"First Camaro in California. First Camaro road-tested in the print media. First street-driven Camaro with a big-block. First Camaro to gain editorial exposure in HOT ROD Magazine. First Camaro to carry an Edelbrock intake manifold. First Camaro to ever have a Hurst four-speed shifter. First Camaro in the 11s. First Camaro to take a test lap at Riverside Raceway. First Camaro to appear at an NHRA National event. First Camaro to ever 'beat' Bill Jenkins. First...... Pick one."
This Camaro was owned by Jim McFarland (of HOT ROD Magazine) for 29 years from the time he purchased it in late 1967 until he sold it to the current owner, Vic Edelbrock (President of Edelbrock Performance Products). The Camaro now resides in the Edelbrock Stable in California.
