Unicorn option help ? D88

[bcmiller]

Sorry been gone a bit
Thanks for your reply

Yes I was a little puzzled with the m11 floor transmission control option, I never knew that type of shifter even existed, and from anything I can find out it came with a turbo 400 which would be a little surprising with a 327 cid.      This still has all the correct holes in the floor for that shifter .
I was not really aware of the pa2 wheel cover they came with either.

Thanks ……love the black and white photo that’s cool

TH400 only available with big block engines in 67-69 Camaros.

In early 2023, I came across one of these "unicorns" in northeast Philadelphia area in a private holding.  It was loaded with options with many of those options appearing to have possibly been either dealer-installed or owner-installed at some point in time because of the numerous flaws that I noticed that could not have been attributed to a factory install.  Regrettably, I did not note the build date on the trim tag.

The D-88 stripes and body paint appeared to be a very old lacquer job so possibly (but not plausibly) original?  Attached is a photo of the "unicorn" with the front license plate redacted.

I believe that car came out of Northern San Diego County quite a few years ago. It was pretty much debunked at the time.

Yup, I think it's the same car.

I like the look...might see how much a vinyl wrap will be.

And here is a previous thread with the VIN listed and a nice list of what's incorrect by Ed B.
