I had the pleasure to see the recently restored 1970 Camaro PILOT car #1
This car was used by GM and Smokey Yunick to test High Performance GM parts.

With the restoration completed just this year, I saw the car at their second show at the 40th Anniversary of the F Body this past weekend at the GM Technical Center in Warren, Michigan.

This is an amazing car and quite a piece of Chevrolet and Camaro history

I posted a feature story on the car at www.MichiganClassics.com

That was a sweet car.

It was neat to see the hand-made prototype parts there too!

Once again I am envious of your adventures in autodom. :bowdown: Chuck is envious as well better watch you back as he might be too scared to confront you face to face.

Do you have a direct link to the feature story?

Sweet! That's got to be a rush just seeing that car!

I had that story in one of my older magzines. Cool story and real treasure find.

My favorite F body's are the '70-3's, both Camaro and Firebird. I'd be owning one if the opportunity to own my convertible didn't come about. I was looking at a '70 Formula when a friend said, "Jenny is selling her '69 triple black drop top."

Smokey Yunick was a brilliant engineer and mech. We all benefit from his innovations. I use to have one of his books on making SBC's perform better, back when I was strictly a bow tie guy.

Speaking of Warren, MI, the '09 Hot Rod Power Tour will be making a stop at the GM Technical Center. I may be doing part of the tour.
