1st Camaro ever made
 

A guy emailed me a bunch of questions on my Y55 battery. He found me on google with a y55 search since my y55 page on z28.net is ranked really high.

Anyway, he is restoring the first Camaro ever made, VIN 00001.

Here is a picture of the car in 2010:

And a link to the story of the car going on EBay in 2010:

He seems like a nice guy and I told him I'd keep an eye out for another Y55 battery (with yellow tops). I believe that the car is almost done, but he seems secretive about the restoration.

Holy shit!

Now THAT is cool!!!

Wonder how much it would be worth if it was 100% factory stock?

Very intetesting

lol^^^^^

Not so fast!
the original camaro was call the chevrolet Panther and Ive read somewhere they had the first vin numbers 001 to 002 (2 were made)

Remember there is alot of people trying to make their cars more than they actually are.

I think he means actual camaro's not panthers

Yep. VIN # 123377N100001 is the first production Camaro. It was made at the Norwood plant.

It's too bad it lost the engine, trans, and rear-end but it's still pretty cool.

I wonder how far back the new owner researched it and how it's been restored. According to the VIN, it would be a 6-cylinder coupe.

In one of his emails, he said:
