ZL-1 #55 is on my top 10 Camaro list

Normally I like the ZL-1s with the original wheels but I think #55 had Rally Wheels installed by the dealer when they added the white Rally stripes and 427 emblems to dress it up for the showroom

The dash in the last field of the trim tag has been found some 67 Yenko Camaros
sometimes it is a dash with a code sometimes just a dash
It is similar to what is on 1967 Camaro pace cars
I believe it was used to show the special order

John Greenwood bought a lot of ZL-1 engines from Chevy for his Corvette Racing team
He ran L-88 engines in 1971 and ZL-1 engines in 1972 and 1973
In one article , he said he bought all the ZL-1 engines Chevy had available.

Here is a clip from an article by Martyn Schorr  where he saw the ZL-1 engines in Greenwood's shop.

Jenkins ran his 67 in A/MP , B/G, and match racing (maybe others) with the fiberglass fenders with no SS emblems , no 396 flags.

I looked through a bunch of photos of the car and didn't see any with a Camaro fender emblem but he did have the SS emblems and 396 flag emblems on the steel fenders

Bill Jenkins 67 didn't have the Camaro fender emblem which may indicate an early car unless they were removed

there are pictures of the 67 with SS and 396 flag emblems which are steel fenders

and there are pictures of the 67 with no SS and no 396 flag emblems which are fiberglass fenders

Jenkins brought his 1966 Chevy II to the Winternationals  Fed 5 ,1967 so he didn't have his Camaro ready for this race.

He red lighted against the Hot Rod Magazine 67 Camaro . it was a big story because the Hot Rod Camaro had a illegal BB engine from Bill Thomas

Is that date known for when the CE code was first stamped on a block? I see some articles say 1967 and others say 1968

R68GTO , you can drill two holes in your stick and use it as a bolt on for an aftermarket Hurst Shifter.

I bought a lot of shifters in the 1980s and 90s just to use the stick on aftermarket Hurst Shifters.

back then a worn out OEM shifter was cheap at the swap meets but the round Hurst stick was popular to convert to a bolt on.

Same thing with the 67-68 Muncie shifter. I used to buy them and convert to a bolt on for aftermarket Hurst Shifters
