This car has been kept privately out of the public eye for 52 years and as documented on the title, this Camaro has 2.4 miles.
This Camaro is referred to as the "Double Header Car" as it has both a 6-cylinder base model front end as well as an RS/SS 350 front end which sat on a series of three turn tables and could be interchanged to display either version of the car with just the push of a button.
The body would raise, the turn tables would rotate and in short, switch the front ends of the car changing it from an RS/SS 350 into a 6-cylinder base model car.
Mark, a mechanic and a Chevelle and Camaro parts dealer, purchased this show car back in 2010, and details as to its whereabouts subsequent to its onstage life are murky. Though unconfirmed, a handed-down story claims that this car went to an automotive technical school in New Jersey and years later, during renovations on the building, the Camaro was discovered in storage. It passed to a new owner, who considered making it a driver, but didn't. Then it was bought and owned for about 20 years by the person who sold it to Mark.
Fantastic find. Amazing that it survived.
