Originality / Re: 1968 special customized promotional car

The car is apart at the moment being repainted.. I purchased the car in 1973 from family friends who bought the car from the dealer off the floor.. not an optioned car... I have been looking for the book that had these cars listed however I can not remember where I read it at. From what I have read the  vigalante lite option is rare and in combo with all of the other options is exactly how Chey did the Promo cars. This car is original. I am the 2nd owner and have owned it since 1973.

Yes t is 1 of the promo cars......I'm not sure if I have any pics of the car... it is apart being repainted/restored..  they look like a standard Camaro with the exception of the bullets on the front fenders for the vigilante lites.. also has a rear spoiler..

This is a car that chevy produced for their sales promotion. What I have found so far over many years is that  a dealer may have received maybe 1 of these cars to put on the floor to promote the Camaro. I am not sure of the numbers that were produced.. once I saw production numbers however I can not remember where... appx 1200 cars I think. This car color is Rallye Green, I do not know the codes for the options however I was told a long time ago that these cars all came with the same options... bucket seats, power steering, a/c, power brakes, stainless trim, front and back seat belts, console w/ rear ashtray and lite, rear spoiler, vigalante lites, 327 w/4barrel carb, power glide trans, single leaf spring, nose stripe, standard front lites. I would like to keep it original.. however a nice hot rod would be nice .. I was told and I think this makes sense to put 4 wheel disk brakes on the car for safety reasons..

Hello.. I have an original 68 sales promotional car. I am the second owner of this car and bought it from a family friend in 1973 with 18k miles on it, now it has appx 110k. I can not find much info on this car and would like to know more as I am restoring this car for the 2nd time, not sure if I should leave it stock. It needs some small parts like the  fiber optic cable for the rear tail lights etc. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Bartman
