First production of Los Angeles 1967 Z-28 Models
« on: February 25, 2016, 03:59:48 PM »
I understand that there was some delay in the production of the Z-28 model at the Los Angeles plant for the 67 model. This may have been a factor in the "conversion" done on the Dana Chevrolet/Guldstrand Trans Am car that was first raced in St. Jovite. The first run of Z-28 models was done at Norwood starting on Dec 29, 1966 as I understand. Is there any indication when the first production happened at the Van Nuys plant?

The answer is in "The Definitive 1967 - 1968 Camaro Z/28 Fact Book" by Jerry MacNeish. It's an excellent resource.
