70 ls6 camaro in muscle car review

I guess they made one car (vin#1) as a LS6. Smokey Yunick had it and it was 'supposed to be crushed' per GM. A nice read if you pick up the magazine. They called it a pilot prototype. FYI.

I call it BS. No docs to prove any of it.

These guys have been promoting this car for years. I will bet it will soon be for sale.

There is extensive discussion of it at http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/index.php.  The owners certainly don't give the impression that they are promoting it to sell but anything is possible.  I will be curious to see if your prediction pans out as I hadn't considered it until you mentioned it.

The Camaro Corral did a feature on it when found at the Yunick auction. At that time it was a hulk with a 6 cylinder VIN and no drivetrain.

How convenient that this car and the alleged '68 Z/28 Hemi 302 surface after Yunicks' passing.

I regret posting this here now, I forgot this is a first gen camaro site only. I like L78 cars and got caught up with that neat article on the 70, now I wonder if it is really real when you think about it, the only aspect for sure is its VIN#1. With no pictures or no docs of it back in the day as a LS6, it is speculation. sorry, newbie error.

I have no dog in this fight, nor have I seen the article referred to about the alledged 70 LS6 Camaro.  I do see that several pages in my 70 Camaro assembly manual are dedicated to RPO LS6.  There must have been some activity concerning this option?

[william]

Yes they must have considered it. There are also pages in the '67 AIM dedicated to the tri-power 350. JL-8 is in the '68 AIM.

Lots of concept stuff does not make production.
