1967 Camaro Number 100001
Camaro VIN #100001 (123377N100001), was built in secret in May of 1966 and kept under lock and key until the unveiling of the Camaro to the press a few months later.
According to Pilot Car Registry, a web site that has painstakingly documented every aspect of this special car's history, the first Camaro remained in the possession of GM through late 1966. It was used as a display piece at media events and shows, and was even equipped with a 110-volt display lighting system for that purpose. In December of 1966, it was sold to a Chevy dealer in Oklahoma, who kept it on the showroom floor for nearly two and a half years.
In April of 1969, Camaro N100001 was sold to its first owner for its full MSRP of $2,550. She kept it until 1975, until she sold it back to another dealer. The second owner bought it from the dealer for that same price, and gave it to his 16-year-old son. who drove it to high school.
After being used as a race car, it was retired for a number of years until discovered again in 2009.
