Re: Scrapped camaro found?

I've been staring at it for a while.... REALLY looks like a 4 and a 7, the middle number is hard to make out, but it's blocky like a 2 would be, and really, only a 2 would make sense there....

But, you have a perfectly legitimate point in that it could just be the guys messing around with the styling a bit... and thought it'd be fun to put a 427 badge on there.

And it is a mockup for the concept car. GM could have put a jet engine in the concept if they wanted to. That doesn't mean they will release even one to the public...

I remember that one of the GMC Syclone mock-ups was once outfitted with Buick badge. Sounds kinda funny to think that they were once considering calling it a Buick Syclone...a Buick truck? That goes to show you.

Re: Scrapped camaro found?

Maybe this was one of their first designs. I found this on GM's website September 2004. Back when I found it, people thought it was the Cadillac Evok, but maybe it isn't?

I think that is is the GM Design Team badge that is on the concepts at the shows.

Interesting picture, but one of the small drawings on the wall has some large tall Caddy tailights, so I'm sure they weren't lying to you...

I like the concept, but I like that car. its got the round sides and is more 69 in it. Im just a 69 nut. Theres nothing better to me.

The LS7 really should be mute because Lutz himself

"And for those of you who might say, “Well, the Challenger has 35 hp more,” I would just reply that we have a certified 1OO more on tap from the ZO6 engine, should the need arise."

Re: Scrapped camaro found?

Looking closely at the pic- and from what was said about the first concept- taking its cues (retro) from the new mustang and such- I think that is the original scrapped design- I love 69's and the retro theme (loved Kris H's first PHR retro Camaro pics)- But now I feel even better about the concept they did- they are sooo on the right track!!

Can anyone get someone from the design team or Red P to verify?

I think seeing that pic makes the actual NAIAS car even stronger!!

I'm not seeing any numbers.

Never saw the picture before, but I've seen that yellow Camaro.

That's Ed Welburne's daily driver.

Re: Scrapped camaro found?

Here are all of the different concepts I have pics of. I think they chose the right one as far as these go (except I hate the hood scoop).

Funny how 2 of the clay concepts have photoshopped wheels.

I'd REALLY be interested to see ALL of GM's scale models (2 foot long ones) for their Camaro design proposals. I've only seen one of them, and it wasn't vastly different from what they made.

Re: Scrapped camaro found?

LOL, maybe I am just tired, but the headlight's on the first iteration of the Camaro concept remind me of Thomas the Tank Engine!
