They have many pre-production parts -- they've had a lot of tough and rough miles put on them........and a lot of the interior panels do not have the final 'graining' applied........

I'll take one off your hands. Let me know when and where. On a completely unrelated note, are those cars insured against theft?

No shit, It would be nice to know what was going on with this car, and if there was or was not a sc/tc camaro in the works. There is a video of that car on this website, and this picture, other than that, there is nothing.

I say we all rally together and break these babies out jail before they go off to the gallows, Fbodfather will give us the inside info and we will save these pony cars and ride them off into the sunset. They'll live to see another day , I boy can dream right?

Very rare indeed. Coveted by camaro entusiasts around the world.... Placed on the endangered species list earlier this year. And never again seen since these pics were taken. This very well may be the only one left on the planet.

I heard that a mosquito bit it and there is a chance that using the DNA from that mosquito, we can rebuild the entire species. Now where in the hell is that mosquito?

Absolutely! Especially under the hood!

Those IVER cars for example are going to be pretty special as well. When we were at Indy, I at first wanted to be the guy who drove the yellow car around the track but then I thought about how I'd feel 20 years from now and the IVER car won me over because of it's place in the development. At least we all sat in it.

maybe this is one of the earliest V8's built and it was the reason GM decided to give it a bigger lower grill to reduce noise/add intake

Yeah, pics of the engine bay would be appreciated...

*GTAHVIT* · 11-19-2008, 09:57 AM

The first front fascia GM we saw was the V6 fascia. The SS fascia was seen later. Remember all the chubby cheeks comments?

So this very well could have been a V8.

Only one person has ever been known to definitively say that there was a supercharged IVER camaro... But that was quickly silenced. That car was supposedly being tested at the phoenix proving grounds. That pic was taken in phoenix.

Duh duh duuuuuh.

Also, Scott has loosely implied that a supercharged car was in the works but ultimately cast aside.... for now.

If you cry over the cars going to the scrappers.
