What is the story on the Cam Camaro. I see it's been brought out to shows over the last year but have not seen a write up on the cars history such as where has it been all these years, and what condition was it found in?

 Great question!!!  I'm seeking the same answers, yet no one is interested in sharing the info.

Cool photos!  The back end of the "Cherokee" in your first photo looks like the '68 Corvette with it's "built-in" spoiler and split rear bumper.  Thanks for sharing BBP!

Paul,  Here is the only shot that I could find of the spoiler, nothing on the rear bumper,however.

I'm a little surprised that no one has any interest in these historical Camaros

 Either way, Here is a then and now on the only 67 Concept that I am aware is truly alive!

 This car made Chevrolet's Show Circuit back in 1967, at one point, it was dispaplyed with a wild 67 RS fitted C10 OR C20 Truck. Towards the end of 1967, it was tabbed for the CanAm Pace Car duties.
 It will pop up in photos every once in the while, however, the trim tag has never been shared as far as I'm aware.

 
 Then.

General Discussion / Concept Camaros Does anyone have any info on........

I was wondering if there is any info on any possible surviving 1967 Concept cars. These one off cars are a piece of History, it would be quite interesting if anyone could post any pictures of the cars today.
 I would like to confirm that there was two different Cut Away Cars, one 6 pop the othe an SS 350.
 There are plenty of pictures of the SS 350 car but none of the 6 pop.

 The Cam Am Pace Car is still alive, but is the Waikiki Concept?

 Did the Caribe survive?

 Is the Fisher Wagon still around?

 Does anyone know if any Camaros still exist that wore parts from the AMT Catalog?

 Any true "Mod" cars left?

 It reads like a basic cover sheet for work to be completed.

Pat,

 When you see the page number of 24 on the bottom of 98168, you are seeing the actual page number from the book in was copied from.
 The work order is certainly greater than just those two pages that we have, but how much greater is the question.

It is the Indianapolis Zone Office. All the known Pace Cars were titled in the Zone name.

I'm not sure if I should jump in here but it's time to clarify what I believe Jeff is talking about in regards to the #3 Pace Car.
 
The 4K car that is in question, I believe, was one of the Display cars that could have been found at the Indy Museum or at the Murat Temple.
I have verified that at least two display cars were delivered to Indy. Just as today, the Museum always displays a mocked up Pace Car. In 1967, the original plan was to deliver 3 L78's. One for the Pace Car duties, one as a "back up" and one to be given to the winner of the race.

1967 was a year of many firsts, when it comes to the Pace Cars that were selected to pull the duties at Indy, this statement couldn't be truer. It is the first time in Indy history that the Pace Cars were considered modified. Although, not much by today's standards,but nevertheless modified for the day.
 Do to Speedway rules for Pace Car qualification and Chevrolet's hasty effort to debut to "the Industry" the NEW L78 motors in the Pace Car,  these cars had to be changed into the hybrid animals that Charley and the Clarey's have today..or more like what just Charley has today.
 The original third car was made into a test mule as stated by Phil. The fact that an L78 could not of had a automatic in 1967 is only true for public sales. The Chevrolet Proving ground Mechanics had the inherent problems that existed when mating a L78 up with a Turbo 400 worked out before the end of the first day of Pace Car trials.
  The only stated reason for the L78's being pulled is because they made a "Terrible racket" as described by one of the Indy Zone managers that I interviewed. And Chevrolet didn't want to chance anyone in the crowd or, god forbid, anyone watching at home to ask themselves..WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAMARO PACE CAR SOUND!!!!!!!

 So when it comes to the car that Jeff is talking about, which I believe to be this car (or one just like it). The "System" had already had it scheduled to be a L78, not for Pace Car duties, but to show it off to the ever pressing crowds that visit the Indy Museum and the Murat Temple at this time of year, the NEW L78 motor available to the Camaro.   

 Note about the car pictured.

 The Pace Cars and Pace Car replicas were numbered based on there delivery date. This car is #124 which is perfect for an 04D build car. We already have an 04C car which is # 117. 
 There are no other vintage pictures to date showing other replicas with Flags. Just the true Pace cars which all had white rears!
