Default Barrett Jackson pics WPB (dial up death)

Just returned from BJ in West Palm Beach, most pictures are C4 related but a few of other gens and the new Camaro included. Notice that several are from the GM Heritage collection that are being sold. I tried to get some of the unusual serial numbers, notice the 94 car number 100001 and some of the experimental cars. The black C4 with roadster hardtop and gold basket weave wheels had a C5 interior and exhaust the other black one is the FX3 test vehicle.
The test vehicles and mules were in rough shape.

Looks like they may have used a ZR-1 rear bumper on it. The C5 and C4 ZR-1 rears are about the same width

That might be a C5 under the C4 body.

You could be right, it seemed mostly C5 from what I could see, definitely interesting.

Great pics Jim!

I've heard the '10 Camero had 18k+ pre orders. Hard to tell which it is IMO, a Mustang or Challenger.......the GM problems continue I guess.

It looks taller though than a C4 bumper. I wouldn't be surprised if it were mostly custom body work in order to fit on the C5. It really uglies up the rear of what was otherwise a great looking car! Even in C4 disguise the rear looks bloated.

It is Puff - the factory Twin Turbo mule that evolved into what became RPO B2K 1987 - 1991 Twin Turbo Corvettes
