The Most Significant First Gen Firebirds & Camaros

[Jonesy]

The 67 Indy Pace Car that paced the race that I think Charlie owns or owned.

Just my 2 cents, limit the amount of '68 and '69 cars that get featured in 2017 since the 50th anniversary of those cars follows right behind and they will get their day in the sun. Why shortchange the '67s?

How about Grumpy's '67 L78?

Did Kevin Suydam ever restore this car and/or did an NCRS report say if it was a Dana? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...2&page=all

I went with a friend to Europe last February and we brought back the original Penske/Donohue '67 Trans-Am Camaro that went to Europe in '68. That hopefully will be restored in time for the MCACN show.

I would like to have all of the surviving first 25 '67 Z-28s built at the show, which would be 8 cars and 2 engines.

It would be great to have the Jack Douglass (Hinsdale, IL) sponsored '67 Trans-Am Camaro there as well as an original Brigance '67 Z that my friend owns since they are originally local to the area. An original Nickey '67 Z would be included as one of the first 25 cars.

I really don't care for the car itself, but the gold '67 "First Camaro" probably deserves an invite. The actual '67 Indy 500 Pace Car for sure, the first Z/28 is a no-brainer, Estes' Z convert., and I think I agree with the thought of predominantly '67 model years. Were the "Fitchbirds" '67 or '68s? Smokey's stuff is cool and under-appreciated in my opinion, so any verified ties to him would be a welcomed guest I think. This will require some more thinking!

Great to hear the responses and even better to know that many of your suggestions are already either confirmed or pending confirmation.

Keep in mind we will have TWO displays featuring first Gen Camaro's' for 2017; one that is specifically 1967 Z/28's and one that highlights 12-13 (only) of the<span style="font-style: italic"> most significant</span> High Performance First Gen Camaro's.

And let's not forget the Pontiac &quot;brother&quot; too!

Amen to that!

I agree with others with trying to focus more on 67's as 68's and 69's will have their day in the next few years.

In the absence of any 67 Cutaways being available , how about the 67 350 display engine that was recently sold? (think it was also coupled to a powerglide maybe and was in a large Perspex box.

Would be super cool to also see some of the original advertising of the 67 Camaros too. I passed on a very large poster / billboard (because it was too large for me to transport all the way home)advertising the &quot;new&quot; 67 Camaro - pretty sure it was blue and white from memory... advertising under $3000.

Pace car , L78 , Z28 , 396 - 325 and 375HP. Any experimental engines?
