Rare Camaro History

William,

Do you have a copy of Echoes of Norwood?

Multiple eye witnesses from the Assembly line have gone on the record as stating several examples were built for GM. Cars produced had Z/28 style stripes.

I am not sure if you understand? I asked you If you had a copy?

The L-70 was produced at Norwood according to workers who were eyewitnesses, and this story along with images of the engine are in the book.

Are there images of the engine in the Norwood plant?

Perhaps this was a pilot build prior to cancelation.

Yes this is correct. The L-70 was produced in plant as a prototype job for GM evaluation.

Images of this engine with the air cleaner on and off are in the book that was first published back in 2013.

Nope, do not have a copy.

Not getting your point. Since the manifold has a production part number and the Engine Dress Line components are shown in the AIM, it did come close. I don't doubt L70 Pilots were built. The M08 Sport Shift option is in the '69 AIM with part numbers and that never made production either. It happens.

My position is that the L70 was intended as an option for the SS350. There is no reason to believe there was any intention to use it on the 302. For whatever reason, it never became a production engine.

I understand then that you have an opinion then. That's fine with me.
