Yeah, he did say they did say that they predated the camaro's early on... I also read a few articles that quoted the same. Cars were built in December of 66'. I'm guessing about 6 months after the camaro?
I did get nervous when a saw the convertible in the background with Rally II wheels on it, but looks like they did put correct wire hub caps back on.
I have photos of these cars from the early to mid 80s I need to dig up.
