What he saw was a 97 Z28 with the front and rear sheetmetal of 69 grafted to it. The car was at the Frankenmuth Auto Fest. It was white with orange stripes with GA plates. And I wasn't the only one to see it either.

Well, I guess that sums that up pretty nicely.

I had seen the red 69 Camaro with a 3rd gen nose grafted on, but I hadn't heard of the 5th gen with 1st gen sheetmetal until now.

Any insiders care to elaborate any on whether or not this could be valid?

I highly doubt it.

Why? Guy said there are mules running around. So this one may be explained, that doesn't mean that there isn't a 5th gen mule driving down a deserted road somewhere right now.

Actually I said I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there was a mule running around, and I used the "Cor-maro" as an example.

Mules test cooling, chassis components, and a whole host of other engineering items. If GM is planning on bringing anything out within the next 2 1/2 years, it's an extremely safe bet that something is on the road right now testing.... especially now that money's available to test them.

I'M "THE GUY" WHO SAW THE THING

I'm not denying that what I saw could have been someone's backyard creation but it didn't look exactly like a 4th gen. It looked like a mixture of the SS concept on a 4th generation.
