Re: Million dollar camaro....
Here's a pic that a buddy sent to me. Looks like this 'million dollar camaro' might have been a pace car?

Re: Million dollar camaro....
They sometimes have old programs that you can look at and just might find a answer to that question.

Re: Million dollar camaro....
I don't think it's known if this is the same car....wonder if there is anything in the documents with the car pertaining to this...if not maybe there is another one hiding out there

Re: Million dollar camaro....
It is the same car. The photo was taken at the Road America Can-Am race (Elkhart Lake, WI) in August 1968. The car is not even a month old. Bill Mitchell traditionally brought one-off cars there every year to show off to the public. I remember seeing him bring his ZL1 Berlinetta. These cars always attracted a lot of attention, which I'm sure was the point. Ex-Formula 1 Grand Prix driver Sterling Moss driving a one-of-a-kind Z28 Convertible with a special never-before-seen hood was just the kind of promotional thing Bill Mitchell and GM loved.

Re: Million dollar camaro....
If this is the same car wouldn't a "correct" restoration have included the Road America pace car graphics?
Also, if these graphics done in August wouldn't this be after Pete Estes had finished with the car?

Re: Million dollar camaro....
The Pace Car lettering was just a set of decals. The car was not specifically built with the sole intent for it to be the Road America pace car but it is one part its history. For those of you who are wondering if this is a different car, exactly how many dark colored '68 Z28 convertibles with white interior, prototype cowl hood, and remote side mirror are you aware of? This is THE car, 1 of 1.

Re: Million dollar camaro....
That's a great picture! Imagine all the people that saw the car and never thought it was anything special.
