> I actually spoke to Jim Mattison regarding "pilot cars," and he relayed that most "pilot cars," were actually built at the Flint Plant irregardless of what the car says.

You're talking apples and oranges here.
Flint did the buck builds and early prototypes.
The *PRODUCTION* pilot builds were only done at the plant. The whole point was to prove out the tooling at the plant.

Look up some of the threads on the real early 67 LA Camaro (7L100016, body # 1) (either on camaros.net or CRG). It has great info, including some posts from John Z who worked at Flint and was responsible for making the tryouts in the plant work.
