

Looks more like Webbers.....

Some guys were dicussing the truck on another site. I assume if the Camaros are still around, the truck might be as well.

Most likely Weber 40-DCNF's or 48-IDA's :cool:

That Yellow car looks sweet in its old school form with the old americans on it! Very Nice!

What is interesting to me is how the red camaro has a swoopy style rear bodywork like the (then) soon to be released Mako Shark C-3 corvette in '68.......

Neat cars, I have some info on these somewhere and I'll share it with everyone when I dig it out.

Since Henry did them both it shouldn't really be that much of a surprize :D

Notice how nobody here cared to talk about the Panther? That says a lot.
And speaking of first gens behind a tow vehicle, I've got this one beat. Picture this; It's 1969. I'm in the pits at Bremerton Raceways running my new Camaro. Same place that I ran an 11:90 this fall with my same Camaro. Anyway, here comes a surfer dude towing his brand new hugger orange Z28 on a trailer with his brand new IDENTICAL Z28. He off-loaded, made a few good runs and left. Never saw him again. And he was all alone. Unforgettable!

I thought the Mako deal was Bill Mitchell's baby?

none the less, it might burn up a few vette guys that a 67 camaro was the first to display the swoopy rear body,lol.

No offense to any Vette guys-I think they are cool cars too.

i think the guy driving that yellow "SS" pickup needs to learn how to back up a trailer.
and maybe GM should have put some heftier springs in the back of that thing.

William Mitchell was the V.P. of design. He had overseen Larry Shinoda's design of the Mako/MakoII concept cars.
Henry Haga was the designer primarily responsible for production design both the new Camaro project as well as the primary design work on the 1968 Corvette (I forget who was heading the 68 'vette - think it was Holls ??? ) then underway in the same studio (studio #2).
Almost all the drawingboard and final clay modeling of these two vehicles were done by Henry, and he is credited with their designs by both of the design heads - Jordan and Rybicki.
He also did some of the design work on the Super-Nova and designed the second generation Corvair's new body for 1965.
He was the designer responsible for designing shapes and panels that could be transfered to production by Fisher as well as fleshing-out drawingboard ideas and concepts into workable models.
Henry had many drawings of Panther/Camaro's with the intrical rear spoiler, even a fast-back styling that is shown in one of the Camaro history books.
He was involved in the design of many of the 'show/concept' cars used in the autoshow circuits.

The red Camaro at the top of the page does not appear to be the same car as the Camaro in Wisconsin. I talked to the owner by phone and he believes there may have been two "Cherokee" Camaros.

Note the car in the first photo does not appear to have a hood tach, but has square exhaust tips sunk into the tail pan. The Wisconsin car has the hood tach but normal exhaust.

Looks like a hard boot cover(?)

It shouldn't surprise anyone if there were two Cherokee type cars knowing Chevrolet as we do now... They rarely made just one. Think of the Cut Away cars.. We know there were two 69s, it's been reported that there were also at least two 67's.
The fact that the Cherokee (the one that is still around) came out of THE SHOW AND DISPLAY program should remind us that this Show Program that Chevy had back in the day would repaint and make mods to any of the cars that were being shown through out the year.

So! Is there really two?

I have had a request for this Cherokee's data plate in for 4 months or so and still nothing.....
If anyone can share this car's info, either through a public post or a PM, it would be appreciated!

Some of the cars would get updated and reused for the next model year show car.
There was a 1970 ZL1 Camaro Bill M car that he used to test styling ideas for the newer Camaros. There were pictures of it in some of the magazines.

Also interesting were some of the press preview days where Chevy would show off the new cars and have a engineering test car for the press to play with. The weird thing is that it is hard to find info and pictures on these cars, even though the the press was there with cameras.
