... The vin# of my car is

124377N198768

After being informed that it was built just 2 days after Grumpy Jenkins 1967 396/375 Camaro,
... I was wondering where on the production line my car was
... compared to the first 1967 Yenko Camaros and looked on the Supercar Registry list ...
... It was very early compared to the vins of those 1967 Camaros that were converted to Yenko Camaros.

... interesting

... So is this correct ?

The FIRST 1967 Camaro built with the 396/375 motor was The Actual Pace Car.

The SECOND was THE BACK UP Pace Car.

The THIRD was GRUMPY JENKINS CAR.
... and his was also the first car with the 396/375 motor OFFERED To the General Public and PICKED UP at the Tech Center and not at a Dealership.

The FOURTH was MY CAR that was ORDERED and DELIVERED to Hechler Chevrolet.
... and it is UNKNOWN if GRUMPY JENKINS CAR was ORDERED thru a Dealership or not.

... Is this correct ?

Just trying to understand the sequence correctly.

Thanks for your input.

There were three 396/375 pace cars built before Grumpy Jenkins' car and "The Actual Pace Car" was the third of those three. There may have been one or more 396/375 Camaros built between your car and Grumpy's but, so far, I'm not aware of one that has surfaced.

... So then,

The FOURTH was GRUMPY JENKINS CAR.
... and his was also the first car with the 396/375 motor OFFERED To the General Public and PICKED UP at the Tech Center and not at a Dealership.

The FIFTH was MY CAR that was ORDERED and DELIVERED to Hechler Chevrolet.
... and it is UNKNOWN if GRUMPY JENKINS CAR was ORDERED thru a Dealership or not.

... Is this correct ?

Just trying to understand the sequence correctly.

.... Just going by what Kurt at CRG has told me.

... Thanks for your input.
