1967 Camaro – VIN #100001

Wallpaper Description:

The first Camaro. Carrying VIN #100001, this 1967 Camaro is documented as the first of 49 hand-built “pilot assembly” vehicles built at the Norwood, Ohio plant in mid-1966 – early models built for evaluation before regular production commenced. It was fitted with a 3.7L inline-six engine and a three-speed manual transmission. It was the car Chevrolet used for the public introduction of the Camaro, in August 1966, shortly before the car went on sale. It was also used in a number of public relations photos and promotional films. It eventually went to an Oklahoma Chevrolet dealer and passed through several owners, before being turned into a drag racer in the 1980s. It was purchased by Cory Lawson around 2009 and he oversaw its restoration to its production-line condition, with documentation assistance from the GM Heritage Collection
