More follow up on this car! It seems back in the early 60s, a GM exe. retired and was given a chevy store. Since he had pull high in GM they gave him a  early camaro in 1966 which were called a Panther as desribed in previous post. This car was not for sale and had no title, it was used as a promo to take orders when the new Camaro came out. In 1967 when the camaro came out the dealer did not return this car to GM. Instead he gave it to his kid to drive with a dealer plate, a few years later he some how got a title and sold it to the guy who still owns it. HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER HEARD OF THESE CARS USED AS PROMO ELSEWHERE? THIS IS NOT THE 1967 DEALER INSTALLED PANTHER CAR SOLD LIKE A BALDWIN!

Has anyone ever heard of a 1966 Panther? a friend of mine was at this guys house and under a tarp in his carport looked like a 67 camaro, but when he uncovered it, the factory emblems in the same style of writing as camero say Panther! So he ask the guy what was it? The car had a factory 4-speed, 6 cylinder with a large metal strap on top of the motor, 4 piston disc brakes, hidden headlights that the guy said were not like anything produced, not how they looked but how they were activated, tick tock tach, some kind of mag spinner wheels on it. The guy who owened it claimed it was a 1966 panther and that was his retirement.the car needs a total resto, and he claimed they made 18 of these. Could this be a car used on gm proving grounds or a motorama car to promote the camaro or early model that gm never destroyed? oh also it had astro ventilation without ac!
