+FIRST CAR DEALER-To Build & Sale -*427* Camaro,s

[1967Z28]

To me there's no controversy, it's flat out not the real car. Wasn't delivered to Dana or even California and was originally Sierra Fawn with gold standard interior instead of Tuxedo Black with black standard. Also an automatic 327 instead of the real DC-1 being a 4-speed SS.

I've heard Bill Thomas was the first person to do development of a big block in a Camaro as early as August '66 but whether that was contract work for Chevrolet or for the Nickey/Thomas partnership is unknown.
